Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 30, 2021

I thought Dana was done making political cartoons. Especially now that this joke has been irrelevant for the better part of this year.

And she just happened to be there at the time.

It might have been Lord Splendid Humility making the suggestion( after all, we never saw who made it, did we ? ).

After whom else should they name such award?

We meet the “Council of Unicorns”! Great!

This explains a lot!

That’s the fastest-acting council I’ve ever seen!

Aaannndd… the fix is in.

Oh! So the award for most magical, sparkling unicorn just happens to be named after a white unicorn?!

jk and for the record I do think the oscars are some bs. green book sux

The Council of Unicorns met long ago, a time before constantly changing background colors.

You’re welcome, Mr. Wizard.

I do hope that off-panel voice was not MHN. I would be crushed to know that she is capable of telling a big, fat, stinky, lie.

Aaah, maybe the award is to express what Marigold should aspire to?

Just business as usual then, I see.

Couldn’t they have at least gotten out of their pajamas before convening?

That final panel is almost cubist.

Maybe it was “John Barron” (or “John Baron”), “John Miller” or “David Dennison.”
