- Sunday music February 15, 2015I should wait until tomorrow, because Monday Music is alliterative, but screw that. Love this version of this song. Why can only Norwegian iTunes customers buy it? C’mon, iTunes. I’m a quarter Norwegian ancestrally, and anyway, as an American, I demand everything all the time.Dana Simpson

- The final countdown February 13, 2015By the way, you’re welcome for getting that song stuck in your head. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ahem. Anyhow, my editor says I can tell you this: MARCH 30! That is the date that “Phoebe and Her Unicorn” hits newspapers. (If a paper has only bought the Sunday strips, as some do, the date is April […]Dana Simpson
- Monday music February 2, 2015Longtime observers of me will know that my favorite band of all time is R.E.M. I’ve taken a lot of solace in this song recently.Dana Simpson
- About A Kitty January 31, 2015I feel like saying “my cat died this week” doesn’t capture it. It’s an accurate description, but it seems so sterile and matter-of-fact. A cat I had adored for many happy years was taken from me by lymphoma this week. Seriously, fuck you, cancer. Gladys was old, but she wasn’t that old–exactly 13 1/2, to the […]Dana Simpson

- 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
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…
