Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 07, 2014

Her teeth look very straight for someone who just got braces last week.

Only if you need them, Phoebe.

…shiny!

Please post something new at Nostrilsketches.

I can’t wait ‘til Phoebe get’s home.“Dad, can I have $10,000.00 for braces?”

Sure, you want braces now, but I’ve never met a person who’s had them and actually still liked them by the time they could take them off.

nice to find a positive spin on braces. I never liked cartoons depicting them negatively.

It’s nice to see Phoebe with a friend she likes who actually likes her back (I guess that’s redundant with “friend”) and it’s also nice to see Marigold still communing with HER friend…the lake monster whose name I have suddenly forgotten. Is it Rodney??

Wow!

I never had braces myself, but I do think they’re kind of cool looking.

I had rubber bands on my braces way back when. I also had to wear head gear while I slept.

I am so glad the Internet and cell phones with cameras didn’t exist then. My sister would have OWNED me.

I still have bands of scar tissue in my mouth from bands and braces worn 35 years ago. Trust me, Pheobe, you don’t want them.

I didn’t realize I’d missed yesterday’s HN until I didn’t see it on today’s group of my comics & typed it in to have it up for a refresh check until it shows up. Then I noticed this was one I didn’t read yesterday. So what’s up with Dana this week that’s causing the strip to be late again?

All the better to eat you with, my dear.
