For those not yet acquainted with the strip: (Panel 1: Minty, Cotton Candy; Panel 2: Wysteria; Panel 3: Sweetberry the Secretary; Panel 4: Amberlocks)



*you know that strip with Dash/Wysteria from a couple months back? Where his eyes are all heart-y and he gets thronged with an arrow? That's me when you comment. So as always, comments hugely appreciated. :D

Amberlocks' face is absolutely killing me. She is a walking punchline all by herself. XD And I spy NEW MUGS!! I especially like that the dog has its own mug. Paris looks far too happy and gleeful -- she's the sort of dog who wets on the rug when the doorbell rings, isn't she?

Can't wait to see whether Cotton Candy manages to find an employee who lives up to her standards... ^_^

"Amberlocks' face is absolutely killing me."

It's probably killing her too.


"I especially like that the dog has its own mug."

The question remains as to whether she can lift a mug in the first place.


"Can't wait to see whether Cotton Candy manages to find an employee who lives up to her standards... ^_^"

::big grin:: And I have been waiting to get this storyline off the ground for months, so I'm very excited to show you.

Ugly? *weeps* Now that's just cruel! And has Cotton Candy still not unpacked? Dave Matthews is going to put out another five CDs before she gets around to it.

Awww, personalized mugs for Cotton Candy and Paris. The Mayor uses his to remember what his wife looks like, but they use them because they loooove themselves, right?

I love Minty's expression. He clearly doesn't want to ask 'Roo for a job.

I can't wait to see who Cotton Candy hires. ^_^ It should be an... interesting... training period.

LOL!

She's unpacked the important things, at least - the mugs.


"Ugly? *weeps* Now that's just cruel!"

Of course SB isn't ugly. Maybe she's just not "coffee pretty."


"but they use them because they loooove themselves, right?"

Nay, they WUV themselves.


"I can't wait to see who Cotton Candy hires. ^_^ It should be an... interesting... training period."

Is Amberlocks having a bad run of clientele that she would be so desperate? ;)

Let alone, Sweetberry. Is the mayor embezzling her paycheck before she can get to it? :P

I have to wonder who Amberlocks' clientel is in the first place - certainly none of the established characters.

I don't the Mayor would know how to embezzle. Sweetberry seems to be suffering from a lack of job satisfaction. ::grin::

Minty is so cute how he has his little hooves clutched together in
hope and his little sad wobbily face!

If Sweetberry's already a secretary, how comes she's applying for jobs? Is it like her second job? (::thinks way too much::)

Boy. Amberlocks looks... terrible! LOL.

Where his eyes are all heart-y and he gets thronged with an arrow? That's me when you comment.

<3 You're cute. As always, fabulouso job on the strip! ::patiently awaits her mug:: Speaking of mugs, I like how Cotton Candy and her dog have mugs--and I like how the dog has the affected Name of "Paris." LOL!

I'm loving that people are sympathizing (pitying?) Minty. That's what I'd hoped for.

"If Sweetberry's already a secretary, how comes she's applying for jobs?"

Maybe she feels her talents will be better put to use somewhere -anywhere- other than the Mayor's Office. But I'm not sure there's a place for Academics in Ponyville. Perhaps not even at the previously pictured University.


"Boy. Amberlocks looks... terrible! LOL."

ROFL! Accurately put. :D


"::patiently awaits her mug::"

I may be openning that store yet!

I too think Wysteria would thrive in coffee. She could probably thrive anywhere, as she's the most positive of the bunch.

"...I used to look sweet like her *nod*"

Ugly? ::laughs:: Cynical yes, but not ugly. ::wags finger at CC::

And poor Minty! He'd do anything to not work at Roos' wouldn't he? Amperlocks is hysterical all on her own though. :) I wouldn't mind seeing a strip that just features her as I'm curious how you would draw the facial expressions.

"Amperlocks is hysterical all on her own though. :)"

Thanks for the thoughts, Cheryl. You know I appreciate them!

"The doggie's name is Paris??? Squeeee! Wait, what am I saying? Why do I like Paris Hilton?"

Since we've already established that the reasons are out of reach, let's just leave that mystery alone. Sometimes you just gotta like who you like. And besides, who knows what crabby things would crawl out if we discect further.

(I'm glad most people are getting and/or laughing at thje name choice! I wasn't sure that the reference was clear)

The dog (is it a dog? Sometimes I think it's an owl thing. LOL!) is named Paris? *snickers*

She's rejected everyone we've seen so far I believe. The mayor and his wife have jobs of course and Dash would die before he took a job. Does this mean a new introduction for her employee? :D

Perhaps she's just not "coffee pretty." Or maybe CC's just not. nice.

Oooo...new mugs! I swear you're going to make a killing if you actually sold ponyville coffee mugs, lol. Just look at all the coffee mug fans!

Minty got turned down? Aww...poor guy. I can picture him asking her out on a date. Standing at her coffee counter, "So, um...would you want to go out for coffee or something?" Lol!

Are Sweetberry and Amerlocks not feeling that job satisfaction at their own jobs? Hehe..

Why is Sweetberry applying?

Surely Amberlocks would be perfect?

Is Cotton Candy always this judgemental?

Why hasn't somebody drowned Paris yet?

Is there anyone in Ponyville who hasn't stuck their mug on a mug?

Does Wysteria actually have a backbone, or is she a really really big pony-shaped jellyfish?

Why am I asking all these questions?

"Why is Sweetberry applying?"

Maybe she's had a secret longing to work in coffee? I don't think SB has a lot of job satisfaction. I don't think SB will *ever* have job satisfaction in Ponyville.


"Is Cotton Candy always this judgemental?"

And mean and shrewd? Yes.


"Why hasn't somebody drowned Paris yet?"

Because she floats


"Is there anyone in Ponyville who hasn't stuck their mug on a mug?"

Everybody! LOL. CC is just the quintessential trend-jumper.


"Why am I asking all these questions?"

Because you thirst for Ponyville knowledge?

I am really, strongly, maybe, really thinking of the CafePress store now. I feel better about it now that I have 19 comics under my belt, and this for sure isn't a flash in the pan. And it would be nice to get *some* kind of moneez for the work.

I think she'd rather work anyhere else. But in Ponyville, I think SB will sadly find she's overqualified for everything.

This one's great. Amberlocks looks like she's had the crap kicked out of her, lol. I love the eyelid like that. And poor Minty...if he has to work for Roo I think he'll end up just as insane. I wonder who makes all those Ponyville mugs? They must be rich! I love 'em all. But the Wife mug is still the best. And the dog's name is Paris...hahahahahaha, that kills me. :D
