Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 16, 2020

Yay! It’s Marigold, the unicorn who can play a record with her horn!

Did someone say “subtext”? That’s not a word that summons me, I just want to know if I heard right.

Marigold reminds me of an old New Yorker cartoon where the crass cocktail party bore says, “Well, enough about me. What do YOU think of my book?”

cannot wait to know what tunes Sue’s father is into (methinks Sue’ll be disappointed she found musicians who she thinks sound punk, but they’re not)

So maybe sometime, she’ll try to make some YouTube change by doing a series called the Angry Record Player Nerd (FT Marigold Heavenly Nostrils).

♪♫ Love grows… where my Marigold goes…. and nobody knows but me… ♪♫

Who needs a record player when you’ve got UNICORN?

I’m surprised that the kid knows what a vinyl record looks like and how to use it, having grown up in the digital age.;-D

Plot Twist!

That record is actually “Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine”.

For the record, Mari will do anything to get attention.

Wait…. she put a LP in her round suitcase and it didn’t break?! Respect!!!

Of course they were talking about Marigold. What else is there to talk about?

What about Marigold’s neighing contest?

Good Marigold’s horn can play vinil records.

Methinks Marigold might find a song by the Beatles she’ll feel she HAS to play for Ringo in there!

Marigold has a point.

How do you safely carry records in a duffle bag?!?

I have a few old 78’s……….does this date me? (And, NO, I am not 78 or even close to it!)

Did somebody say Swiftwind?

Well, Marigold does have a needle, like a record player.

I always give a “like” to this strip every day, as it is my current favorite comic. But sometimes I really wish I could give an extra “like”. Today’s really made me chuckle.

She can be like Rex from “My Cage.”

Record player?? Now you’re talking great-grandparents.

didnt marigold go to a neighing contest

THERE’S your record player! :)
