Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 14, 2024

Thanks to “EEVILL!” Phoebe can get a candy bar.

What has it been a whole year and a half since we last saw them??.

I remember I called them little Totoros trying to be evil.

or perhaps they are a type of Pokemon?.

I think they look more like the mini Totoros.

They are also shaped kind of like the Minions though.

Truly diabolical.

Money isn’t the root of all evil, it’s love of money that’s the root of all evil.

I suppose there’s little profit to be gained by correcting the misquote offered by these critters. It is the love of money that is a root of all sorts of evil. That’s quite different from the possession or spending of money, which can be either good or evil depending upon the nature of the usage rather than on the existence of wealth.

Also, time is money. So anything that equals time multiplied by money is evil.

“Made you look, you dirty crook, you stole your mother’s pocket book”!

They try so hard. Maybe if they just ease into it. Like putting pineapple on a pizza.

Luci’s bad (at their job) siblings.

EEEEVIL!

Huzzah! I love these guys!

This strip rated 9 on a scale of 10 gigles

Good job, fellas. Who wants ice cream? Oh. Um… Eeeevil ice cream?

They remind me of the fear demon in a Halloween “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. He was making everyone live out their fears – then when he showed up he was three inches tall, not eliciting any fear in anyone.

It’s the Eevil Mint Twins!

It’s adorable how much they try, though.

Next week, they work for the IRS and order a surprise audit!

I believe it is greed that is the root of all evil

An unexpected, yet very welcome reappearance from EVIL! I wonder if they have an alternate set of twins named LIVE.

Actually, it’s the LOVE of money that’s the root of all evil.

Truly, they are agents of Heck!

Whenever I had something tasty my daughter wanted to steal, she’d say, “daddy! Look over there!” I’d look, and it would be gone. It was a magic power she had.

It’s “love of money.”

LOL, they’re so cute! :)

No, it’s the LOVE of money that’s the root of all evil.

eeeeeevil (in a good way)

A better translation of the original Greek is “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” And right before it: “those who decide to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.” (I Timothy 6:9-10) There’s nothing wrong with money itself; it’s just a tool. But determining to get rich no matter what is bound to lead to trouble and sin.

I remember finding a couple of folded up $1 bills once while going to college. It was a rainy day in the middle of classes and they were just lying in the middle of the sidewalk. Clearly they’d fallen out of someone’s pocket, but how no one else noticed them before I did is beyond me.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV)
