Transcript:
Marigold: Before we get to the party I ought to brief you on unicorn party etiquette. Always look a unicorn in the eye. Try not to stand in a unicorn's blind spot. And most importantly... EAT WITH YOUR FACE. Phoebe: What? Marigold: Eat with your face! Phoebe: Why? Marigold: Unicorns do not have hands. You will be seen as showing off. Phoebe: What will you do if I accidentally remember some table manners? Marigold: Who IS this strange finger-beast I definitely did not bring?!
Last panel funniest thing I have read all WEEK. Also my imagination way over colored every thing when all we had was B&W. Also I’m learning a lot about Unicorns. Nose picking is a vital thing to remind Pheebs of as she seems to do it a lot to every one not just her self but look a unicorn in the ear and don’t stand in the blind spot never saw those coming. Where is the blind spot any how? and eat with your face, don’t show off your hands great stuff. But that also forbids shaking hands, scratching your self, waving, reaching…Also now Pheebs won’t be able to remember good manners at her next human party. Also watch her starve as all the food will be grass. Unless the party has Apples. If so I hope Silver Apples. Wounder what games they play? a game of human sneakers? Pin the leg on the human? or maybe the whole thing is a trap? If it is a trap would we then be elevating Dakota to super villain and some how explaining how she got to magic world? or will Marigold have a yet unrelieved long time rival who wants to defeat her epically? and who would the rival be? A Pegasus to follow the horse theme? some thing with a humanoid form so it can decadently look like some one we know already? Or maybe some one very small so it’ll be real funny that such a small thing is actually a threat? or maybe its Marigold’s own flesh and blood family calling her home so she has to stay in the magical world and be responsible and she’ll be ordered to give up Phoebe? Or Phoebe will end up as a pet maybe? You know if having hands means showing off how do Unicorns feel about all the human like magical? the Elves, Leprechauns, Menfolk,miniatures, cyclopes etc? I wounder would they not even be in this world or are mermaids , nymphs, etc as strange and pink and rude about hands as humans are? And what if some one traps the unicorns in a cage? and the cage has a lock and the only way to open the lock is to have thumbs? Phoebe could be the hero of the day! Or maybe the Trap is for Phoebe. They Know Marigold travels with her and some one wants to keep her in a zoo and force her to count on her fingers and play the trumpet and dial phones and make shadow puppets and she’ll be forced to perform in public “here is the church , here is the steeple, open the doors and see all the people” and sing “insy wince spider” The Horrors of a hand zoo!
