Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 01, 2015

I guess unicorns are immortal.

Goodness! It is “a thing your aunt gave you which you don’t know what it is”!

Did that fly over everybody’s heads? Does anyone remember the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” Infocom text adventure from the 80s?

From Saturday Night Live, The Thing that would not Leave.

Would this be a unicorn equivalent of things politicians keep in the closet?

“Why do you have a large invisible thing?” Because it’s easy to draw.

I think we all know of a Crazy Large Invisible Thing Lady. It’s becoming quite a problem, really.

You can never have too many Large Invisible Things. But taking inventory is a real pain.

Ozy has Llewellyn, Marigold has HER,

OK. It seems I have mis-remembered the Thing That Your Aunt Gave You That You Don’t Know What It Is. It came back to me now…;-)http://www.gamesover.com/walkthroughs/hitch.txt

I see.

If it’s an invisible box, most likely a mime is in there.

I’m not sure that it wasn’t a coincidence. Like the journalist Sarah O’Connor reporting an accident where someone was killed by an industrial robot. Dana? Was it an intentional reference?

She did not see the point. Or any of its other parts.
