Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 17, 2022

What happened to Marigold being jealous of Phoebe being allowed to see Lord’s face?

“Sorry. UNICORN blinders!”

Just another humanized invention stolen from unicorns!

Humans call those “Blinders”. The horse part is usually a given. Unicorns apply.

In the UK we call those “Blinkers”.

Can Phoebe keep a straight face, though?

Isn’t he standing right in front of her? How does this help??

Phoebe should get a “Magic Sparkling Harness”, and a “Glittering Eldritch Carriage”,for Marigold to “Elegantly Purvey” her around.

I wonder if LSH always has some of these devices with him.

JUST SHOW US HIS FACE, DANAAAAAAA :(

Sooooo, if the horse and/or unicorn is Italian, are they called Venetian Blinders?

They don’t really seem to be shimmering, though.

Yeah, Phoebe; you don’t wanna open that can of worms again:

Those are for racing horses, right?

Here in the UK they’re called blinkers, not blinders. Hence the term “blinkered vision” means seeing only straight ahead, and not noticing what’s going on around you.

I would actually like to see Marigold interact with a horse. I can imagine several funny scenarios – everything from failure to communicate, to falling for a stallion who is “dumb as a rock”.
