Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 16, 2021

OMG Phoebe got a syndicated strip when she was only a child!

I don’t know. It’s pretty close to the Marvel Method isn’t it?:-D

So she started by drawing herself smiling, then frowning, then shrugging, and didn’t come up with the words until after that? It sure is convenient that she had something fitting.

So far, so good.

Plot: It’s not JUST where you bury Grandma.

Phoebe could inspire in John Lennon’s The Daily Howl

off to a fine start after just hitting the rut in the road

I would love to hear every one’s story for finishing “One day she…” for some reason the 1st thing that popped in my head was “Exploded” "One day she exploded. Then she exploded again. Then she was gone. The end. " I don’t know why my brain went there but it did and now she did. So who can do better?

This is getting a bit meta.

“One day she….

…was trying to make an autobiography-comic strip of herself, and did make progress despite distractions by her egotistical Uni-BFF. Phoebe drew up some nice artwork for it, but then in a sudden moment of realization came to a complete stop in her tracks, stared at the paper for several seconds, then…"

Not exactly off to a galloping start, eh Phoebe? :D

Heh, that never stopped [REDACTED].

I like Phoebe’s ambition.

Still a better comic than Dilbert.

That is good advice, yes.

When I was in Junior High. I created 2 characters called “Patch & Sue,” drew them over and over…and then realized that I had no idea what to do with them.

moral of story: think of ur story before you write it. otherwise ur just wasting paper

Hello,I just finished a 3-day binge on your comic, after having seen a few of your books at the library. So thank you for giving us free comics – YEA! I haven’t smiled this much in a long time.

That is my problem too

That’s one way of doing it….

Phoebe, you ought to draw your cute little nose. You don’t want to follow in Cathy’s footsteps.

Well, since its an autobiographical comic, it would start with her hitting Marigold with a rock. What I would do is for the second panel, leave it as it is. For the third panel put “…Hit something with a rock” For the fourth panel, I would put “She didn’t know what it was”

This is how an uncomfortably large number of webcomics starts

Oof.
