    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this might be the first storyline to focus primarily on a character besides Phoebe or Marigold.

    I’ll take “blaart!” over bullies any day.

    I could tolerate my bullies heckling me in the locker room. But when they learned my combination and left me a “present” in my locker, that’s when I had to draw the line and move to a new one.

    Yes, Phoebe even is popular online. I’m again talking in-universe. Not like she or her unicorn could head a comic strip or Nicktoons.XD

    To blart or not to blart. That is the question.

    I don’t think we’ve ever seen these alleged “bullies”. Let’s get some sociopaths in this strip straight out of the 80s!

    Is this what they call trauma bonding?

    Nothing worse than goblins blarting up a storm.

    Attention also isn’t a good thing when it’s from upper management or senior officers…

    Well now we understand a lot more about why Max is insecure, it’s because of the bullying at school.

    Max also seems generally uncomfortable with people who say he’s great, like he either doesn’t believe it and has low self esteem or is simply annoyed by it.

    Although I don’t think he’s annoyed so much as he doubts himself he generally does better with people who aren’t so hyper and talkative.

    He could simply be a bashful type like LSH, but probably mostly because of the bullying.

    I wonder why he and Marigold aren’t interacting more often than every so rarely once in a while.

    Wonder if it’s because Marigold is too excitable for him or is it because every child in this series has their own unique personal friend who almost belongs to that child.

    What I’m surprised by is how it seems like Dana is possibly gender stereotyping by giving Phoebe a unicorn special friend, but giving Max a dragon.

    Like how girls have unicorn toy horses whereas boys have regular toy model horses if they have any at all.

    but I’m most certain that Dana would never EVER be gender stereotyping in that way because Dana’s top goal has been to make something that appeals to everyone and show how differences are good and that humans are humans period whatever their identity.

    and in fact if a boy ever had a toy or best friend unicorn that does not make him gay or trans.

    No connection whatsoever.I wish parents wouldn’t limit their child’s toys based on gender stereotyping.

    Each toy teaches something important.

    Dolls could teach a boy how to treat women and children the right way.

    It would be nice if Max had a unicorn friend too.

    Phoebe’s camping friend Sue does have a water dragon friend named Ringo, but I can imagine that such a friend would be very limited.

    You would only be able to visit him in large bodies of water and only when the water is not frozen.

    So that’s only half the year every year.

    And he can’t take you places on land like Marigold or Voltina could.

    For me it’s usually from tourists who chase me around town, sniffing me and taking pictures with their smart-phones… or random crazies yelling at me on the street for not paying my child-support (I don’t have any children, for the record)
