Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 21, 2024

Some dialogicans try to flex by making arcrostics.

Optionally, you could say each paragraph in the sixth panel counts as a separate line, and add an extra OO.

I is for misspelled eyes.

Now try “Heavenly” and “Nostrils”.

A “B” for effort. “A” for delivery.

Marvelous start, A good first half. Rounding the middle part, It starts to collapse, Greatly. On the later part, it really doesn’t Land, it kind of just Dies.
