Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 03, 2023

You don’t have to worry about brutal revenge for that Phoebe. It’s not that kind of strip. I hope.XD

Well hold on! Phoebe didn’t finish her sentence. I think she just saved herself.

You ever feel like you’ve fallen into a hole by complete accident, and want to get out, but someone keeps kicking you back in because they’re convinced that you dug it on purpose?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?

I think Dana Simpson’s greatest bit in this comic strip is making pathological narcissism funny and somehow likable.

Ups.

I think Phoebe should have thought before speaking and said that different unicorns all claim to be the most beautiful in the world. Marigold might have understood her point then.

Open mouth, insert foot!

Been a while since I broke this one out, but

DEAD.

Phoebe! How could you?

not at all hyperbole Phoebe, big mistake.

“It was at this moment she realized…she was not so magnificent.”

Probably the worst insult Phoebe has ever said to Marigold.

“Oh, I am certain you are, Ms. Nostrils … as long, that is, as I, the Honorable B. Brummell Dandy-Fop, Esquire, am not myself present there, of course.” (Takes a pinch of snuff – elegantly, as always – and sneezes – elegantly, as always.)

I love Marigold’s “I am offended” face.

Even as she was saying it, I was thinking “oh snap, don’t say that!”

Hey, Phoebe, you ever heard of the expression “Think before you speak”?

We don’t use the term “hyperbolic” we are happier using "Unicorn! " ㋡

Uh oh, eyebrows…

now, don’t i seem to recall that there was a unicorn version of the “hyperbolic time chamber” from drabonball z? Phoebe went there one time to do her homework, i thinik?

(i think the technical term was a “formless void outside time and space”)

way to walk yourself into that one, Phoebe

Phoebe is in a lot of hot water here.

But Marigold, all unicorns say that about themselves. ALL.

Not in Lompoc, California. The unicorns who live there are VERY protective of their turf.
