Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 19, 2023

This could take a while then.

A goblin is more likely to put someone else’s shoes in themselves.

A lot of us picture Dakota talking like a stereotypical valley girl, but I wonder if Dakota’s blarts would still have a valley girl inflection to them even in her goblin form.

Well, the marigold idea makes sense, although he could have warned first!

Dakota in her goblin form is dressed in a similar fashion to her former friend the Queen of Goblins.

So….Unicorn transfiguration powers don’t include changing the hair too… interesting…

I’m just gonna say it: Phoebe is pulling off the goblin look better than Dakota.

Digest as in ‘eat’? Well, its hardly deathless prose then, is it?

So, may I take it that it was ultimately sold to Hollywood and was turned into the script for that immortal classic, PAUL BLAAART, MALL COP?

(ducking and running)

Don’t use the word ‘digest’ Marigold. Now they’ll take it literally and eat the novel to get it over with, further offending the dedicated author.

Dakota, less complaining and more reading!

Phoebe: I get to keep my tail right?

Well…I am told a great deal is lost in translation. Marigold saved them from that terrible fate.

I find it hard to believe Dakota didn’t wear socks in her boots. This must be part of the spell.

Since it’s only temporary, they had better get blarted!

“Step on their toes! Step on their toes!”

It is delightful how they retain just the right amount of cues for us to recognize them after the transformation.
