Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 01, 2020

I thought Laurel was a perfectly normal name among unicorns. Even if it’s said with that weird accent that makes it sound like “Loorel”.

I can tell Marigold is going to give this play two hooves down.

It could’ve been worse Mari – Loony the Unicorn?

If Marigold thinks the name is bad, just wait until she reads the script.

Marigold obviously never heard of the TV cartoon “Dungeons & Dragons.”

Marigold has the reaction humans get when they see Song of the South or Dumbo or one of those War Propaganda cartoons.

So the next collection of the strip, “Camping With Unicorns” according to the Amazong page is due on the 7th. Has it been or still in the process of being published?

Yoony must be a Korean unicorn.

Could have been Corny, of course.

Wait. Marigold used to call Phoebe like that?

She’s not wrong.

I suppose Mari’s not going to be able to appreciate The Fantastic Adventures of Unico, then.

What about Gir the Girl??

wait no

I remember the time when Archie Comics was still putting out a Sonic the Hedgehog comic and they introduced a character named Tommy the Turtle. They caught a lot of fan grief for that name but never backed down. Which may help explain why the comic is now being published by IDW.

There’s some near-alliteration in the Norwegian translation of the strip. It’s called “Anjas enhjørning”. Making Phoebe’s name Anja. I almost wondered if this strip was a subtle jab at that.
