During last month’s Holiday Touring madness, Goldfish declared January 11th to be Unicorn Appreciation Day. Well, with Rainbow Donkey as one of my most popular characters, how could I not get in on that action? So your goal today should be to go out and find a unicorn and give it a big hug to let it know how much unicorns mean to you! Just take a little caution when you do…

I can’t believe nobody’s bought this on a T-shirt yet!
Such a horn can be useful…. where can I get one? My momma has an uneasy relationship to unicorns, bcause of a boyfriend who played the song by America in an endless loop. the worst was that he sang along and the unicorn became a “Yummmicom” and with this the idiot killed 87k nerves of my momma. So I appreciate a Rainbow Donkey today, that’s ok 🙂
You could try gluing an ice cream cone to your head… that way you’d always have an emergency food source around in case you needed it!
Backatcha. If I find one, I will. If I find one, all hopes of winning the lottery are off, based on the odds.
Never thought of that, but you’re right! Talk about using up all of your allotted good luck at once…
Happy UAD!
Thank you… although that acronym just looks weird…
Very true. Like an acronym for Union of American Donkicorns or such.
RD and I are totally going to part it up today!
W00t! W00t! W00t!
I bask in your ability to draw. 🙂
I bask in that ability as well. The same hand that used a mouse to draw both of those pictures is also constantly dropping things… and I’m probably lucky I can even wipe my own ass without missing…
Perhaps you should check just in case…a double wipe can never hurt. 😀
I will make sure to scatter extra unicorn chow out today.
I wonder what unicorns eat? Lucky Charms?
Possum nuggets with Ranch dressing. HA HA HA.
I’m sure they’d love Lucky Charms.
I will go forth in search of my unicorn today! Tallyho!!
Best of luck! Just watch out for that horn!
I found a crochet unicorn just for you. 😉 http://www.patriciawaller.com/images/unicorn.jpg
Yes!!! The only thing better than mixing unicorns with gore is mixing crochet with gore!
Poor Buster was just trying to be friendly 😦
I have to admit that your drawing is a lot better than my feeble 20 second effort!
Don’t worry, unicorns don’t judge people on silly talents… they like everyone equally, except possums.
This seems a holiday made for you! I posted a picture of my favorite pet Unicorn. He doesn’t get out much these days, so it’s nice to give him an airing. Does this mean we can declare holidays for anything and have them put on our calendar?
I don’t see why not… there are already enough silly holidays out there! I took a peek at the calendar hanging up in my doctor’s office the other day which had a strange celebration for each day. Did it have Squirrel Appreciation Day for January 21? Nooooooo, just National Hug Day. Please… as if a hug can possibly top a squirrel.
Well. If you want to create a national squirrel day, I will proudly celebrate it!
No need to, it’s been in existence since 2001, every January 21st! It just obviously needs a little more promotion. I’ve tried throughout the years… I’ve tried.
I’ll put it on MY calendar! We won’t let them ignore us!!

I like Jennifer’s pattern best but can’t wait to show the boy the teddy bear one. HaHaHa. If you can think it, you can crochet it. 😀
It’s definitely an art form I never realized had so much possibility before I came to the internet!
Happy Unicorn Day – since I couldn’t find one, maybe a hug could be passed on to Rainbow Donkey for me. Every once in a while, I get a flash in my mind of his bearded-self on the deserted island and it gives me a smile. 😄
I’ll pass along that hug… if I can find him myself! I’m glad that comic made such an impression on you! Maybe I should give RD a goatee….
My daughter is going to be so upset that we didn’t acknowledge that yesterday was Unicorn Appreciation Day
Well, you can still make it up on any day…. every day is Unicorn Appreciation Day!
I cuddled a couple of actual donkeys, does that count?
Absolutely it does! Donkeys are cuter than they are usually given credit for…
If you were on the Book of Face, you could see pictures of “my” donkeys, which would prove that. The really cute thing is they’ve learned which pocket I keep donkey treats in, and so they try to get into that pocket! I just hope that they don’t ever realise that they’re stronger than me.
Hooray for unicorns! 😀
Don’t stop believin’!
