Oh, were we supposed to write #introduction posts? I didnβt know that.
Okay! Iβm Dana. Pronouns she/her. I write and draw the syndicated comic strip/bestselling book series βPhoebe and Her Unicorn.β Before that, I used to do a reasonably popular webcomic called βOzy and Millie.β
@danacorn Cool to see yourself in the puzzle pages.
Also, I feel like this exchange is quoting verbatim from an exchange you have had with your publisher.
This moment @danacorn drew like 20 years ago still lives rent-free in my head...

Skunk party! With weed! And booze! Fantastic commission from @FtK_Artist of Fifi LaFume, my own Claire La Mouf, and @GothicNeoβs Susan.
Did I draw the BEST @danacorn unicorn on the local Which Wich wall?
Yes, yes I did.
Neigh are ~perfect~

Claire laMouf (who belongs to @danacorn) visits the Underclock Lounge, the soothing laid-back bar tended by Frigid within the dome of the Nexus Center. Nexus Center is the kind of place people from other worlds are encouraged to visit, so nearly anyone can show up there at any time.
On this day in 2012, the first strip of what was then called βHeavenly Nostrilsβ ran on GoComics.com.
Happy 11th birthday to βPhoebe and Her Unicornβ! https://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2012/04/22

I deleted all my tweets, but I once tweeted βYou couldnβt make Blazing Saddles today. It takes way longer than one day to make a movie; if you wanted it today you shouldβve started months ago.β I never got why that one didnβt go viral but a couple of my less interesting tweets did. I think that one is funny. π€·ββοΈ
Reminder that there's a new book this week! https://bookshop.org/p/books/punk-rock-unicorn-another-phoebe-and-her-unicorn-adventure-volume-17-dana-simpson/18572379
Itβs not the most import thing in the world, butβ¦
Itβs clear a lot of people think the expression βthe bully pulpitβ means βbullyβ in the modern sense. Like, a pulpit you use to bully people into doing what you want.
The phrase comes from Theodore Roosevelt. And he used βbullyβ often, in an older sense, as in βbully for you.β The phrase really just means βthe excellent pulpit.β
Quasi-mythical pointy-headed being who makes comics, most notably "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" and "Ozy and Millie." She/her.
