Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 10, 2013

I’d be surprised if Dakota got sick too and the whole play got cancelled.

Im still waiting for either Marigold to fix things or for Karma to catch up with Dakota.

It’s probably just shading. It’s darker in both panels 1 and 4.

Wait, what? Dakota’s been (theoretically, at least) rehearsing Jenny Junebug’s lines, not Lisa Ladybug’s. Switching roles at the last possible time is a recipe for failure…

This hatred of Dakota is irrational. Being attractive and popular is not by itself an evil vice. When you have a unicorn for a friend, you have no need for adulation.

I can picture Dakota on stage, revelling in her moment, and then suddenly throwing up in front of everyone. Unicorn!

Please!Not while I’m eating breakfast.: )

Dunno about unicorns, but horses can’t throw up; instead they get colic, and when they do, they suffer big-time.

So Marigold might actually be feeling mite jealous of Phoebe for at least being able to puke.

Maybe Dakota is sick too.

Yay, sick days!

Agreed unicorn.

Quick! Somebody get her sick, too! Or at least make her forget a line or two so she can be the object of ridicule!

You have to admire a unicorn who can talk so casually about vomit.

Popularity takes work dedication and the innate talent for brushing off your real friends. I was so unpopular in school. Haha

“A feat even vomit could not accomplish!” is going into my list of phrases to use someday…

TWISTY STRAW

“A feat even vomit could not accomplish!” XD

This is probably my favorite joke of the strip to date.

Also, I did not notice it the first 30 times, but that crazy straw looks like a giant hair.

Panel 3: “Urge to contaminate, rising.”

And hey, the series is even written by a person with the last name, Simpson.
