Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 16, 2012

This is just . . . so lovely.

Aww!

Beautiful!

Dana, you are incredible – you just gave my Mom the ultimate Christmas gift. I’ll be showing that to her today as this is the song that she always sang to my daughter when she was younger. You made me laugh and cry at the same time! This one has no equal for me except for two: the “A princess and a unicorn finally got it right” (they have) and Marigold’s “Look! Now I am standing on no legs!” (which is STILL the King – or is that Queen – of Sunday strips for 2012)!

Long live Marigold and Phoebe! Long live Dana! Bless you for your incredible work on this strip!

Compare today’s strip with this one: http://www.gocomics.com/heavenly-nostrils/2012/09/23If your best friend is a unicorn, you want to keep her in a good mood.She – can turn the greyest sky blueShe can make it rain, whenever she want it to…

That’s what happens whenever I go riding, metaphorically at least! :)

I could use one of those bubbles.If not for the sunshine, at least for the dry.

I think she will forgive you Marigold.

Nice song. The guy who originally sang it wasn’t so.

Not really unicorn.

Just DON’T start humming, ‘Let It Rain’ or ’Riders on the Storm."

Buy me one of those.

Marigold probably just doesn’t like the smell of wet human

lets hear it for the shield of anti-rainyness? Well now I know not to buy a Unicorn an umbrella.

Don’t worry, Phoebe. Marigold’s keeping you dry, and neither of you are even carrying an umbrella!

“Let a smile be your umbrella.”That’s not a bubble of dryness, it’s a tunnel that goes all the way to the sky!

I REALLY wish i had that bubble now. Winds might go from bad to ugly tonight.

:D

it’s kinda strange to see phoebe wearing a jacket, gloves, boots, and scarf when everything’s all sunny (in panel one)
