Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 30, 2023

Now THIS is a strip I want to see animated.

A dramatization of real events. What events? That’s up for debate.

Phoebe: Ehh, I can live with that (Goes back to her phone).

I remember a Calvin & Hobbes strip when they had a slow race and Hobbes moved so slowly that he was moving backwards

Well, now I’m back to singing Slow Motion from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. (You should all go see the video on YouTube.)

Her mane and tail are waving slowly as she moves. “How?” you ask. “Unicorn!” we all reply.

any creature the size or weight of a horse could never possibly balance or control their bodies so smoothly or slowly

And very dramatic music is heard in the background!

Do you have ‘Chariots of Fire’ on your playlist?

The drama is too much. Perhaps you could shift gears to a light trot?

The drama is overwhelming!

Jump up and down in dramatic slow motion excited anticipation, Phoebe!

Its sad that it hadn’t occurred to Phoebe to film this.

And today’s lesson, kiddies? Drama has four hooves.

The new spokes-unicorn for Tri-Star pictures.

Needs music in the background. When John Denver ran in slo-mo toward Miss Piggy in a Muppets Christmas special, the music was Michel LeGrand’s “If It Takes Forever.”

Google “Drama button” for a fitting sound effect.
