Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 18, 2019

Whenever I get depressed I visit my horse. Instant happiness. Its Magic!!

and no side effects.

Reminds me of the drug commercials where the side effects are all the things you’re taking the drug to prevent … and possibly death.

Don’t forget the possibility of becoming the Joker!

Let’s Be Dangerous!

Let’s get dangerous!

Even when happy I don’t smile. I have no friends. If I explode people will remember me. Sign me up.

Well, considering one of them is possibly exploding, I think I can understand why…

Pinkie Pie’s exploded before, right?

Be even more thorough. Give specifics. I would want to be warned if this turned out to be a spell of, say, constant inescapable magic tickling.

Be careful what you wish for…

And the man asked the Leprechaun to make him the happiest man in the world; The tiny figure agreed. From then on the man was known as the village idiot…

Bear in mind that the rules of physics apply even to magical spells. In particular, they require that any pleasure you get from the spell, will (eventually) have to be balanced by an equal but opposite problem.

I’ve read this strip long enough to know that “there are…” (panel change) MAGICAL SOLUTIONS" is always a warning which Phoebe never heeds. Other side effects may include mockery and unwanted notoriety from Dakota, and bewildered stares and quiet retreats from Max.
