Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 28, 2020

Hungarian-born Zsa Zsa Gabor was the ruler of Venus in 1958’s Queen of Outer Space.

Hungary? No thanks. I’ll already ate.

Awwww. I used to tell my kids my own stories and used all kinds of voices. I’d give a lot to have that back again.

A nice father-daughter moment.

How in the heck does he know what a Hungarian accent sounds like?

I can buy that Star Wars has some sort of translation convention, making it so the audience hears Galactic Basic as English (or the language of whatever foreign dub you watch). And I can buy that it has the courtesy to map specific accents to familiar ones from Earth.

Why then, does Huttese not turn into French, or something?

“Her English is too good”, he said, That clearly indicates that she is foreign.

Whereas others are instructed in their native language, English people are’n.

And although she may have studied with an expert dilectician and grammarian,

I can tell that she was born – Hungarian!

(Not only Hungarian, but of royal blood. She is a princess!)"

- My Fair Lady

I guess it’s because the Hungarian accent didn’t require any Polish?

Phoebe has a great dad.

So if her notes are bad at the end, will not be her fault.

When are we going to see the Suzie series published? If this isn’t a backdoor pilot it should be at this point.

What’s really bad is that he was actually using a Romanian accent! He totally fooled her!!!

“Load up ze zaap guns, dah-links!”

Those look like Wii Classic Controllers, but they’re not connected to anything.

Maybe you should’ve included a (short) list of all the Graphic Novels that won an award, like Batman, the Dark Knight Returns or The Killing Joke (Kirby and Eisner/Harvey Award respectively.)

Phoebe, I hope you don’t get a bad grade on account of it not being a “traditional/classic book” if it helps any, last year I saw a news article that stated that one of the big ivy league colleges had put a fanfiction called “Background Pony” on their list of summer reading books.

A Hungarian accent? Stevan Brust would approve.

And with this comic I have finished binge-reading the entire back-catalogue and am totally caught up. This is a wonderful comic

I wonder if there is a “Cleopatra in space” reference hidden in here.

I want to hear his accent now…
