Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 31, 2021

“But are YOU a delicious drink? I think not! So nyah!”

Slow down, Marigold. Save that energy for being insecure about the fireworks.

Not that kind of sparkling, unicorn. (Why not call it carbonated apple juice in order to save the trouble from this kind of dilemma?)

I really like Phoebe, but too often Marigold repels me with her egocentricity. So much for the attractiveness of Unicorns, or at least this one.

No matter how pretty she is, she has an ugly attitude.

But can you pop and froth?

Wrong kind of sparkle, Marigold!

Love to see Marigold being so competitive.

Marigold’s tendency to out-sparkle other sparkling things reminds me of the strange reactions that dogs or cats have to certain things.

I haven’t commented on this strip in a long, long time. Also, Marigold is far sparklier than the juice. ✨

Are we a little bit jealous?

Look at it this way, Marigold — people won’t try to sell you for $2.50 in a crowded store!
