Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 09, 2013

Hahahaha!! Oh lord, this strip works on SO many levels – it’s like the best of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons…WELL done Ms Simpson!!

In a way I think humans can relate. We people love to compare the size, height or width of things that grew and use artificial enhancements when possible. Be it that episode of Little house when Lora stuffed her shirt or on MASH when Radar put lifts in his shoes people will always compare. Luckily Unicorns can survive lighting strikes.

Yup! They use fake mane and tails on show horses too. Its very embarrassing when a tail falls off in the middle of a show class, as happened at our club show this year.

Now weHe know where the sparkle comes from.It’s static discharge…

Never saw one of those here, and I live in México.

I wonder if that metal acted like an antenna to amplify the magic that emanates from the horn. Could be dangerous! Talk about an excess of sparkles!!!

Mexico? So that’s where the circus clowns buy them.

Maybe that’s how Florence’s mane got all frizzy…lightning.

The acrylic horn extensions can cause permanent horn fungus.

@ Neo StryderThose are the boots used to dance 3ballYeah, I know..

I see.

Those are for stomping la cucuracahas in the corners.

@ ghostkeeper: Hail thee, Good Sir! These be sollerets! (Yea verily I would’st dislike to be kicked by some knave who wert wearing such covering of foot!)

(Rememberest thou, Wikipedia art a reasonably good reference source.)

“Now, THERE’S something you don’t see very day, Chauncey.”“What’s that, Edgar?”“Two FEMALES arguing over ‘whose is longer’.”

Even without a two-foot metal horn extension, Marigold can both transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, as evidenced by her ability to text back and forth with Phoebe on her phone. I can see a scene (perhaps with Max) where he can’t understand how Phoebe is apparently flying an R/C (Radio-Controlled) sailplane with no transmitter box in sight, but she can only do it when Marigold is around…
