ZOMG! It's alive!

Poor Dash. But don't the Ponyville residents know that all ponies (save for the loveable freaks of G2) are chubby? Why they hatin' just because Dash is a bit more prepared for winter?

Minty's just concerned; but Roo is an ass. :P

triple squee!

I just declared our van off road, this helped with the pain!

(I see you're continuing your one man campaign against sugar too...)

"triple squee!"

I hope that's like triple-word score on Scrabble.

Off road. :/ That's not good. I am glad PV could give you a little smile.

(I find it tell-tale that Roo will make fun of Dash, and yet sell sugar by the box).

lol, Fish Liquor FTW. Now that's a bumper sticker.

I looked back through strips yesterday when finishing up today's, and woah, the ears change all the time. I was thinking Minty's ears were a bit big today, but in context I am good with them. Thanks for saying that!

The Poison sugar steams back all the way to comic #17. (I *believe* it was 17..). :) However, the Burro was a recent spur of the moment inspiration. Inspired by? Burritos.

Yeah! Ponyville returns!
Would've thought the comic mis-adventures of a bunch of brightly colored ponies would be so missed?
What a conversation starter... "You're still fat, eh?" You'd have to be really good friends and boys to get away with that, lol. And I had no idea Minty was Canadian...

Any Photoshop yet?

[info]ponyville

August 15 2006, 17:02:34 UTC 5 years ago

Photoshop costs the dollars, yo. My stick is firmly in the mud about that one, although I really enjoyed your tutorial. Why, just today I was thinking "if I had done this in Photoshop I would have needed to put a Breeze in the mouth of a dog with a football helmet use a layer..."

Hooray Ponyville!!! Back in action!! First, I want those colorful pastel grenades, and that wouldn't have come first except I'm staring at them, they're positioned right in my line of sight and they appeal to my love of cartoon violence.

Secondly, poooooor chubbly Dash!! XD
A donkey-sized cola!!!!!!! ♥
And SALAD. Salad makes it ALL BETTER. lmfao!!

And that is the scariest Roo in the HISTORY of EVAR, Spoosh, unholy crap!! And his feet are OLD.

(poor fat Dash! ♥ )

[info]ponyville

August 20 2006, 17:28:38 UTC 5 years ago

"Hooray Ponyville!!! Back in action!!"

Or is the action back in Ponyville? Let us ponder that one.

Perhaps Jill would like to market such grenades. There has to be a market for them. Such as yourself!

Id' like to delve a little deeper into the menu of one Burrito Burro's. Maybe their food sized are: Little-Ass, Donkey-Sized, Big-Ass, etc.. "Hi, I'd like a Big-Ass order of fries, please?"

"And that is the scariest Roo in the HISTORY of EVAR, Spoosh, unholy crap!!"

Roo is on a hansomely downward spiral.

LMAO! This strip reminded me of several people I know. XD

The idea of Roo insulting anyone else's appearance is sweet, sweet irony.

Great expressions in this one, Spooshie, as always. My favorite is Dash's in the first panel. ^_^

"The idea of Roo insulting anyone else's appearance is sweet, sweet irony."

Irony which was not lost on you. ♥

"Great expressions in this one, Spooshie, as always."

Thank you, Minty. :) I'm pretty pleased with this one.

[info]dava

August 16 2006, 00:54:53 UTC 5 years ago

Well, at least he got a salad instead of a third order of fries! o_O I have to wonder, ponies being akin to donkeys, is "fat-ass" an extra special insult with double meaning?

So glad to see you back! I'm compelled to send you software now. :P

[info]ponyville

August 20 2006, 17:38:04 UTC 5 years ago

I am thinking that donkeys, or references to donkeys, are unfavorable things in Ponyville. I sense a perceived class system forming.

"So glad to see you back!"

So glad to BE back. I noticed the same thing happened last year, minus the dead printer. 2 month gap in the summer, and then a steady stream for months after a restart.

Ha, today Roo looks just like a creepy guy I see on the bus every day on my commute to work... well, except for being purple and a pony. Ah never mind. I know what I mean, haha.

[info]desertsunflower

August 16 2006, 03:07:13 UTC 5 years ago

Would that be a taco salad, perchance? *drool* The nearest Mexican chain food joint to me is 2 days away. *sob*

*Simpsonsesque-shudder* Roo is... eww.....

Good to see Ponyville back! Yippee! *cartwheels and crashes into the lunch counter* *talking in the third person way too much*

[info]ponyville

August 20 2006, 17:39:54 UTC 5 years ago

"Would that be a taco salad, perchance? *drool*"

Come to think of it, it probably is. :P

Roo is indeed Ew. It's true because it rhymes.

Thanks for the comment, and you enthusiasm at PV's return!

Wow - I think Roo has learned to use all of his legs for guestures at the same time.. like Ursula! /scary roo

Poor Dash.. but he's so cute! Maybe Wisteria likes a cuddly build. :)

[info]ponyville

August 20 2006, 17:42:30 UTC 5 years ago

".. like Ursula!"

That would be truly creepy. He could smack 4 people with brooms simultaniously.

I am sure Wysteria would love big, small, fat, skinny, old, young, and gassy. That's one of the many tragedies in Dash's plan.

August 17 2006, 11:34:41 UTC 5 years ago

Awesome--it's back!! And with one of my favorite story arcs to boot! ^_^

The love the second panel. (Even though when that happens in real life, I want nothing more than to beat the offending name-caller into the ground...maybe with a broom much like the one Roo has...hmm...) It's the expressiveness that really sells it. It's definately my favorite Roo pic yet, and one of my favorite Dash pics. Yes, I loves it.

(Sorry...I could say what I mean better if I had gotten any real sleep in the past 2 days and maybe if it weren't also 7:30am.......... @___@;)

[info]ponyville

August 20 2006, 17:46:39 UTC 5 years ago

Did you once tell me this was one of your favorite archs? :) I'm pretty fond of it too. It sort of naturally flows, and doesn't have the pressure of grand plot twists.

Thanks, Kathryn! :) That Roo pic took a couple of re-dos, but I am glad I didn't settle for the first few drawings I put down. I'd even scanned in one of them and inked it before abandoning it. So it's cool to know it paid off!

*squeaks and squeals* Ponyville lives! Eee! And Dash! :D Much love for Dash.

Roo just keeps getting scarier and scarier. He must be getting close to the stuff nightmares are made of. But in a good way of course. ;) You know I adore Roo even if he does scare me. :)

I love Minty's ears in the second panel. No idea why, but I do. They are just adorable like that. :D

*is now craving taco salad* Drat.

:D Happy to see you're excited for PV's return! Thanks for commenting, yo.

I'm glad the ears are getting postive comments - I was starting to worry they were getting too bat-like.

Roo is ..well, Roo just is.

I don't see why not; a good idea is a good idea. I'd actually looked back in my comments recently to see what the name of that service is. It's a possibility!

EEEK!! Full frontal scarity! *runs away from Roo* Dash isn't fat, he's cuddly!

Was the Burrito Burro a reference to Strawberry Shortcake or coincidence?

[info]ponyville

August 22 2006, 23:51:35 UTC 5 years ago

Poor Dash - he'sperhasps leaning how misguided this whole plan was, lol.

I thought I'd made Burrito Burro's up on my own; what's the SBS reference?

(Could you mail me with your ideas for your winning raffle commission? :) I'd love to get started on that for you. spoosh@livejournal.com)

so funny... he actually took the advice from old razzy-roo LOL
......well sort of anyway

i also love your backround stuff, especially the sugar poison and grenades that come in several designer colors no less :)
and is that some sort of fish alcohol on the shelf under that?? LOL
