Well, I'm sure there's glue in Equestria!The ponies probably make it and sell it like everything else because you know, glue is made from....horses...oh...OH GOD.

Applejack, you are not alone.

Not a fan of the cupcakes reference.

Other than that, fun.

DareDreamer said...

Man, I love the art style of the first comic! Funny, too. The second cracked me up XD Poor AJ

Cupcakes....I shall never see Pinkie Pie the same 0_0

Too bad she's one of my favorites D=

TenchiFreak5 said...

I don't quite get the punchline for the first one, but it is still hilarious.

And the second one is pure gold, Cupcakes reference and all.

Daffodil said...

Luna's too cute in the first one.

Aw, poor Applejack. You don't just like Apples, you like 3 APPLES!!!! That's sooooo much better than just Apples.


.....Until you run out.... Gasp!

Glue? But glue is made from...

*GASP*

NO WONDER THEY DON'T HAVE ANY GRAVEYARDS, WHEN SOMEPONY DIES, THEY CONVERT THE CORPSE INTO GLUE AND OTHER HORSE-BASED PRODUCTS!

That actually sounds rather efficient, but also extremely disturbing and morally upsetting.

Do I smell a reference here?

DJ Kat said...

Wow, the joke in the 2nd one went over my head, then smacked me.

Naxts said...

Aww. Well It don't matter none cause we still <3 Applejack.

KatalusTalrius said...

@Anonymous

You very much smell a reference there, brony.

Anonymous said...

While I don't really get the first one, I will say that's the cutest Luna I've ever seen and the weirdest-faced Celestia I've ever seen.

Second one: Lol, physics teacher cupcakes and apples. (The apples could represent... Nah, I can't think of anything. It's just apples. wtf)

~Dark~

kwj said...

ah like apples¡¡¡

Aquaman52 said...

For the record, I totally already covered the "Pinkie Pie makes glue" thing in the last 300-word fic contest.

I'll just go ahead and stroke my ego until it believes this is a reference to that POS I crapped out in ten minutes on the bus to school.

So basically, Equestria is exactly like Earth in Soylent Green?
Interesting.

And so the battle between the two godessess commences.

Star Gazer said...

Luna's so cute heh. Can't you take a little joke there Celestia?!

Aquaman52 said...

@KatalusTalrius

I don't know why that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this too, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

I'm pretty sure glue in Equestria would be made from peanuts or something like that.

supervanman64 said...

Ohgosh, why the reference in panel 2 D:

Wierdplatformer said...

1. Glue can be made fom milk.

2. "The fruit of the apple trees are associated with health, for their abundance of medicinal uses, from cleansing the teeth to relieving indigestion, to releiving fevers and much more.

Another interpretation is that apples signify liberality, felicity, peace, and salvation. Fruit of all kinds was considered to be evidence of God's kindness and a symbol of the goodness of providence."

Just thought I'd let you all know

You can make glue out of a lot of things people. No need to jump to conclusions!

And what's wrong with liking apples, those other ponies are just looking way too deeply into their own shitty cutie marks >:[

videomaster21xx said...

For those who don't get the punchline of the first comic.

"Get me the Pink one"

Who else would you call to prank someone back but Pinkie Pie? >:D

Skylark Torch said...

Ah wonder what Celestia will assign Pinkie to do to Luna... Comic #1 "The Pink one" that is pinkie right?

Skylark Torch said...

it would help if I read other comments before posting... oops

fieryShaman said...

@ a href #c6435292518516466569 >Star Gazer /a>

Sure she can... She just wants 'the pink one' to help plan her counter-prank...

FangShaymin said...

Ah like apples, too.

SOYLENT GLUE IS PONIES! AAAAAAHH!!!!

You know that most glue is synthetic, right?

RainbowSprinkles said...

Vegan glue, sillyheads.

Chris Meadows said...

At least an apple is a more useful cutie mark than a diamond tiara.

Heh… What with Pinkie in the first comic and apples in the second, now I have this image of a mischievous Pinkie Pie, and Apple, a magic marker, and the inscription, "For the cutest."

Randomjack said...

Lol @Applejack's and Pinkie Pie's cutie marks...

Apples and Apple accessories!

ToonNinja said...

Synthetic glue, marshmallows made out of the original mallow plants... why must everypony insist on cannibalism when there's clearly other options?

Also, poor Applejack. No deep symbolism behind her cutie mark.

Sun Ray said...

AH LIKE APPLES

That's great!

Torrential Rains said...

Aw...
If I didn't have a past with her, and I wasn't dating Fluttershy, I'd hug AJ!

BagOfChips said...

Marshmellows are made out of rarity.

Why do so many artists make Luna look so cute?

Chythar said...

