Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 06, 2023

Unwanted unless you’re an introvert like I sorta am.

who wouldn’t not want invisibility?

It’s the kind of unwanted superpower that only fails when you need it to work.

He was so invisible we didn’t see him either, until yesterday.

That’s one good trick to learn for LSH! I can see an interesting new friendship in the future… Does someone remember if those ever get to meet?

Cue the song “Mr. Celophane”

Max is ready for the Mystery Men.

I feel you, Max.

Might be a good thing someday, Max!

Would be the most useful superpower to have, when someone is searching to dump some chores on you!

I could see that being a particularly useful superpower..

Oh boy, I can relate, Max. I’m inadvertently startling my coworkers all the time because they don’t see or notice me coming. It’s actually somewhat frustrating because I never intended to do it or wanted to, and so I always feel a little bad when it happens.

Reminds me of the Spider-Girl supporting character, Meagyn Brady. Everyone was constantly failing to notice her, which might or might not have been some sort of low-level invisibility power.

Unwanted? Poor, poor Max.

Did Dana forget to draw Max in this strip or something? I can’t see him.

Max has a Shield of Boringness!

Unwanted? Max has made is pretty clear that he’d rather be left alone to his own devices in most cases.

It’s a gift…and a curse.

Hope he doesn’t go the way of Wallflower Blush from “Forgotten Friendship.”

The bushes were all full of frog and unicorn

Social invisibility, I had that at his age.

You don’t see me standing here. I’m standing her aloooooooone.
