Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 27, 2021

Why do people complain that something is so last season or whatever??? Sounds to me like people are basically wasting money on stuff that won’t last. At least in their eyes anyways.

Is the color system the same? Does blue still mean it’s a reminder of a bill you have to pay? Or, no… that’s not what it meant. I think that color is just junk mail.

Okay, it’s a cool shape, but what is the message? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

I top out with dodecahedrons. Phoebe and Marigold just impressed me.

I built a model geodesic dome one time. It was an icosahedron alternate.

“Next week it’s dodecahedrons! My favorite! I can’t wait.”

And you’ve just rolled a “1,” Marigold, fumbling your saving throw! The unicorn hunters leap out of concealment! They’ve got you surrounded!

Luckily, they’re Unicorn Hunters from Lake Superior State University, and only want to take photographs….

Marigold is very trendy I see!

Couple of new words to learn today!

Always twenty sides to every argument…

“Complex Polyhedron”? I think you mean platonic solid.

The equivalent of hashtags for those messages are insane. Literally, if you don’t have unicorn eyes, you go insane. It’s like Cthulhu.

Hopefully last week’s arc is just marinating a bit and we’ll go back to it eventually. For now though, time to see what’s so important in the unicorn world that they had to send an icosahedron

I have a message icosahedron. It’s inside my magic 8-ball, and says things like “ask again later”.

Except an icosahedron is a simple polyhedron. It’s one of the five regular polyhedrons where every side is the same, vertex is the same, and edge is the same.

Thanks, Phoebe, for not making me look up “icosahedron”!

That Marigold. Such a hedronist.

Thanks a lot, now I can’t help but think about the Dodecahedron from “The Phantom Tollbooth”.

Well, I just learned something!

Polyhedrons are to die for! (Just roll with it…)

Hopefully it doesn’t dissipate, then we can use it as a D20 later.

If it’s a complex polyhedron, wouldn’t it be a rhombicosidodecahedron or some other such Archmedean monstrosity??

What’s next, a 100-sided shape?

Roll for Initiative!

And what’s the message?

I’m surprised that, having a friend that plays D&D, Phoebe had to look up what is an icosahedron, instead of recognizing that’s a d20 dice.
