Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 23, 2021

Panel 1: You could just go for a daily comic strip. Insane I know.

Ooh! do it involve rainbows?

Phoebe and Marigold bicker with one another in their own lives and in their fictional lives. Wow.

Can we handle this “Sequel”?

It’s quite avant-garde, refusing to rely on the tyranny of traditional plot structures, with the all too familiar uses of devices like conflict.

Juicy things, like one hundred pages of Marigold standing around giving off sparkles.

That’s fanservice.

Nice collaboration.

So true.

I bet these past few strips were surprisingly easy to draw.

why is phoebe drawn so sloppy.

The comic is a comic… Where’s that Inception sound when you need it?

Fit for Mister Kitty’s Stupid Comics.

I used to read a bunch of Sci-Fi and would come up with some great ideas … but no stories. Sigh – had to get a REAL job. Still there, and still dreaming …

What if Phoebe and Marigold’s comic is about them making a comic? Then it’d be a comic about making a comic about making a comic…

The story is really ‘deep’ – it’s a fictional story about a fictional story with fictional characters doing fictional things; can’t get much deeper than that…

Be sure to save them in a notebook. Though I did many I still remember and adapt for other stories..

Harlan Ellison used to explain that there’s an idea-of-the-month service in Poughkeepsie; subscribe, and they’d send you a regular idea package.
