Comic #50 - 50:03

50th comic! ::bull horn::

For this strip, try to remember back to the last part of the slowest storyline ever. (click here to read it). Cotton Candy is trying to open her Cafe, but she needs someone to cut the ribbon at the ribbon cutting ceremony. Ki'ono offered to help, but not without first jerking CC around, which brings us to here:






News: Donator strip still forthcoming! You didn't miss it. :)

*As always, comments and feedback are very much appreciated. It's valuable for me to hear back about what you enjoy in a comic, from visuals to tech aspects to the joke itself and etc! If I were at the bank, I'd ask to withdraw comic comments over money.

"I'm here to cut your ribbon." And suddenly, the concept of ribbon cutting takes on an entirely new, innuendo-based meaning, possibly one that causes a rash. And Amberlocks smells of fish (and probably liquor, and quite possibly fish liquor)! XD

Very nice, dynamic body language in the last panel. Look out, Ki'ono!

::grins:: It's cool you picked up on that, because I tried to phrase it as suggestively as possible. Of course, Amberlocks could probably read a street sign and still sound suggestive.



"Very nice, dynamic body language in the last panel."

Thank you! :) I'm really pleased with how it ended up.

Thanks for your detailed comments, Minty. I look forward to them.

Thanks Silver!

I don't think you could keep a dog away from Amberlocks. She's just a bevy of scents.

Tee hee, fish.

I like the expressions in the last panel. I think they're exactly right. And Ki'ono's pose reminds me of your sketch pony that's subtle AND elegant.

Oh man, Amberlocks...ewww fish smell! xD *I love it* The dog is so cute. I'd be terrified of Amberlocks showed up at my door and said, "I'm here to cut your ribbon."

AGHHH.

Omigod, Amberlocks is Courtney Love, isn't she?! LMAO! That cracks me up that she smells like fish. :P

I like the new look for Paris! It's nice to see a little more of her. ^_^

You have some kickass line quality, too---how do you create this artwork? If you could do this on paper, you might be a good animation inker.

Local celebrity!! Oh, the METAPHOR, it BURNS!! (And itches!) *dies*

She smells like FISH. *holds head*
That's.... that's EVIL, lmao. EVIL!

The expressions on their faces, especially Cotton Candy... wow, Spoosh. Wow!! I am very, very impressed with the quality of it all. I am kinda starting to have a think, and what I thunk is that you should maybe give Ponyville a webpage... like Shortpacked. ;)

ROFL! Oh this one is inspired.
The new look for Paris? Love it--much more doggy-like. (Less owly-like...not that I have a problem with Owly!) XD
The smelling of fish? Hilarious. (And it can have so many meanings really.) lol
The expressions? Woot.
Ki'ono sans glasses? Double woot.
The whole frickin' last panel? Triple, nay, quadruple woot!!

I also realized this is the first time we've ever seen Amberlock's tail--omg! Good choice on portraying that btw. It looks properly frizzy and broken off/thinned out at the bottom. (Probably from all that crimping. ^_~)

I do have a question though...or rather an observation I guess: the dark pink wrinkle lines on Cotton Candy in the 3rd panel threw me off a bit. I sat there staring at them like, "Huh?" I think it's the wrinkles under the eyes/on the cheeks that bother me. I don't think they make sense there--the cheeks are rounded out in that expression and any squinty-ness is implied already with the lines defining the bottoms of the eyes. I like the extra definition above her eye though.

The Ki'ono in the last panel is definitely my favorite Ki'ono ever! ^____^ Awesome. As always you do an excellent job with little details. Like Ki'ono's teeth-line in that panel--I realize that horses don't have pointy "canines" but for what ever reason, I adore that line for this expression. It just...works. <3 <3 <3
Other details of note: the smoke from Amberlock's cig (I'll bet she's not supposed to be smoking in the Cafe, lol) and that gorgeous bow on the ribbon outside.

Also, Cotton Candy looks like she could play a mean game of twister!
(Gah...I can't stop myself.... I'll never think of "cutting the ribbon" the same way again! Oh, it burns! roflolomgwtfbbq!) XDD

CC is in a GREAT pose for the last panel.
I almost wish Amberlocks had a top on. You can almost imagine one strap falling carelessly to the side. Haha. If you ever wanted to push the smell thing further, you could have flowers wilting as she goes past.
BTW, I enjoy the fact that CC and Amberlocks are different pinks.

*laughs* The last panel is priceless. Who knew Cotton Candy had that in her. I'd be heading for the door to if I was Ki'ono. And yay for getting to see more of Paris. Love how Paris is thinking of fish while sniffing Amberlocks. Is it possible she had a little swig of something before showing up? ;)

Have Paris and the monkey come to terms with one another yet? *is waiting for the 'great' face off between the two* And does the monkey have a name? *doesn't recall and feels bad for not remembering*

random extra idea: I don't know if it would work in the comic very well, but I'd love to see either Paris or the Monkey chewing on an old manky Majesty... a la your "STFU Majesty" picture. ;) wuahaa

Squee! at Paris, he's fluffier now! Poor baby, trying to figure out why Amberlocks smells like fish.

I absolutely LOVE the last panel, esp. Cotton Candy. She must've been moving pretty dang fast as her necklace hasn't swung back! (At first I thought she pulled a gun on Ki'ono, then I realized they were his sunglasses. >.< )

The visuals are still nice but the jokes are kind of weak. But of course Amberlocks makes any comic strip 5 times funnier.
