Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 09, 2021

Can we refer to her as Pillsbury Doughgirl from now on?

It wasn’t ALWAYS useless. At one time in her life it was precious.

Talk about pushing someone’s buttons.

Terribly useful at first though.

Is knowing that Phoebe has an “innie” TMI?

oh, won’t this be fun

At least it’s more dignified than having a button on butt.

Opps! A violation of the tv standards. Barbara Eden’s costume was designed to keep from showing her navel because of them.

Well, phoebe shouldn’t even be classified as a human anymore after the various things that marigold did to her…

Just wait a few more years, Phoebe. Most teenagers know perfectly how to do this with no unicorn help. Concerning their parents, at least.

Panel 1: Not with that attitude Phoebe.:-D

well this could be interesting and I can see lots of fun ideas for how to use it. I can imagine it easily backfiring too. Like you miss out on a safety warning or an invite or a compliment or you agree to some thing weird with out knowing.

Just be careful the lint does not interfere with your new button muter!

You mean Phoebe had a Useless Button?!? Is that anything like the Pointless Button? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyhOBrBXtMA

There are worse places the mute button could’ve been… like her eyeball.

It is not useless. It is a perfect lint collector.

All right, points for creativity. :P

As Calvin once said, “My life needs a rewind-erase button”, while Hobbes countered with “And a volume control”.

Now, whenever someone presses you for an answer, Phoebe…shut them up!

At one time, depicting navels in a comic strip was controversial. This happened to Mort Walker when drawing Beetle Bailey:

“Every time I showed a girl in a bathing suit, I put in a navel,” he said. “They’d take it out. I’d put in another one. They’d take it out. I heard that the editor had started collecting my navels. He’d cut them out with a razor blade and put them in a small container labeled ‘Beetle Bailey’s Belly Button Box.’" To get even, Walker once drew Camp Swampy receiving a shipment of navel oranges, all of which had a mascot on the box with a bare midriff. The oranges each had a navel, as well. Overwhelmed, the editor left it alone.

Prepare for the ongoing hilarity…!

If a mute button could change things, I’d have one installed today. It couldn’t do that, I know. I would rather hear that train horn blow before the train runs me over anyway…..

Best gift ever!

I’m pushing them from now on. Worth the shot.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first human navel we’ve seen in PaHU. Didn’t Dakota wear a two-piece swimsuit?

Technically what you have is a scar from you umbilicus. Her navel finally revealed to the world!

another pointless off topic post, it’s 9-9, AND its 9-9 (aka solar moon) on the mayan (“dreamspell”) calendar.

please thank you for to have enjoyment of my offtopicnessness

Now that’s cool! A Mute Button (in your belly button) to mute everybody else!

. . .

What I’d REALLY like is a Volume Control Button!
