Mm... Unicorn
FOUND by Marissa Bender
in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
I volunteer at a food co-op in the North End. A few months back, when I was opening up, I found this pushed through the mailslot. It's written on the back of a marker package. I posted it on the bulletin board, inconspicuously, until it fell down and I took it home. Now it lives on my bulletin board.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...

That's funny.. just as this was opening here, the other person on the other computer in the room had a picture of charlie the unicorn on the monitor.
Candy mountain!! Candy Mountain!!!!
is the hippie unicorn walking on the railroad tracks? Is the dragon just laying in wait, for the train to hit the unicorn, and save him all the effort of killing it?
I love the dragon's arms. It reminds me of the T-Rex from Meet The Robinsons: "I have a big head and little arms. I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through."
"Made in China"
my favorite part.
Well, it looks like the markers work pretty well. Sharp, bold lines. mark whatever you want. (Does it say neutral smell?) Light fast... (what about waterproof? guess not.)
It almost sounds like a candidate for Engrish.com with that line, "mark whatever you want."
Almost.
That Unicorn's expectin' some lovin' at midnight, I reckon.
This reminds me...
When I go shopping for art supplies at Blick's Art Supplies, there are tons of small pieces of paper laying around for people to test the markers, pens, etc. I like looking through them to see all of the little doodles and short cartoons that people have drawn on them.
the love heart makes me think that the dragon is having impure thoughts about the unsuspecting unicorn ...
Does anyone else think these two critters were drawn by two different people - looks like very different skill levels.
@the man behind the curtain
I can see where you're coming from. The dinosaur looks a little more skillfully drawn than the unicorn, but they seem in the same style so I'm not sure what I think, but I can see where it would be possible. My friends and I like to draw little cartoon-esque things where someone will draw one bit and the other the next. It's always the best thing to do when in class and not allowed to talk.
Yeah I get the feeling of two authors. I think that unicorn girl drew her sweet little stick figure (notice the My Little Pony-esque symbol on the rump)and then the dragon drawer came along. The "Mmm Unicorn" just kills me!
Man, I could so totally go for some unicorn right about now.
Oh, I hope Mr Meanydragon gets no feast.
I Heart Unicorns.
Unicorn ... the other white meat: Tastes just like chicken.
Gustatus Similis Pullus
I thought unicorns were real until I read Harry Potter. I thought they were some animal in New Zealand or somewhere I probably would never go. It's not that far fetched, it's just a horn on the head, it's not like a horse with wings.
I would like for the dragon to not bother the unicorn. I wonder if all unicorn crossings happen at 12:00 in the morning and if dragons eat lunch at that time.But the words "whatever you want" are imprinted on the dragon, so....
Unicorn drawings always make me think of a certain university art professor who said, on the first day of class, "If I see another unicorn I think I'm going to puke."
@Pepper - hold on, are you telling me that unicorns AREN'T real?
What about New Zealand - also fictitious?
It's a day for shattered dreams...
Does gravy go with unicorn?
Pepper, that's funny! But Harry Potter is fiction, actually. Unicorns could be real. Not too long ago, I read about a previously unknown deer-type animal that was discovered in a remote area of Asia. Sort of like an antelope. So unicorns could be real. It's possible.
When my daughter was little and it was her turn to say grace at dinner, her prayer was: "Dear god, thank you for all the unicorns and Pegasuses in our imaginations."
in the middle ages in europe they thought the rhinoceros was a unicorn once they started traveling about in africa.
Hulloa
I saw a picture of a deer, that, due to a genetic defect, only had one antler, growing out of the middle of his(her?) head. I think it got eaten by a dinosaur.
that is all.
Unicorns love midnight? Cool!
I just discovered there is a Charlie the Unicorn 2. I watched the video three times and then logged onto Found. I guess the rest of my day will be filled with magical unicorns!
@John, yes! Unicorn gravy and biscuits are a staple at the Freon household.
I just adore the *heart* tattoo on the unicorns ass. Reminds me, shouldn't the dinosaur have *I love mum* tattooed on his arm? HEEHEE!
