Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 21, 2021

REALLY hope he doesn’t gain a crush on her. That would be awkward.

Time traveling to learn about your family? Yawn.

Go back to talking about videogames. That’ll cheer him right back up. Surely, he also plays the classic Nintendo?

Why else, Ethan, if not your hypothesis nor her actual reason?

Did anyone else notice that Phoebe just called her future father “Dude” ?

Now, is her dad going to remember all this when he becomes an adult?

I don’t usually like time travel plots, but the notion of someone instantly guessing the truth is so much better than all those embarrassing “whups, I just dropped another awkward future reference” scripts.

Phoebe’s question isn’t fully answered yet.

Pretty disappointing, but stil cool.

Everything becomes boring eventually; Boating across an ocean, Riding on a Train, Riding in a Car, Flying in a Plane, Flying in a Space Shuttle, Traveling through Time, Riding a Unicorn (who can travel through time)… See, every one eventually becomes boring and mundane.

IIRC there was a movie ’Time Rider" where a motorcycle racer was sent back in time and he was his own grandfather.

Though in reality, it should have more meaning, but time travel it is…..

“Boring” was probably not the most complimentary word.

Why would you need a reason for Time Travel? I mean seriously, if I could I would probably go back to different situations I have been in to see whether I am remembering them right!

In the early 1990’s what would have surprised you about history up to the early 2020’s? Barack Obama elected president? The continued prevalence of MS Windows as an Apple-clone? China successfully landing a probe on Mars before Australia?

When I was your age, I met a strange and cute girl who claimed to be a relative from the future.

Oh hey! Phoebe answered the question I raised in yesterday’s strip! And the answer was pretty underwhelming. At least this probably won’t end with some butterfly effect nonsense.
