Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 19, 2023

It’s actually more of a staycation if you’re not traveling anywhere.

Heaven. Heaven is a place. A place where nothing; nothing ever happens. D. Byrnes.

gee… how did Phoebe ever get around from place to place before she ever met Marigold? the school bus and her parents’ car?

Something did happen. Marigold is a dime richer and Phoebe is a dime poorer.

My boss is always trying to get me to take that kind of vacation.

We used to call that a vacation in “Porchville”!

There’s not much of a point in going to Disneyland either. All the rides are built for human-sized bipeds.

Unicorns. Gotta love ‘em.

Well, actually dime changes ands…er…hooves…

I think Marigold’s the one who’s jealous, jealous of all of the other people she was hearing going on vacations and she wanted in on that racket enough to overlook the details of how it’d need to work.

I’m jealous of her glamorous vacation. Well, not the part where you carry a kid around on your back.

Of course she is…..

Marigold always makes it about her…but adorably so.

This will become known as the Marigold Vacation Con.

Once you’ve had a job, and then not had a job for a while, you understand.
