Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 29, 2015
Transcript:
Tomorrow, we launch in newspapers. Over 100 publications. I am told it's officially one of the largest comic strip launches in company history, What this means for the stirp here is, the next few weeks of strips will do some recapping, setting up the story for those just joining us. Inevitably, that'll seem like repetition to fans who've been here from the beginning. Bear with me. Things will be new again in no time. Thank you for being patient during that past few months, with their long stretched of reruns! It was necessary to make the launch as successful as possible (and I'm thrilled with how that went). This is the fulfillment of a dream, for me. Onward! Love and sparkles, Dana Clair Simpson

Sara Stewart Premium Member about 9 years ago
It’s about time! I fell in love with Ozy and Mille, and was terribly sad to see them end. Then I find you on goComics with a new strip that is just as good as Ozy and Millie -almost. (Sorry that I say almost, but Millie is my favorite character of any comic of all time, and that includes Calvin, Hobbes, and Caulfield (from Frazz).) Phoebe and Her Unicorn is going to be a wonderfully huge hit! I’m so happy that you’re going to get the recognition you deserve. I am looking forward to see what lies ahead for Phoebe!! Again, congrats!!!

Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member about 9 years ago
Cool!As one of those thats been here from the beginning, I’ve got to say that your comic is at least as good as anything else I’ve seen in the papers, and probably better than most.And, you don’t have to be a little girl to get it. Its fun on sooo many levels.I suspect that you are going to end up with a broad fan base.

A girl who has a Unicorn deserves to go far. We all couldn’t be happier for you, Dana Claire Simpson. And for us, too! I’m not sure what they say in publishing circles, but from the theater, “break a leg!”

I thought the strip went print when it was renamed. Does this mean no more reprints after the newcomers are brought up to speed? (“‘Phoebe and Her Unicorn’ was not updated today. See previous strip.”)

It is always good to see someone succeed like this. It’s especially wonderful when it is a comic truly worthy of such widespread distribution. Heavenly Nostrils—-excuse me Phoebe and her Unicorn is better than 98% of the drivel out there!!!!

I agree with BRI-NO-MITE. And Dana, your art work is fabulous. While I look forward to new strips, the “reruns” are every bit as enjoyable. Best wishes.
