Reporting Back

That was my question, is it adoption or job. The latter strip (two after this) implies job contract to me...

Nah, Cubetown probably has some device that retcons reality so that they were always citizens or something.

BookBeard

The Unicorn Principal is a spinoff from Magical Love Gentleman.

Hugh Eckert

and also for Claire to start her new job. That's at least six pages there.

Some Ed

At least, not while both conscious and sober. Unfortunately, the one time she did consciously realize this was the one time she did weed, and her notes from it are basically unintelligible to anyone who doesn't consciously understand that, so...

Some Ed

Moray didn't get the joke, and those are papers to adopt Liz.

Sammitch

To be clear, are these Unicorns in the Dan Savage sense of the word?

Todd Ellner

The The Gremlin is going to have to go back to her cave and find clean undies or go to the nearest human clothing store.

Todd Ellner

The Invisible Pink Unicorn pees in Russell's Teapot

Todd Ellner

Claire can get into Canada because Cubetown needs her in particular. As a spouse Martin could come along. As a boyfriend, not so much. They're gonna hafta put a ring on it, or he'll be back to listening to bitter obscure Indie bands in his lonely bed in the States

Todd Ellner

I expect Tai and Dora's actual wedding is another 2 years off in real-world time, so if Marten (or Claire) proposes immediately, it'll probably be another 4 years before we get to the wedding.

Clifton Royston

Liz hasn't yet worked out that the tip of a unicorn's horn is a magnetic monopole and thus the key to infinite free energy with only a small, almost negligible, probability of entirely destroying the universe as a side effect.

Stephen Wells

We've got Tai and Dora's wedding coming first!

enchantedsleeper

Yes.The desire kicked in for me when Marten was wearing Moray on his back.

Tom Carlson

I hope marten proposes to Claire soon, I really want a wedding arc ^^

Pedro Jose Guarin

They'll always be Goblizabeth to me!

David Pipes

Sadly, while Gremlizabeth has all of those things, she never bothered to learn any of them, which means her sub-basement is a wasteland of horror.

Shawn K. Younkin

Sounds like an earnest slow clap

Charlie Rose

So not like a sarcastic slow clap, then.

Mark

Wow! I have questions, however, about why the most common design involves a unicorn on a stripper pole.

William Cole

Dang, I"d forgotten all about Amir's unicorn obsession! Excellent deep cut!

William Cole

Right. Sacrifice to one of the people who is an actually lives at the location. But sure, if one is gonna adult, then one might adult properly. 😅

Daniel Rydberg

I wish American golf spectators would practice the golf clap instead sounding like they're at a football match. Also shouting "get in the hole!" continually. Even when there's fuck all chance of the ball getting anywhere near the damn hole.

Chris Crowther

Hopefully Gremlizabeth is tenured enough to have some kind of laundry allowance at the very least, otherwise they should follow the procedures for the handling and storage of hazardous waste.

David Paul

Donate/sacrifice one pair, then make the first order of business clothes shopping.

David Paul

It's like a very polite quiet clap, the kind that spectators use when watching golf. So it's kinda like, subdued/unenthusiastic applause xD

enchantedsleeper

Jeph what is a Golf Clap

Charlie Rose

can martin lend her one?

BrokenThyme

On the other hand, maybe Claire didn’t bring that many pairs, they are only here for the interview and short visit after all. Poor adorrible little goblin.

Daniel Rydberg

I would also not lend out a clean pair. But I would consider giving one pair away to the horrdorable little goblin.

Daniel Rydberg

They already woke up together once, this should be a regular thing :)

Stephen Wells

both. each took two tries

Krestus

Does anyone else kind of want Claire and Marten to become a polycule with Moray?

Roombot

The Unicorn Principal Name? Kerberos.

Leak

The Unicorn Principle explains the Singularity.

Sleepy John

Well that's an interesting second-order misinterpretation on a somewhat niche word!

fluffy

That sounds like a decent popsci pamphlet.

Opus the Poet

Yes

Drazi

To Jeph's subtitle point: the Unicorn Principal is an Etsy store that sells unicorn-principal-themed t-shirts. https://www.etsy.com/market/unicorn_principal

Carl Fink

You know you’ve been computering for too many years when you read “it took four tries” and your brain tries to think “what does a data structure have to do with this” but instead thinks “four trees? How big is that contract?”

So, will this be a lead-in to having Deathmøle do a concert visit to Cubetown, finally playing their Unicorn Prince concept album?

Holly Nelson

Sympathetic Gremlin meets Librarian-Mom, this is going to be a fascinating dynamic

BrokenThyme

So is this the employment paperwork or the adoption paperwork?

Yelling Bird

Lol she’s such a gremlin

The Unicorn Principal, by Chuck Tingle

Pejo

But it's mything an important perspective.

jeff fearnow

Questionable Unicorns vs Invisible Emus is the name of my Missing Persons cover band.

Elf Sternberg

Well then- Rule 34 it is.

jeff fearnow

A very pointed comment, Kaitou.

Joseph Bonnar

What is that on the wall? Surely not art.

Summer Sudbrink

The Director is a post-singularity intelligence. It's thoughts about human level intellects are equivalent to human level intellects. So... maybe, maybe not. On some level, none of the Morays really ever existed, they're just thoughts of the post-singularity AI given form. So it's possible the director could keep the memories of the Morays segmented so it could recreate them intact if needed. Here's another thought: That does mean it's possible that the Director's real personality is literally just like Moray's, but it can't express herself on a human level without going through Morays. A superintelligent, godlike ... Moray.

KiTA

Moray: “Oooh! I can be leggings!”

Mad Marie

Is this when we discover her hair is a completely other color when she remembers to wash it? Or some other hairstyle?

KiTA

I say take The Unicorn Principle and make it your own.

Tudza

Jeph's next series: Questionable Unicorns.

kaitou

And yes. That makes it unanimous.

awgiedawgie

Does Moray and her sisters exist independently of the Director? Or do their personalities cease once they are reassured? Do they re-emerge when they are budded off from the Director. I'd hate to think Moray might simply cease to be .

Michael Boettger

Why doesn't Moray get a change of clothes for the degremlinized Liz?

Carrie

Yes

Carrie

Yes

Zak Reichle

wait are they actually adopting her or is that the employment papers

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

That sounds like a yes to me as well, Moray. Summon the COOLNICORN!

Zak Reichle

Yes

Zak Reichle

Wait, job papers or adoption papers?

Alan

Setting boundaries early is important when raising a goblin genius.

Two Wheels

This morning was intimate enough without needing to have any discussions about why Claire's undergarments may differ from Liz's.

Bill Silvia

Now, to be fair, they're not even close to the same size, so...

Joseph Houk

golf clap

She composed a hip-hop song called Unicorn Stance.

Claire, be nicer to your adopted daughter
