Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 19, 2022

If it turned out Marigold was secretly a cursed human all along, that would’ve been the best plot twist in history.

You think that’s dangerous, try the blood moon from Zelda: Breath of the wild!

I’m glad Simpson’s muse is still operative… And weird.

what is never a unicorn thing?

Sometimes, a wolf is cursed to be a were-man.

I like the background of this strip, very nice

Great colors today(night)!

Neigh-Woooo!!

Love it !

Wasn’t that a collar style way back? No, that was Nehru!

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!!!

Phoebe is thinking that by the full moon Marigold becomes a WEIRD unicorn.

Neighwoo? Do they make cars?

Properly speaking, the prefix “were-” means “man” (as in human, not necessarily adult male). It’s the same thing with the “anthropos” part of “lycanthrope”.

“I saw a unicorn with a chinese menu in his hand/Walkin’ through the streets of Soho in the rain…”

I think Marigold is just making that up.

I would watch or read an story about an girl or guy who becames an unicorn at night.

<—(is now trying to figure out how to seamlessly work “NEIGH-WOOOO!!” into a conversation)

As a teen, I got the idea of a were-self, who doesn’t change shape but experiences pain and turns savage under the moon.

I imagine at some point Phoebe will be turned into a unicorn, either by choice or because of some botched spell.

Sunday June 19th! Today I awoke to find my lavender unciorn balloon floating at eye-level. She is losing her lift… SO… thinking quickly, I used my sharp scissors to snip off the ribbon she has been trailing for the last ten days. Quick as a wink, she drifted happily back up to the ceiling! The Unicorn STILL FLIES!! However, I do believe she is aging gracefully. Tomorrow she may again be at eye level or nestled comfortably on top of my shelf. LONG LIVE THE UNICORN BALLOON!!

A were-unicorn is still not as scary as a vampire unicorn who sleeps all day, then stalks the night, feeding on the oats of the living!

Cute outfit, Phoebe.

Reminds me of the time I wrote the story of The Invisible Count Frankenwolf Mummy Monster!

And even more egotistical!

hahaha

“neigh-woo” is my new exclamatory remark for the saying
