Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 16, 2019

What parent calls their children “kid”?

What other nationality would the horn be?

How does she work the valves?

Marigold can’t fix it with her magic?

I have so many questions.

That would be more Millie’s style.

Mari can’t help being a little ambiguous with her texts… what’s life without a little leg-pulling?

But then, haven’t we all?

I suppose that would add to the challenge…

I have a friend who plays that horn, and he corrected me when I called it a french horn. It’s actually just called a horn. Who knew? ;)

I actually saw a unicorn playing a french horn on a trampoline. The new medication is helping though…

Where was the orchestra? The general definition of a concerto is that it involves at least one solo instrument accompanied by an orchestra. If it was just Marigold, she could practice for a concerto but couldn’t play it.

Each and every day I find myself in awe of your imagination, Ms. Simpson. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Why does Marigold play the French horn while on a trampoline? Because Tubas are too heavy.

Better be careful. You don’t know how Gocomics feels about horn-y jokes. Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXILNncQwH4

It is a Horn in F sometimes misnamed French horn. It is a horn but it’s not from France.

If I had played a horn concerto… or even just scales… while jumping on a trampoline, it would be teeth that were broken.

How would Marigold have sent a text with a broken horn anyway?

“What’s the rush, kid?” “MARIGOLD BROKE HER HORN OMG!! SHE’S HURT!!” “Oh, okay. Be careful crossing the street.”
