What do you call a fandom “local girl made good” who parlayed a sweet, humble webcomic originally called Heavenly Nostrils into a media empire including best-selling, award-winning books and an upcoming animated adaptation by Nickelodeon? UNICORN!
Er…that is…Dana Simpson.
(Check out Dana’s awesome announcement video here!)
A long-time fixture at My Little Pony cons as a vendor and community guest, Dana was inspired by MLP to make her next effort after the wonderful Ozy and Millie the story of a whip-smart young girl and her deeply self-involved unicorn BFF: Phoebe and Her Unicorn.
A Community Guest no more, Dana has entered the rarified air of the Guests of Honor! She’ll be joining Nicole Oliver, Daniel Ingram, Vincent Tong, Peter New, and Andy Price.
