It all started when Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and using it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection?

Why did I just read that text Balloon in a Woody Allen voice?
Also how can you prove that Lord is not either a unicorn child or a talking land Narwhal? Maybe he’s a midget. I hope he’s laying down and not standing.
Either way I think He’s beneath Marigold.
Also It IS a very lovely shrubbery. I like the Laurels particularly.

I did the Woody Allen thing too. Then I read your comment and almost spit coffee all over my keyboard. Good morning!

I don’t know who woody allen sounds like. I just pictured a light bass voice.

Unless that’s a painted carrot stuck in a bush .. .and Lord Splendid Humility is a ventriloquist.

When he emerges, he will be either the most stunning beast in all of Nature’s (Magic’s) creation or he’ll be 2’ high with a 2’ corn. I’m sure Dana will still surprise us with her creativity tho… No pressure! ;)

It would be cool if Humility just turned out to be a shrub/unicorn mutant.

Um…..can you actually picture a voice?

In my head, LSH’s voice is sounding a lot like Commander Data of Star Trek.

I read it as Allen Rickman.

The Ant from Antz. He cameoed on the Simpsins claiming it was the only movie kids would know him from.

Well, I got the Allen part right. I could also read him as Peter Lori.

I don’t think we will ever get to see more than his horn. He seems to have a camoflage sheild, a variation on Marigold’s sheild of borringness. The type of camo will probably vary a lot depending on context. That should make for a lot of comic opportunities.

He cannot be beneath Marigold. It is not anatomically possible for the mare to be on top.

It will be so much more fun if he is always hidden or camoflaged in some way. Any time Marigold and Phoebe go for a ride a voice and horn will emerge from some new comical location.
