Transcript:
Phoebe: We have to take a standardized test this week.
Marigold: We do?
Phoebe: No, no, not WE we.
Marigold: You said "weewee"
Phoebe: I totally did.
Marigold: Anyhow, you were saying?
Phoebe: Gimme a sec, Hee hee.
Sometimes, no matter who you are, your funny-bone gets whacked. And when it does how good to have a friend to laugh / giggle / snort / teeheehee with! And yes, as JLG said, childhood, and friendship, in a nutshell.
“Wait. What is…Oh dear, Phoebe, did you just…?”“You made me laugh too hard!”IRONY.
Re The Name Change: I’m never gonna like this considerably more generic title, but it’s not like I have a say, or that it affects my love of the strip. Hopefully, it won’t be a regular issue of contention, like the Great Joel/Mike Wars or Murphy v. Shanks.
It’s funny to me because I would think Heavenly Nostrils would be a much better name for marketing purposes. It stands out a lot more than this generic title and would surely get more attention.

There’s nothing like a little bathroom humor to take the edge off of a standardized test.

When my son was a young teen, he thought the nearby intersection of Cherry Ave and Banana St was the funniest thing he had ever heard.

Title, shmitle…as long as the content remains the same I’m good with it.
Hag5000 over 9 years ago
I think I’ll always like “Heavenly Nostrils” better, but I can live with the new title.
Steveh16 over 9 years ago
I can see the marketing considerations for changing the name but I really like Heavenly Nostrils better too.

A Unicorn by any other name will still sparkle as brightly!!! Besides, the name may change but they can’t make me say it! So there! lol

Sort of sad. Heavenly Nostrils was pretty funny; Phoebe and her Unicorn is plain. :(
