:D I'm so glad to be posting a strip again!

*As always, comments and feedback are very much appreciated. Especially after such an obnoxious hiatus! Let your comments be the bridge over my troubled waters. Let your feedback be the spear that slays the troll underneath that bridge.

Commission nonesense:
I am in a bit of money crunch (let's just call that crunch "2006.") I know several people have wanted commissions but couldn't afford them before; if you are interested in a commission, mail me at spoosh @ livejournal.com (or post here) and we can work something out that satisfies us both! :)

Also, I have another custom commission auction up on eBay currently: Check it out if you want colored artwork for cheep!

	Aw, the seal is so cute. XD Oh, that conniving Sweetberry! She's going to get herself fired one of these days. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The seal needed an upgrade! I'm thinking Sweetberry would have to do something pretty awful to get herself fired. The Mayor is a pretty forgiving (and oblivious) sort. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	giggles Oh Sweetberry -- so vindictive, so immature. Did the Mayor really have an important announcement, or was it just another crazy no-ribbon-cutting day in Ponyville? (I was going to make a joke about scooter bans instead and checked out the old Mayor Pie strips. Look! Your skills of an artist have grown exponentially. ^_^) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She's been pushed to the brink. The mayor indeed had an iportant announcement. ;) So appropriate that you mentioned the scooters... (Thank you! :D I was going to reuse that podium for today's strip, but when I went back and actually looked at it, my reaction was pretty much "oh HELL no," and then I made a new one.)

	haha, poor Mayor Pie! Sweetberry is so deliciously evil :P I like Sparky's hair in the corner there :P (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I like Sparky's hair in the corner there :P" ::grins:: A press conferance has gotta have the press. "Breaking news: Gasious Mayor." I'd use my Sparkleworks icon, but my paid time ran out, ohwhataworld! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ping I love his monocle, it's like an extension of his horror, also he looked kind of worried even as he read (unless that was his serious news face) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ponyville 2006-04-25 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Memorize your speeches, Mayor. Memorize them. I had to figure out some way to play up his horror, and an expressive monocle was the key. Psyched that you noticed! :D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	A cheap gag, but it get's laughs. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	featherypony 2006-04-25 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Omg it's been so long! clings to Ponyville I love his face in the third panel. You really captured that OMGWTFGRASSCLIPPINGS?! look very well. But I kinda feel bad for the Mayor. He looks so...humiliated. pats him I'm not laughing. Honest. >> I'm emailing you. Like, as we speak. :O (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Bwahahahaha! That Sweetberry! So deliciously evil. :) Also, I love that you used Sparkleworks as one of the silhouetted ponies! I'd recognize that hair anywhere. g Also, the Seal of Ponyville looks like he got a makeover. g So happy to see this strip back! :) Emily :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Meep! o_o The new seal scares me! (I realllllly loved the old seal, ::sniffle:: Fairwell, o Great Seal of yesteryear...) I do like his new flipper raised in a confident greeting to the masses though. Also, the Mayor's expression in panel 2 is great. "Gosh, I'm sorry." LoL! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	littlegreenpony 2006-04-25 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	uses the most appropriate icon EVER Har, har! XD Oh, poor Mayor Pie -- therein lies the danger of having someone who doesn't like you write your speeches. Excellent "Clever Smirk of Hidden Evil Glee" on Sweetberry in the last panel. And the seal! Why does the seal remind me a little of Dr. Phil now? o_O (Reply to this)(Thread)

	guiliaine 2006-04-25 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	LOL. The poor Mayor! I dig the seal's smarmy smile, LOL. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I love the Sweetberry. She is my favorite opressed secretary. Ever. And I love how you captured her evil grin in the final panel. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The fart jokes are always the best XD I do like the silhouetted audience. I take it the highly bouffant pony on the far right is Sparkleworks, intrepid frontline reporter? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jellostar 2006-04-25 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	tries very hard not to giggle and fails Love the horrified look on his face. And please tell me Lemon Squash had nothing to do with his tie. Was that another of his 'brilliant'. Though it does make me wonder, who let him go shopping by himself? Sweetberry is evil love. Oh yes. :D I'm sure Sparkleworks is just going to love telling this story on the news. :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm not much for fart jokes, but to each there own:). What is a vignette anyhow? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	cool I thank you so much for shareing them with me (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Bwaha! You got a nice belly laugh out of me with this one! ~_^ (Oh, and Mayor Pie's expressions are so... expressive! Great job!) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	firefrie 2006-04-26 08:08 am UTC (link)
	Love it! You are getting even better every week,seriously, the expressions, the poses, adore them! I've probably mentioned it before, but I really like the line-tension of your characters, it adds so much life and looks really good:) The seal of ponyville's expression made me laugh out loud, freaking out various family members:) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Giggles happily with the rest of them I love looking at your sketchbook pages too. Is that a sketch of Ki'ono's evil monkey with a knife at the top of the page? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	evildeadpony 2006-04-28 07:31 pm UTC (link)
	Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! lmao, poor Mayor Pie! ;_; He might be a blithering idiot but he's a good-hearted old sport!! ;) (Reply to this)(Thread)
