    I don’t understand what she means about carrying a five – the only meaning I know for that is mathematical and we haven’t seen any reason why she’d be doing maths. Does it mean something else?

    When I first started reading this I was dubious – a strip about a little girl and a unicorn could so easily have turned out to be revoltingly twee. But actually it’s a worthy successor to Calvin and Hobbes, and I’m delighted that Marigold is a “proper” unicorn, with cloven hooves and a lion’s tail and as much antelope as horse. Presumably the males have little heraldic beards.

    Perhaps the Shield of Boringness is one of the few things about unicorns that involve math.

    I wonder how long she had to spend in Unicorn University (UU) to learn the advanced computations that are her Magic… (Next time your kids ask why they have to learn math in school, tell them they can use it to do magic!)

    I was happy with the gold-colored dollar coins, when they were out. I think it’s a mistake that they discontinued them. They should phase out the paper singles.

    Apparently, Unicorns use Mathemagics. Now I want to see HNM cast Leomund’s Tiny Lunchroom or Tenser’s Floating Disco.

    Next time your math teacher tells you to pay attention because you’ll need to use it all your life, believe them!

    I had a feeling the parental units were somehow getting through the SHIELD OF BORINGNESS.

    According to my wife, I live behind the Shield of Annoyance constantly. Perhaps I’m really a unicorn?

    They are still minting dollar coins in the US. Once every three months they mint another president.

    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait… You mean she’s been mind controlling Pheobe the whole time to make her feel things.
