Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 06, 2020

Unicorn, Menicorn, Himnicorn, Hernicorn, Themnicorn, Itnicorn…

Anything else?

Marigold’s story gets less and less credible the more you notice that Narcissus isn’t talking about anything at the moment.

if there’s no such thing as him-icorns, there must not be her-icorns either

Dana seems to have reached about as far as she can reach on this one. Bets on when the story arc changes direction? I’m going for Thursday.

Marigold: “Nonsense. I am talking about him”.

Phoebe: “You only talk about yourself. You COMPLAIN about him”.

Marigold: “I………Ahh…………err……………… FAKE NEWS!”

Does he need someone to talk to about himself?

I suspect that we need to be careful around him in case he feels that the Shield of Boringness is inappropriate…

Now I really want him to say something.

See Brevity on glittering unicorns!

Of course, now we need to have a conversation with this guy, just to see if talking with him really IS any different from talking with Marigold.

(ponders text of “never” in the last panel of the cartoon; imagines seeing text of “do not” appear in place of that text of “never”)

Personal pronouns these days can be a minefield.

It’s getting rather corny here.
