- Making introductions January 17, 2015The introduction to Phoebe and Her Unicorn was written by the great Peter S. Beagle. The introduction to the forthcoming Unicorn on a Roll was written by the equally great Lauren Faust. When we first started working on the original book, I remarked to people that my two dream choices for the task, in the […]Dana Simpson

- Okay, I can FINALLY talk about this! December 21, 2014Newspaper launch. Heavenly Nostrils. Spring 2015. Whew! I’ve been sitting on that information for months. Every time I’ve had to take time off from the daily strip to work on that, I’ve had to just say I was working on “something big.” Well, this has been it. There’s more work involved with preparing a launch […]Dana Simpson
- They like me in New York December 20, 2014They like me at the New York Public Library, at least, which has declared Phoebe and Her Unicorn one of the best children’s books of 2014!Dana Simpson
- Book stuff November 29, 2014Firstly, I’ll be at The Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle, tomorrow, from 1 to 2 p.m., appearing with some other authors and promoting books we like. I’ll be signing my own book and also sharing the work of my friend, the remarkable Richard Roberts. The occasion is Indies First Day. And to whoever casually placed […]Dana Simpson
- This one was a turning point November 27, 2014Regarding the storyline I’m rerunning on gocomics this week–which begins here… It’s originally from two years ago, from the first November of the strip (which will be three years old in April…my how time flies). I think it was kind of a turning point in Marigold and Phoebe’s friendship, and helped me define their relationship. […]Dana Simpson
- Peter S. Beagle ‘n me November 25, 2014I have this poster for the movie “The Last Unicorn” in my living room. I think it’s a cheap reprint or something. In like 2009, I wanted to redecorate our apartment, and I thought it would be cool to have some posters from animated movies I loved as a kid. (I also bought posters for […]Dana Simpson
- The Last Unicorn Tour! November 1, 2014The Last Unicorn Tour is coming to the Pacific Northwest, and I’ll be making some appearances there with my friend Peter S. Beagle! I’ll be at the Portland shows this weekend, and the Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia shows in a week. Check the web site for times and places See you there!Dana Simpson
- Promotional video for the book! October 25, 2014Check it out. They asked me if I had any animation we could use. I wish I did, but I don’t! I even explored the idea, but an animator I know (hi, Raven) successfully convinced me it would be a lot more work and a lot steeper learning curve than I was going to want […]Dana Simpson
Yay! Raine’s back! Thank you, Dana!
Too many compliments too liltte space, thanks!
I’m glad to see this comic up again. I think the first attempt was a bit convoluted but the premise is so fascinating. I’m glad to see you trying it again, and with such an improvement in the art. Keep it up!
(Version 1) What is the point of the comic? Who is Raine supposed to be, and how and why does she morph from a regular non-anthropomorphic dog to an anthropomorphic one? What is the point of the taboo relationship between Jeff and Raine? What is the story with the other animal characters? The whole scenario becomes more nonsensical as it progresses and the author presumably realized this and decided to do a rewrite.
Still waiting, guess the comic is dead.
it will probably stay dead for a while too… I imagine Dana is probably pretty busy with her syndicated strip these days. www(DOT)gocomics(DOT)com(SLASH)heavenly-nostrils
edited to get past the filter… hopefully it’s obvious what you need to do here…
