Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 21, 2023

So what? The least enchanted lands are technologically advanced?

Trap trains need to blend in.

“But we aren’t in a story book.”

“Don’t get picky.”

Modern trains are least enchanted, makes sense.

Should be interesting what kind of train it is, but we saw it when Marigold got on it!

It won’t be hard to find the train, it left it’s tracks!

Is the comic suddenly being narrated by Llewellyn?

OH MY GOSH, YOU GUYS! AMTRAK IS CANON IN THE PAHU UNIVERSE! HERITAGE UNITS ARE REAL! OH MY GOSH!

Freakazoid! anyone?

It’d be like Aladdin finding the genie in the lamp and releasing him, only for him to make a bunch of pop culture references. You know, if they ever made a movie like that or something.

I’m sorry, but at about that time I think any child would be wondering… WHERE’S THE BATHROOM???

Ooh! Who is the narrator? And can Phoebe and Dakota hear them??

So…Kansas, huh? I’ve been trying to escape for YEARS.

Someone should explain to Dakota and Phoebe that the usual reason for old trains in story books is that they are old stories which were written during the steam age and are now regarded as classics.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

You know, not gonna lie…I had thought the same thing too?

The train was created by one of the see-what-you-expect spells. Marigold was the only one expecting, so she got what she expected.

What was Dakota expecting? The Hogwarts Express ?

Small talk barb free.

Amtrak?! From when we saw it the first time, it definitely looks more like one of those old Soviet diesel or electric locomotives.

The train in Spirited Away was modern, wasn’t it?
