Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 28, 2024

I actually see this as a win for Phoebe.

But can you make people healthy and hydrated, Marigold?

Sorry Mari, but you will never out sparkle the stars of the Milky Way in the night sky ……………… unless it’s cloudy of course.

Marigold is effervescent.

Do her sparkles make you belch, too?

Marigold went full koo-koo in that last panel.

Rest assured, Marigold, the water really doesn’t sparkle!

Unnnicoooornns… (eyeroll)

This is awesome! Thanks, Dana!

I read a post on Reddit that said that sparkling water tastes like TV static. I imagine that if you could, it would.

Unicorns: the only creatures ever to get jealous of inanimate objects.

Eventually Phoebe will have the power to trigger Marigold at will with these things.

People are always rubbing Dr. Pepper in my face. Sorry if blood makes me squeamish, jerk!

Would Phoebe be jealous if she couldn’t find any “Dr. Pepper” to “be a pepper”?

I’m not sure Marigold is winning here.

Now Phoebe knows that in the future, she should refer to it as seltzer.
