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

Admit it, Marigold. You got there stuck by accident and conjured up the plaque to hide your embarrassment.

Forget Wabbit and duck season, it’s unicorn season! Laughs like Elmer Fudd

Oh, the things Marigold does for attention.

The geography of the house seems to change from panel to panel.

Don’t worry Phoebe. The “human establishment” was the Mile Long Bar at Magic Kingdom that she stumbled into: https://youtu.be/gDHhtLenCtI?t=12

There’s a place in France

Where the unicorns all dance

There’s a hole in the wall

But her folks won’t mind at all.

Eh…heh…heh… You haven’t been watching the Animaniacs reboot, have you, Marigold? You know that show’s intentionally unrealistic.

whatever gets you ahead.

Be a bit drafty now Marigold!

If the deer head starts laughing, THEN it’s time to worry.

She must have been running damn fast when she hit that wall!

That seems like an odd place for a wall.

I’m afraid the owner of that establishment wanted to do to Marigold the same they did to the deer.

They probably won’t be, Marigold. I remember an early comic where they checked and found out that their home insurance does not cover instances of UNICORN.

Just break it to her gently, Phoebe.

Reminds me of that Fractured Fairy Tales cartoon when the three bears’ heads were sticking out of plaques on the wall.

I knew it!

Reminds me of the unicorn skull on the wall of the judge’s chambers in “Night Court.”

It’s not often you see children in the position of possibly telling adults the truth about uncomfortable subjects (death, reproduction, whether lying is ok). Can’t blame Phoebe from running from it.

OOOooo… Marigold is gonna learn someday…
