Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 25, 2019

Good old contractual friendships. What they lack in authenticity, the make up for in formality.

is Dakota going to invite Max as well, or will Phoebe invite him unbeknownst to Dakota?

Considering how much Dakota and her friends talk or gossip, how would they even have time to eat?

Dakota: "That’s ’K. What are friends for? Besides exploiting for personal reasons, I mean?

can’t wait to see how this plays out.

Dakota evolved a lot since her first mentioning. – If she had been that way long before, Phoebe and Marigold never’d have met.

Phoebe, stop proving that you’re not cool.

Just kidding. K-12 cool is horribly overrated.

I like the dynamic between them. In the space of two panels Phoebe went from sort of friend to full blown friend.

I’m so happy for Dakota for inviting Phoebe to sit with her.

Yeah, don’t push your luck, Phoebs.

While it’s nice of Dakota to do this, it’s the other friends already at the table that I worry might cause trouble, not seeing Phoebe at “their” level.

Dakota’s looking older.

I sense an ulterior motive. That and whatever that stuff is that Dakota uses to keep her hair under control these days.

Phoebe is basking in the moment.

“You can join us at the Round Table—but you have to sit in the corner.”

“Phoebe Howell: A run-of-the-mill, slightly nerdy, but likeable girl, constantly at odds with the class queen bee Dakota. But after meeting a unicorn, she finds herself seated at Dakota’s table, labeled a sort-of friend. What follows could only happen in . . . the Twilight Sparkle Zone.”

Trying to collect all your friends is as productive as herding cats…

OUR table??? This can’t end well!

T’was me I wouldn’t give her the pleasure of my company!

Didn’t Ozy and Millie do this arc?

Is there ANYthing so sweet as seeing kindness begin to flower?
