Phoebe and Her Unicorn is a daily children's comic strip by American cartoonist Dana Simpson.
Originally called Heavenly Nostrils, the strip debuted as a webcomic on April 22, 2012, in Universal Uclick's GoComics website.
[2] The strip begins when 9-year-old Phoebe Howell skips a rock across a pond and accidentally hits a unicorn in the face.
Through various "spellcraft", she is able to perform such feats as divert or redirect rain and send text messages and broadcast a Wi-Fi hotspot through her horn.
However, her most frequently-used spell is "The Shield of Boringness", which causes humans to view her as nothing out of the ordinary and allows her to interact with them on a daily basis.
[7] Simpson also noted she only had a limited number of Girl strips ready and needed more time to draw out more.
Phoebe and Her Unicorn has been optioned for a possible animated television and/or movie series adaptation twice, first by Amazon Studios in 2017 and later by Nickelodeon in 2020.