I guess if these 2 were to have **Jiggy-Jiggy**, and the female unicorn were to get 'knocked-up', the baby would be called a "DINACORN"? or a "UNISAUR"?
Sounds scary!!
But DOES unicorn go with gravy?
@Librarian -
I just knew you were going to hit us with a unicorns are fiction/non-fiction fact.
...
I don't know if unicorns or dragons are real but I do know if I actually saw one I'd freak out.
Only slightly off topic, but did anyone else hear that American Apparel is now selling what they call the "Cadillac of vibrators"?
Please, discuss among yourselves.
OK... I can't believe you guys are talking about eating the unicorn!!! Look in the dinosaur's eyes... It's not hunger. It's lust! "MM... unicorn" is obviously dinosaur foreplay (they have very limited language skills, you know.)
This belongs on DIRTY FOUND.
This bear has seen the sights in many different kinds of places, some of them magical and some mundane. As far as I have seen, unicorns don't exist. But then again demon boys and dragons just might.
That's the exactly kind of stuff I draw when I'm bored.
But with a prettier unicorn (the dinosaur is just great)
@ Lost Girl ... well, okay, I wasn't going to mention the actual, living, Italian unicorn in the news this week (do a Google News search to find the Associated Press article AND photo), and someone should have already have brought up the Irish Rovers song "The Unicorn Song" (a probably illegal copy of the lyrics ar the url below):
http://byjoni.com/unicornm.html
I mean, if you can't trust a rollicking bunch of drunken Irish singers to tell you the truth, whom can you trust? [also, a literary connection: Shel Silverstein wrote the lyrics to the Unicron Song]
Right ON!! The Irish Rovers!! I'm Irish, my Mother's parents both born in Dublin...BEEUUTTEEFFUULL place to see and vacation!
I'm a HUGE fan of the Irish Rovers!
Great reminder, Librarian!
LOL @ Librarian -
You ALWAYS come through! Oh, & I just gotta see this Italian unicorn you speak of.
... Is that REALLY a dinosaur? I guess it would have fire coming from the mouth if it were really a dragon. To each it's own.
Well, with the tramp-stamp on her hindquarters, the unicorn is going to get a few lustful stares.
The unicorn has a slight gormless look to it's face. A little retarded I think. Makes me think of the classic (though very disturbing) line my social worker friend came out with when drunk: "Mong rape is rife"
"MMMM.... Unicorn!"
If I were that Dinosaur I'd go right for the heart on the bum, nice and tender! Yum!!!
UtahChick, I'd bite your bum any time.
But you're spoken for... ;-)
Watch out lil Unicorn. That Dragon is from the wrong side of the tracks!
Thanks Librarian.. the unicorn song will keep me company while I clean out the file cabinets.. I bet i'll find a drawing of a unicorn in there too.
Oh, that's a good observation Nightingale, I hope she hears your warning. I guess it's good that unicorns are magic, cuz her feet (which she doesn't have) are walking on the air between the rungs.
@Clover Unicorns don't have feet. Being somewhat related to the horse they have hooves.
Oh, pashaw, Smallbear! Clover's unicorn can have whatever appendages Clover can imagine.
Ummm... aren't we forgetting an important fact about unicorns? You have to be a virgin to be able to see them!
A friend of mine, a bit older than me, seemingly rather prim, once said "I collect unicorns. Well of COURSE you all can't see them! Only Virgins can see them!" (It cuts down on dusting I think.)
This same, seemingingly prim lady used to follow Brinks trucks to determine their schedule. I asked her once, "Janice, are you still following Brinks trucks now that you've moved?!?" She responded, wide-eyed, "Oh no, Camelia -- they only have Loomis in Monterey!"
Ever play the game where you identify people as the animal they most remind you of?? Based on what they look like and taking personality into consideration. We know chipmunks, hawks, cows, owls, deer, donkeys, cats, etc., but my circle of friends has me pegged as the unicorn.
