Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 30, 2022

Welp! Now we know.

“Is that going to be your story, Marigold?”

“I am working on a better one.”

Oh yeah. I remember a few years ago, a wood nymph waited too long to do something about that, and ended up getting credit for the invention of hats.

so, how do we fix this dilemma, Marigold?

At least you can definitely blame Marigold for this.

The I Done That Zone? The Marigold Enhanced Magical Energy Modifying Everything Field, or ME ME ME Field for short.

Well, turns out I was wrong yesterday, it’s got nothing to do with Shield of Boringness.

Great idea, Marigold, give it a pithier name!

Marigold is apparently as good as Phoebe at coming up with titles.

How ’bout you activate the Magical Field of Getting Paid For Keeping it Real? Then Phoebe could make bank by telling Dakota what she really thinks of her – a swell girl.

Now that we found the problem how do we fix it?

Sounds really annoying.

Drink more lemonade, dear, and things will get pithier.

Yeah, I figured it was something like that.

Take pit(h)y on poor Phoebe.

It is if you lisp.

“Well all I hear all day long at school is how great Marigold is at this or how wonderful Marigold did that, Marigold, Marigold, Marigold !”

Phoebe knows the word “pithy” at her age. She has such good parents. (Also GoComics needs to implement a short edit window for comments. Maybe delay visibility of the comment during that window just in case.)

Unicorn Balloon – Final Day

Today is the final day for my beautiful lavender unicorn balloon. She remained beautiful to the end. today I decided that she is a Junicorn, having existed for 20 days which is a magnificent age for a balloon. She was beginning to wilt (continued)

Time for Phoebe to do some crimes.

Ah yes, just what I … PHOEBE, watch your mouth! What? Oh, PITHIER, as in, a more pithy statement, one that says as much or more with fewer words.
