Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 05, 2022

I heard that the Monty Python guys would run their sketches by a particular secretary at the studio, and only do the ones she didn’t laugh at, because they knew she was always wrong about what was funny.

Yep incidentally I actually have been enjoying the current Strawberry Shortcake cartoon. So by Max’s logic that means the cartoon isn’t good?

Oh I don’t think I’m a lot cooler than you thought that I think that I thought I was once!

Uh, Max? I really don’t think that is how it actually works..

well, at least you were honest, Max… your mothers would be proud of oyu

And his opinion comes through… disguised.

With this line of argument, he might as well prove that black is white. And make zebra crossings dangerous traps.

Max and I have so much in common.

And who are the unicorn and the human in the foreground of Panel 1?

You just beat to a different drum, Max!

This one definitely earned a “Like” from me …

Compliments, please. Now. NOWWWWW.

Being “kewl” is a matter of opinion. No two opinions can always align and peer pressure often shapes how cool something is. That’s how things like fads and fashions work. I believe Max knows this.

If Coolness is in a box, doesn’t that make the BOX cool?

For a human, thinking isn’t cool, that explains a lot.

Bow ties are cool.

Bertrand Russell, call your office.

And Happy Cartoonists Day, Dana!

Phoebe and her Unicorn, meet SAM and HER unicorn!

Phoebe and her Unicorn, meet SAM and HER unicorn!By the way, this has turned from Phoebe’s birthday to Phoebe being cool.

The humans are freely mingling with the unicorns. Does that mean that the Shield of Boringness has been lowered?

As I’ve said before on other strips and possibly here too, my mother taught me, after a friend had been deliberately and untruthfully unkind, that she, my mother, would always tell me the truth because THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS DO, not enabling your every whim.

Hopefully we’ll see Stella and Todd show up at the party.

Well, it SHOULD be cool! (However, from experience it seems most people feel otherwise.)
