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

So why not give them the potatoes? Why force them on a Phoebe that doesn’t want them?

We say "Poh-tah-doh, he says a number of things.

and one must not kill the messenger I might add, Ethan

Can’t just say “Kids starving in other countries…” anymore? No needs to leave this universe.

I guess not, now that we have so many homeless in the same hungry situation right here in the USA these days….

Let’s just hope there’s no Crisis or serious retcons on those Infinite Earths. Otherwise nothing will be the same again.

Of course, there are also an infinite number of universes where potatoes are a deadly poison, so there’s that.

“So why can’t we send them over?”

In another universe a little unicorn filly says "No! I don’t want to eat my spinach!!

Most Potatoes are poisonous. It took the Native American’s a long time to selectively breed edible ones.

I would like to think that somewhere in the multiverse there exists a version of me that is happy.

What about the starving kids in Poland/China/Guatemala etc?

Hey, give him props for trying to shake things up a little at least.

Mashed, they fuel the power needs of a dozen parallel worlds. Well, other then the traumatized, glowing one. But to be fair, that was because they left the skins in.

Michael Moorcock first used the term “multiverse”. The next time I’m at one of his book signings I need to remember to ask him why he didn’t trade mark it.

This looks like a lead-in for a new series:

Potatoes Across the Fifth Dimension!!!

In more than a few infinite universes, Phoebe is lecturing her father to eat HIS potatoes! (By the way, not even infinity is big enough for more than one modest unicorn, so Lord Splendid Humility is unique!)

…making kids clean off their plates is supposed to contribute to weight problems later in life…

I’m surprised she doesn’t care for the potatoes. I’ve always loved potatoes. I would always take seconds on those.

Just remember, the family of plants that potatoes are in also includes jimson (loco weed), mandrake, deadly nightshade (belladona), and tobacco.

In some of the universes, you ARE the one who created the multiverse.

Doesn’t sound like the universal truth.

Phoebe’s dad seems to have a lot more personality than her mom.

Additionally while Phoebe, Marigold or even Dakota have their share of disagreements, I bet they all agree that their world deserves the designation of Earth-1.

Several snarky comments about ‘starving children in America’ come to mind, but I guess I’ll keep them to myself…
