Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 26, 2020

Not to mention it’s much cooler and comforting. It is getting warmer by the way.

well, that was comforting

All I can say is awwww! And I want my own dark and rainy cave to mope in.

I’m a claustrophile of sorts. Remember blanket forts? I also loved being under the bed. But “rainy” doesn’t sound very good.

Now that is a true friend. :)

Now make a big, dark rainy day for this sad, sad world.

I love the subtle change between the fifth and sixth panels, with the circle becoming a heart.

Love is a warm unicorn!

I wouldn’t mind that myself once in a while – except for the rain! :D

Very sweet.

Using this to teach empathy! Lovely.

The world is in a sad, scary place right now, mostly because humans made it that way. Hopefully, we learn to be and do better, so this will be the last pandemic we have.

“Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cured. But still, you find reasons to keep living.”

Thank you, Dana. I really needed this today!

Marigold is such a great friend ♡.

Wish I had that option as I’m sure plenty of others do too

This is all too relatable in this day and age.

That sums up perfectly why this is my favorite strip.

I love Marigold’s expression in the last panel. She really does care about Phoebe.

Luckily, Marigold isn’t one of those annoying characters who is always talking about her youth. In this case, being a unicorn, she might very likely start out something like, “During the Black Plague years……”

I want my own unicorn

At least no one’s giving her a hard time for being outdoors.

Fake news! Everything is great, never been better! That is a nasty, nasty statement! /s

Sometimes Marigold absolutely surprises me by breaking out of her “me, me, me” shell and showing what a wonderful, empathetic, unicorn she is inside.

Love the heart-shaped small dark rainy universe in the last panel.

Oh Dana! into the void again? Your nightmares must be hard upon you. Keep that tiny flicker of comradeship locked in view lest ye end up sobbing like Clemens just before Twain annihilated his personality completely, or Darwin complaining about the pointlessness of music in the same breath he confesses that he used to love it. Concentrating on the small lights makes it easier to perceive the great ones. – Bastian Balthazar Bux

I would like this 100 times if I could. It’s all in your perspective.

Awwwww

Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to ban or report somebody? Thanks! ❤

:D

The sound of rain pattering on the window is one of the most calming sounds in the world.

MOPE UNIVERSE!!! I wish i had one

The last panel needs to be on a pillow pronto!
