Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 02, 2020

I knew a guy with a pet ghost. It’s not as weird as it sounds.

oh, the connections Marigold has within her social social

Nothing like amping up the pressure on Phoebe, right Marigold?

Another ghost?! Better call Luigi!

Does Marigold actually know a ghost, Phoebe ? With her, you never can tell.

“GHOSTY?!”

That is an ABSURD name for a ghost!

Don’t mention the name of that Scottish ghost. Might get you kilt, Mari!

Given the way a grade school teacher (who probably doesn’t know unicorns) might write a play like this, Phoebe could play the part perfectly and still offend Marigold.

No, Ghosty McGhosterson isn’t real.

He’s based off a real ghost named Ghosty McGhostFace.

So if Phoebe plays the front end of the unicorn, who would play the back end?

Knowing Marigold, I’ll bet she actually knows a Ghostly McGhosterson.

Phoebe makes the assumption that she’s expected to act like an actual unicorn, rather than like the audience’s perception of one.

Side note. Charlie Chaplin once came third in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. Or at least, so goes the legend.
