Transcript:
Dakota: I'm a lollipopless ladybug... I've lost my lolly like a LUG. Would you give a lolly FREE... to such a bouncy bug as MEEE? Choke on that, unicorn girl. Phoebe: On what, the scenery?
There are at least seven unrelated English words that have ended up being spelt “l u g”. This does not appear to be any of them.
But it looks as though I’m right about the play. There’s a scene of exposition, then an interminable succession of two-scenes between Lisa Ladybug and another character (in each of which Lisa recites this speech or a close variant and the other character makes a negative reply), and then the last scene offers a resolution, and a Moliére-like re-entry of all the characters, unless each new character has tagged along with Lisa, like the Henny-Penny gang. Either way, it all ends in a final chorus, ending with a couplet that shamelessly begs for applause while setting up a company bow.
Well, at least that’s how it’s supposed to work. You know—/without/ a unicorn.
You have to admit DAK has the rubber face you have to have for emoting to the back of the auditorium..You have to be sincere; once you can fake that the rest is in the bag. – Burns
New favorite strip? New favorite strip. On a more serious note, I can draw parallels between Nostrils and Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
You know what else I like? Dakota calling Phoebe “unicorn Girl” that’s a LOT better then “Princess stupid but” @isaiahammar we had long strips with out Marigold before but I’m not reading back to count.

Nah, you’re already too full of saccharine.

How is Dakota’s acting any more hammy than what Phoebe was doing a couple of strips back when she was all dramatic?
