Comic #54 - 54:03

I posted a comic Friday afternoon, which was an odd time. Check back in the PV journal if you missed it. :)

For today's strip, harken back to the erstwhile first-gear Cotton Candy Cafe storyline: click here to read it.

*As always, comments and feedback are very much appreciated. Don't make me do the comment dance, because you know I'll do it! It looks a little something like that "have to pee" dance. OK, fine.. ::stands up and starts to shuffle::

	HAAHAHAHA. Too funny. I think there should be weekly installments of "The Muckraker." I love the shot of what looks like a camera peering between some tree branches at the top of the Mayor's head, LOL!! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I think there should be weekly installments of "The Muckraker."" That would be a lot of fun, if I had the time! I can see The Muckraker working as a nice plot device. That's exactly it! Someone has stolen a shot of the Major while he's recovering. :P (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Whoever it is has a full 2-page spread inside the magazine. :P (Reply to this)(Parent)

	XDDD Oh, this is totally one of my favorites. It features my two favorite characters and TABLOIDS. I love tabloids. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Oh, this is totally one of my favorites." :D That's what I was hoping to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The Cafe storyline has been languishing, and I'd like to add to it more consistantly. Do you love tabloids sincerely or ironically? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I just love making fun of them and reading them in the checkout isle. :3 (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Is that Sew-and-So's butt? XD (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hasbro has produced so many ponies with similar schemes that it could be any number of ponies, heh. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Scandal, monogrammed purses and a monkey with a knife. How can you go wrong? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ponyville 2006-10-26 04:41 am UTC (link)
	"How can you go wrong?" Perhaps with too much dialogue? I can't decide ot CC's diatribe was too long or not long enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightmrstallion 2006-10-28 01:43 am UTC (link)
	Mmmm. Maybe your right. My brain wandered away somewhere around the middle and I had to come back and read it over. That's ADD for you. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Lol, so much gossip goodness crammed into one frame. Awesome pony tabloid! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"so much gossip goodness crammed into one frame." Tabloids are like the Nile in that way. So efficient. (Reply to this)(Parent)

That's some kinda butt! Now we know why our good old G2s were so skinny -- they were just trying to avoid TEH PONY CELLULITE OMG!!1

Nice angle on the Mayor. And I love the fact that the Muckraker uses proper intarwebs punctuation like "!!!!11" ^_^

The suspense builds! Will Ki'ono find a celebrity in time? Will someone please take that knife away from that monkey before somebody loses an eye? And whose butt is that??

"The suspense builds! Will Ki'ono find a celebrity in time? Will someone please take that knife away from that monkey before somebody loses an eye? And whose butt is that?"

Each question more pressing than the last! Each shall be answered in due time.

"Nice angle on the Mayor."

Thank you. And for the observation about the intarwebs. I was clearly going for accuracy. ;)

	ROFL! Oh, man, I needed that! I laughed so hard at the pony cellulite I messed up my mascara. o_O The magazine is too perfect. That is completely my impression of tabloids. :P The angles on all the pics are superb. The title and byline are awesome! And I love that you can see just a sliver of the interior pages. ^_^ Nice layout, too! I thought it was a pleasant change. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I love the distracted "OMG MY LIFE IS SO STRESSFUL AND TRAUMATIC, I can't find a monogrammed purse" look on the star's face. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	ponyville 2006-10-26 04:51 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, man, I needed that! I laughed so hard" :D And I needed this comment, bad-like. Thanks, Dava. :) Thanks for your detailed observations too; it's rewarding for me when someone points those kinds of things out. (Especially you, since I know you have an idea of the work that's involved!) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	OMG,that line, "find out how she's coping and what she's wearing this season" nearly made me scream with laughter. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ponyville 2006-10-26 04:47 am UTC (link)
	::grins:: Sadly, it's nearly plagerism, as I'm sure The Star or one of its peers has used the same line without irony. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Death by monkey! The only way to go. I also love the way you slipped intarweb punk-oo-ation into the rag's bylines lol. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ponyville 2006-10-29 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Death by monkey! The only way to go." I don't know, Rhonda. I'd rank that in a list of ways I'd be afraid to go, lol, firmly between "plague" and "wood chipper." "I also love the way you slipped intarweb punk-oo-ation into the rag's bylines lol." ::GRIN:: It just seems to me that tabloids and internet message boards fall into the same genre of writing.

Strangely, that made me laugh a lot, more than the comic itself. LOL

I didn't like this one as much as some of your others, just because it was so wordy I guess. Sort of made me go squinty lol.

Though, I LOVE the little seal. You should draw more random animals. They always looks so fun in your style! (*coughPenguinscough*)

"I didn't like this one as much as some of your others, just because it was so wordy I guess. Sort of made me go squinty lol."

::NODS: Most people didn't like it, and I wonder if it's because of CC's diatribe, or because the storyline is moving slowly. I was tyring to give her speech a rambly feel, made humorous because she's so shallow and going on about shallow things. Didn't work. Message received! ::grin::

"Though, I LOVE the little seal. You should draw more random animals. They always looks so fun in your style! (*coughPenguinscough*)"

Thanks :D

	The mayor looks so precious from above, lmao! And the poor seal... the drugs were prescribed, but the important part is they were DRUGS OMG!!11!! ;D We're lost without celebrities to show us how to live!! Now, I want to see the inside of the magazine. I want to see pony fashion, big CK-esque full page ads, purfume folds.... ;) (Reply to this)
