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

Lemme guess, there’s a bunch of unicorns with their manes out of place by one hair?

Get some paper. I bet they aren’t unwritable horrors.

Hey, for all we know, it probably got it’s name just because it sounded cool.

‘dark-mirror universe Marigold’ already warned you: chicken butt.

So the Lovecraft dimension. Got it.

Marigold returns with a phone booth.

Marigold: “Is this your phone?”

Phoebe: “No!”

Is “unspeakable horrors” about what will happen when you tell Phoebe’s parents you misplaced her $500 phone in an other dimension?

Oops.

The comic will be on hiatus as Phoebe auditions for a replacement friend, unicorn or otherwise.

A dimension with no reflective surfaces?

The “unspeakable horrors” are probably a bunch of fun-house mirrors.

Yes, then you’d have the chance to send another thing to that dimension.

“Imagine a dimension of sitcom roommates forever having pratfalls.”

“Is that what it’s like there?”

“No, I am simply trying to distract you.”

Borrow another phone and call the number. Someone, or something, might answer.

I’m thinking the “unspeakable horrors” are fun house mirrors, because little else is more horrifying than anything that portrays a unicorn in an unflattering light.

Unspeakable? You don’t say.

Unspeakable horrors? A dimension in which unicorns aren’t able to talk about how lovely they are?

“Cant you give me an ballpark descrption or something ?”

anyone notice how phoebe became horrified when Marigold said “Even if I wanted to return it, I couldn’t” instead of the “unspeakable horrors” bit?

Marigold is always very precise in her speech.

Hey, the so-called Unicorn of Death doesn’t kill anybody.

darn phone separation anxiety

Marigold could always text her….no, I guess she can’t.

Now we have trouble. Tell mom see if she and dad can find it in this dimension.

Funny thing about these horrors, they’re not all that horrible, you just can’t pronounce their names.
