Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 05, 2021

Would a nice snuggle cheer you up, Marigold?

No, what’s sad is when humans claim to have done research, but get all defensive when you ask them to cite their sources.

How else could Phoebe have helped?

Some humans make me MAD, Marigold!!

I guess Google is a little better than second hand info from an uncle’s barber or the like!

Amazingly topical strip this AM, after the international Facebook outage Monday. Probably unintentional, but we can take a cue from Marigold and just quit Facebook and Instagram while the withdrawal pains won’t be too hard to bear. If you wonder what I’m talking about, check out the 60 minutes show last weekend. Full disclosure – I’ve never had an active Facebook or Instagram account and don’t miss it at all. If you only see what you “like” you can never grow.

Marigold, give her a chance!

Yeah, they do tend to suck. Robots are where it’s at.

To me they just frustrate me… al the time.

I did my research. I KnO NuFffiNK!

Having seen how some campaigns have gone. I think Phoebe googleing one buzzword makes her more than qualified.

Well, it’s still arguably the start of some research, so I’ll give Phoebe that much…otherwise, I’m inclined to agree with Marigold.

Humanity on average has gotten pathetically lazy about researching really any subject, despite having all these convenient tools around them nearly 24/7 that should be making it very easy. I mean, go figure, right?

Humanity is becoming more lazy and dumbed-down thanks to overdependence on, and addiction to, social media and stupidphones. There are too many people whose lives revolve around this ridiculous electronic gadget. Some can’t perform simple tasks without implementing some silly “phone app.”

The downfall of our civilization is on the horizon.

As someone who is working on a Ph.D. dissertation – my understanding of what research is has changed a good deal.

What? You mean the Internet is not always reliable and/or factual in researching??

Unless you submit a bibliography at least 2 pages long, you didn’t do research.
