Ozy and Millie
Wisdom for short attention spans.
Over at my home station:

- I won something! July 8, 2018It had been a little while since I actually won an award, though I’ve been nominated a few times. This time, kids did the voting! Phoebe was voted “Bravest Hero” (For The Magic Storm) at the Kids’ Comics Awards, at the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival. (Which, by the way, I should attend some time. […]Dana Simpson

- I am interviewed by children December 1, 2017One child, anyway. A little girl named Katy, in Massachussetts. She wrote a letter to her local paper, the Daily Hampshire Gazette, asking them to please pick up ‘Phoebe and Her Unicorn.’ Not only did they, but they let her ask me some interview questions. And she really nailed it. Read about it here! […]Dana Simpson

- The gay unicorn agenda July 26, 2017Did you catch the reveal of Max’s parents in this week’s strips? I’ve actually known all along that Max has lesbian parents.

- School Library Journal June 28, 2017SLJ’s Brigid Alverson interviewed me for a great article about LGBTQ representation in comics. I’m quoted in the article, but I said a lot more, and apparently it was interesting enough that she also published the whole interview. Read more →Dana Simpson
Like all great quests,it starts with killing a helpless animal.
Isn’t Ozy in the bathroom?
That’s the challenge.
Uh, wait. Am I the only one wondering why Llewellyn has a baseball bat in his cupboards?
Considering that he has a vortex in his couch, a baseball bat in the cupboard is comparatively unremarkable.
Well, it would simply be crass to keep a baseball bat in ones silverware drawer.
That’s nothing, you should see where he stores his peanut butter.
But Darryl Worley sang “Have You Forgotten?”!
Given Dana’s stated political views, possibly that was the point.
“Have You Forgotten?”– a song that said that anyone who wasn’t with Bush on the invasion of Iraq either didn’t remember 9/11 or didn’t care.
Oh yeah, I call that evil…last year, while I was camping in the Cascades some redneck moron subjected an entire campsite to full crank rendition of it.
That appears to be an authentic “BAT” brand bat. Llewellyn knows quality when he sees it!
