Comic #17 - 17:02
Comic #17 - 17:02



*as always, comments hugely appreciated!

It's hard for me to believe this is already the 17th Ponyville strip. I've had a pretty good idea of what the next chunk of strips will be like for a while now; it's a lot of fun to see strips come and go (like Cotton Candy's debut - here's a link if you missed it) that had once seemed so far off in the future. And I'm proud that its appearance is evolving: Comic #3.

I love 'Roo!
...and is that a whole shelf full of "Wife" mugs? lol

I totally forgot that today was Ponyville day. It was a nice surprise for it to appear on my friends page :)

Dude, his eyes are scary! You definetly get the impression he's a little bit ga-ga!

There's a nice difference between the two young-uns and Roo - you can tell he's a lot older!

Tis very good :D

I imagine Roo to be somewhere in his 60's. He's set in his ways. And his eyes have the ruitine down pat after so much experience. :P

Glad you liked it!

Oh Dash, you suck. Just because you're going to get a sweet executive position at your dad's hair gel or hot air balloon factory doesn't mean the rest of us can skip a semester because we smoked too many rainbowberry leaves to register on time.

Minty's "I will hurt you later" expression in the last frame is brilliant. ^_^ And Roo has really aged; he's still a sneaky one, though.

And am I the only one so far who's noticed that beer is only questionable but sugar is !POISON!?

Poor Roo - I will always think of him as C03 Razz, I just can't see him as an old codger with a nasty temper :P

LOL! Great! I love 'Roo sneaking in the store with his infamous broom.
I also love Dash's expression in the third pic. *Giggles* It's not his first encounter with Roo.
I also love the markings on the products. Very...safe...

LOL! I love 'Roo sneaking around the store and then pouncing up on Dash and Minty... *dies* It reminds me of this drug store by my house-- this old guy owned it and every time I went in there he'd follow me around the store 'cause apparently young=thief. I wasn't too surprised when his store went out of business... *g*

*fingers itch to pluck the two hairs from 'Roo's chin*

This one is one of my favorites now. It ranks up there with the opera strip. :)

I dunno, I guess Dash's additude really stood out in this one and Razz's expression in the last panel is priceless... hell all 3 of their's! It's ripe for a "Make up a Caption" contest X3

:D I am very glad to know, Duckie! I thought about asking what everyone's favorite strip was in that poll I posted, but wondered if that may be a bit presumptuous. So I loved hearing that!

A Caption contest is something I'd considered.. ::plots::

Ok, now that's just fucking awesome to me. Thanks for telling me that, Lipsy. :)

And thanks for saying this is your favorite! I thought about asking which strip is everyone's favorite in that survey, but thought that would seem a bit pretentious.

I think what I like best about this comic is how rich all the panels are. There's so many little details to notice, and usually as I'm whizzing through my friends page at warp speed I don't even notice them till someone else mentions them or I read it a second time (which I always do, so I can catch all the details *grin*).

And it's great to see how crisper and cleaner the drawing has become. I hadn't even noticed it acutely till you pointed it out, but wow! Awesome.

Roo is so great in this one. I love how he's lurking around behind them the whole time.

I am so glad I found this comic! It always puts a smile on my face. :)

I have missed the past few weeks (exams and then having to come home to DIAL UP internet!!! *dies*), but, just so you know, the comics are ALL awesome!!
One of the first things I noticed in this one was the sugar boxes... lol! A true Spoosh touch. ;)
And I will have to start making a tally of all the times the wife mugs appear. ;)

And I love the stuff on the shelves. It's the little things that make this comic great. *snort*

Thank you, EDP! I am really happy about it.. I suppose constant practice helps things, lol. I'm just really glad it's been able to improve. I'm actually *pleased* with some of the recent drawings, not just ok with them because I couldn't do better.