Hey fellow bronies, I'm the one that commissioned the artist (Ajin) to draw that comic last weekend. The glue has no sinister meaning at all, I had completely forgotten that glue was once been made from animals long ago. Luna is simply playing a prank on her sister. Celestia is most definitely calling for Pinkie Pie to help her get revenge, but it sounds much more dramatic to call her "the pink one". Ajin came up with this particular prank, I just asked him to draw Luna pranking Celestia.

I'm thinking of asking Ajin to draw more comics of Luna's pranks. My next idea is to have Luna sneak some pink dye into Celestia's shampoo, and have Celestia come out of the shower dyed pink like her toys. Which will piss off Celestia to no end, of course. I'd love to hear your ideas too. Let me know what pranks you thing Luna should pull on some unsuspecting pony!

Hey Apples are cool. DON'T DISS APPLES. Don't feel bad AJ you have your fans.

Andrew said...

Applejack is honest like a good old fashioned apple that isn't trying to live up to anyone's expectations.

You can hire PinkiePool, but it's gonna' cost ya'.

Anonymous said...

I always thought that Applejack's cutie mark symbolizes her love for her family, you know, the Apple family.

Anonymous said...

i thought she was talking of bringing the pink celestia or sth like that

Drew Pickles' secretary said...

Besides the synthetic solution, maybe there're consenting organ donors?

kriss1989 said...

@BagOfChips ...wait what? Marshmallows are made out of sugar. You mean jello, which is powdered bones. Or at least it used to be.

Get me the pink one! Prank-vengeance is needed!

Edinpony said...

Hnnnnnnngh!

Luna is so cute!

Kill me, I'm a PONY said...

On glue: I run with the horse-based-instead-of-synthetic products gags just because of the vague tech levels of Equestria (Electricity having been discovered but still not having largely replaced candles, hoof-held cameras, etc). And for the lulz.

On cutie marks: I choose to believe that Cherilee was just BSing for effect during that lecture. Seriously, ponies would need to have interpreted cutiemarks after they are obtained, so the level of detail behind them is really subjective, not pre-planned (like it could be with a tattoo.

tl;dr
-Glue is made of PONIES (and lulz)
-Cherilee == Champion BSer

Luna's face...so priceless

Glue = condemned criminals or perhaps an alternative to burial/cremation?

Anonymous said...

Actually glue can be made from any animal.
Maybe we've found the real use for cows in Equestria?

Sorrowful said...

I can't be the only one to figure out Twilight's cutie mark -- that is, the 5 stars (her 5 element of harmony friends) around the center symbol (herself as element of magic).

That would make Twilight's cutie mark a bit different from the others in that it doesn't show a special talent -- it showed a 'prophecy'.

Grif said...

Needs to have 20% more lulz.

Ergo, moar!

Firleycat said...

I always though that the Apple family were a bit screwed over with their cutie marks. All they have is fruit which, when compared to the likes of Rainbow Dash's or Twilight's, is kind of lame. Though I suppose its better than having a pitchfork or a ho as your cuite mark.

Mysterymeato said...

The apples symbolize the fruits of hard labor.

Anonymous said...

Funny, I came up with a completely different interpretation of the punchline for the first comic. I thought Pinkie Pie had put Luna up to it (teaching her some pranks), Celestia found out, and was summoning "the pink one" to face some divine justice.

Sunflower Seed said...

I thought the Pink one was Celestia suspecting prankster pony Pinkie Pie of the prank.

Anonymous said...

Uh.. Glue is made of hoof material.. well Centuries of having Celestia's hooves being manicured and shaped and shod shoud provide enough clippings to make all the glue needed.

I wouldn't want to see what is made from Big Mac's Clippings

kinkyturtle said...

I also object to the reference to That Damn Fanfic in panel 2. Unless that's not really what it is, and the rest of her speech continued as follows:

"...but I think he failed me on purpose so one day I invited him to my place for cupcakes and he said they were so delicious he gave me half a point extra so I got a D- and I was so happy I threw a party and invited all my friends! ...Wait, what were we talking about again?"

ph00tbag said...

Why can't it be a plant-based glue?

Anonymous said...

@Torrential Rains Wait? what kind of history did you have with the pony most likely to hogtie a Pikachu for stealing apples?

@kinkyturtle

Reference is intentional ;D

I would've been the same way, but with time I got over the cupcakes fanfic :/ The reference was added last minute.

So... Deal with it.

SCREW THE CUPCAKES!!!
It's a horrible, horrible fic.

Rocket to Insanity is way better!!
(even tough you need to read cupakes to understand it)

Also there are also glues that aren't made of animals so...

I actually don't think they make glue out of ponies in Equestria...
What if...and bare with me here...what if it's the other way around there? What if glue is made from HUMANS?! D:

James Vivien said...

Oh god. Cupcakes reference. I made the mistake of reading that horror story, and ever since I feel sick every time it's referenced.
