Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 30, 2020

Maybe someone else already pointed this out in the previous comments section, but I just had a thought: could Stevie have been named after Stevie Wonder?

Panel 2: Hey there are all kinds of Punk. Like say an NES Punk.

Gabba Gabba hey! Looks like they have their nonsensical lyrics.

If it was death metal I’d recommend variations of “GARGLE BLARGLE! BLARGLE GARGLE! SATAN (etc.)” What would be Punk lyrics? “Yagga gagga the Queen! Bagga yagga society” ?

As they’re rumored to say in the Gemstone Estates, despite that not being true,

“Todo sere.”

For some reason, seeing that bass strapped to Phoebe, I hear the bassline of Psycho Killer.

Is Sue’s last name Ramone?

Not nice to refer to your friend as “it”, Phoebe! :D

Is “gabba gabba hey” the punk version of yabba dabba do?

GABBA GABBA HEY! GABBA GABBA HEY! GABBA GABBA HEY!!!!!

Yep, Suzzy Ramone. :)

There is a Phoebe who is in the news in the UK. She’s a little younger than our Phoebe as she is only six. She fell in a river in North Wales and was swept over a waterfall but she escaped with bruises. The TV news showed her playing on her trampoline and on her garden swing after surviving with so little damage.

Heh, “Gabba Gabba Hey” happens to be a cheat code for an old PC game of mine, which, once you type it in, serves as a sort of activation key that will then allow you to type in all the other cheat codes.

I bring it up, because whenever you type in any cheat codes in this game, the game will immediately call you a “Cheater!,” and now I can’t help but hear that in my head. :P

Sue needs some sort of translator.

I love Stevie’s reasoning for joining them. Unfortunately, he’s probably the only one who can play.

She watched too much “Yo Gabba Gabba!” when younger.

Can you say ADD?

My favorite punk rock kids show is “Yo Gabba Gabba Hey”.

Stevie’s quite a kid, he’s a wonder…

Doesn’t “challenging” go against the spirit of “Punk?”

I don’t know what it is but she has certain je ne sais quoi.
