Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 10, 2020

Well someone has to laugh.

MARIGOLD!! Be polite! The correct way to handle this to snicker derisively and then spend the rest of the conversation pretending to suppress your giggles!

Is your haunting an apparition, tortured soul, wraith, poltergeist, phantasm, banshee, shade, demon or… what? No, we do not summon dead family members and then catch them so you can ask the combination to the safe.

I wonder… two possibilities on that “HA!” 1: “Ha ha! You’re getting yours for a change!” 2: “You think it’s a ghost but it’s really me!” Tune in tomorrow to find out!

I’m hoping it’s the 3 Christmas ghosts and Dakota becomes a better person for it.

do tell, Dakota (thanks a lot, Marigold, for eavesdropping on the girls’ sincere conversation)

Marigold, at this point, an eyeroll would be most appropriate.

Maybe Todd’s found a gig?

I would take that seriously it could be a chance to see some thing amazing and help out a friend but maybe Marigold knows ghost don’t exist? but I see no reason they can’t. I would give Dakota a nice friendly boy ghost who just wants to be nice to her and he needs to be given a chance. Thats my fan fic any ways Im sticking to it.

Amazing viewpoint angle on that 3rd panel. And Dana makes it look easy!

Why not “. . . , but I think I can trust you.”?

In a world where there exist unicorn, goblins, sea creatures and dragons, a spectre wouldn’t be out of ordinary.

Apparently ghosts are simply a human legend, like pegasi (according to Marigold).

Maybe it’s not a ghost but something other mythical creature that’s giving the impression of a ghost.

In any case, this should be interesting to see play out.

The Branch Ghost returns!

MARIGOLD! Be more sensitive….the ghost wouldn’t appreciate you laughing at its situation.

Be prepared for a spirited response, Dakota.

Or maybe the goblins are hunting her down?

A girl who had snakes for hair is worrying about being haunted??

Not even the Goblin Queen can protect Dakota from Marigold’s snickering!

GASP! I wonder who is haunting her and why. Dakota is always so nice to everyone, so modest, so helpful!

Don’t cross the streams.

Looks like Dakota might meet her ‘soul’ mate…

Very likely that Dakota might be haunted. I have been more than once.

Oddly enough, I’m reminded of Popeye saying to a friend, “I wanna ask ya sump’n. Sump’n serious, and don’t laugh neither. Do ya believe in evil spiriks?”

Now that can be a probelm.

As long as the ghost only speaks in one unintelligible word.

OOH! Dakota’s being terrified by some scary ghosts and “goblins”? ;)
