Panel 4 is the stuff expressions are made of.

Is Marigold enchanting the asparagus spears to float to her mouth… or make them more tasty? Or both?

It wouldn´t be very believable either – we don´t have a king only a queen :)

I like what is going on in panel 3.

Better yet, the panel 4 Marigold “ignoring this delicate situation.”
[Avoids any Hamlet jokes here]

I think Marigold would have known he wasn’t the kind of Denmark. Why would he be living in suburn America? I don’t know how old Marigold is, but I thjink she’s old enough to know better.

Sorry Phoebe.

It seems that Dad has his own Shield of Boringness.
Birdnose over 11 years ago
That’s usually the reaction when people ask me my job. I say, “I’m a systems administrator” and then they nod quietly and move on to the next person.

Like father like daughter, Phoebe.

Somehow when I read Phoebe’s dad, I hear the voice of Tim Crist aka =sHOeBOx= of Worm Quartet’s voice in my head.

With that hair and the beard, I’d wager Unix systems.

Nice facial expression on Dad in the last panel.

HELL-o! I am liking this. Up to now the parents had been kind of nondescript, but suddenly the dad shows a flash of character, and a bright flash at that.

I get so happy when I see Denmark mentioned in this kind of stuff. None of my friends knew of Denmark before I told them what it was. (I’m danish) I only just found this site.

It’s January 2018 and i just found this lovely comic. At this point I only have love for the way the story is told. Good work.
Just need to state what Denmak is because we allways got forgotten. Denmark is:The oldest kingdom. LEGO. Hans Christian Andersen. Rolex. Maersk. Vikings. The small country in Scandinavian making trouble everywhere.

It would be cool if he administered a flavour of unix called “Phoenix”, and if you don’t think so, you can kiss my dragonlips :P
