Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 05, 2021

No one keeps pencils in boxes anymore. These days, those things are only used as houses for little clay people.

Exactly the right response, Marigold. :-) And I want a rainbow, too!

“UNICORNIVERSITY: Because UNICORN! Submit your applications today!”

Panel 5: A tool which you can have some real pride for.

Panel 7: Ehh. When it comes to Shiny objects you might be more inclined to box and never use them.

… and shiny is good because REFLECTION…

well, obviously Marigold’s major degree will be in unicorns at the unicorniversity, but what will her minor degree be in?

“Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows and everything is wonderful is what I feel when we’re together” Leslie Gore!

There’s no room for shiny pencil boxes at Uniconiversity!

My horse goes to school every time I get on her.

I like Sue’s back-to-school supplies:

I didn’t know kids still used pencil boxes. I used a cigar box when I went to school in the 1970s!

I’ll trade you for any of your things…..

Ah yes, the days of back-to-school shopping.

I wonder if a Unicollege exists as well.

I hope she earned her way into Unicorniversity instead of having her celebrity parents bribe the administration to let her in on some bogus scholarship… like some people…

Popsicles, icicles, baseball and fancy clothes.

nooooo phoebe, dont let her go! they are gonna marry her off to some other little girl on some weird island full of terrible weather!

This is high school, and not college, but “According to investigations, New Braunfels High School is the only high school in Texas, and probably in the United States, that has the Unicorn for its mascot. Way to find a mascot as unique as you are, New Braunfels.” I live less than a mile from the high school, so I’ll keep my eyes open for Phoebe and her Unicorn.
