Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 20, 2024

Phoebe had two ladders, but they got divorced, and one of them remarried. Now she has a step-ladder.

Of all the strips to rerun, it’s hilarious that this one, which involves a tree and Marigold’s horn getting stuck in a plant, was the one that was picked! It’s quite brilliant, really. (The original strip was published on September 19th, 2021.)

Testing a theory, you need a control group of apples that weren’t poked through by a unicorn horn. Get a ladder.

Apple core!
