Hey there, everypony! It's comic time! Yay, comic time. Today's fare deals with the vast reaches of reality beyond the scope of our every day lives. Deep stuff! Above, please find enclosed a lovely little comic in which Granny Smith explains to three young crusaders where the stars and constellations came from.

I don't even know what to say about the second comic.

theuncalledfor said...

YES, DIE, TELEVISION, DIE!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHH!

That'll teach you not give poor Pinkie such horrible nightmares! *shudder* Human Pinkie... I'm going to be sick.

I need to know who made the first one, it's true to the show, has frigging good shading, excellent glowy eyes, and overall it's incredibly amazing

KShrike said...

First one is cute.
Second one is a pocket full of creepy........ >.>

Krass McWriter said...

Comic #2 reminded me of that part early on in "Conker's Bad Fur Day"

*evil weasel doctor smacks giant choclate bar*

"OUT THE FUCKIN' WINDOW!"

Amazing first one :)

I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, but Jeffrey Combs Pony is now Best Pony.

starcat5 said...

The promo image for the second comic made me start singing "Move Your Dead Bones" from Beyond Re-Animator. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFG8sMzDH94 ) ...then I saw the actual comic and was violently ill.

...now, I must ask, if the comic was NOT based on the Re-Animator series, but instead on a Lovecraft story, what story WAS it?

reynard61 said...

What does the text on that bottle say? I don't read Russian/Slavonic/Bulgarian.

I don't think Pinkie would worry if she was human. She doesn't worry about much anyway.

Anonymous said...

The first one doesn't make any sense to me
Oo

Little Star Swirl soon grieved she couldn't light the sky for everypony and she wanted to choose her own path. When she couldn't take it anymore, she shot up towards the heavens and like a firework exploded.

wat?

Creative Blitz said...

First picture needs a fanfic based off it.

Blur said...

Is the second one based on "The Island of Dr. Moreau?" I feel like it's that... Still. Cannot unsee. Great first comic, Too!

Leeky said...

#1 So Pretty...

SonofMrPeanut said...

Does that shot of Granny Smith make anyone else want a Bone crossover?

Anonymous said...

Dammit, now I want the Star Swirl toy. Shame she only comes as a double pack. :(

Love the fact the doctor is Russian

ohgodohgodohgod little starswirl is so cute i might cry.

Veggie said...

The first one, the colours are just so...warm, it feels like it's actually being told to me, very awesome!

The bottle says: "Store in a dry cool place, out of reach of foals. Use only as directed."

[Translation note: The second sentence is literally "Is prescription medicine.", but "Use only as directed." is the corresponding phrase/disclaimer on American medicine.]

Mr.Brony said...

Source for first comic please

Imagine if StarSwirl becomes the new favourite OC pony

Anonymous said...

Star Swirl is awesome

Cyberfox said...

@Anonymous
She flew into the sky and exploded. What's not to get? :D

Cyberfox said...

@Mr.Brony
Agh, sorry for the double post, but I need to point this out. She's not an OC; she's one of the toys. She became more widely known through a contest on Ponychan.

Sakuya said...

Actually I made the comic about StarSwirl. You can find it here: http://sakuyamon.deviantart.com/#/d3jrvnb

It was made for a contest on Ponychan, which I won. The price was a Raritys Carriage with Starswirl.

Octavia said...

The first comic actually kinda made me a little sad. Poor Star Swirl. :( I hope she's still out there searching for her own path. lol Also, I agree with above comments that it was very beautifully done.

I'm not certain on the exact reference of the second comic, but I know it's familiar. Pinkie chucking the TV reminds me of Poltergeist for some reason. lol

Octavia said...

@Sakuya

Well, congrats on the win. :)

Bugsydor said...

The first one: Beautiful.
The second one: 0_o

Bobbyzero said...

Did she explode again?

This is proof that not enough people have read Herbert West: Re-Animator, or even see the movie. Excellent comics.

Shadowflyer said...

One thing to say about the second one. HAWT!

Anonymous said...

The first one is incredibly drawn, not to mention sweet. The second one is cool too, I love ReAnimator

Anonymous said...

@starcat5
herbert west reanimator lovecraft wrote the novella the reanimator series was based on

Anonymous said...

The Star Swirl one is just.... GORGEOUS. And a little sad... a fanfic with StarSwirl would be sweet.

D'Artagnan Rossfeld said...

@starcat5
the original Re-Animator story, from which Re-Animator is based on.

D'Artagnan Rossfeld said...

@Octavia
how the fuck could you not know its Re-Animator

Firleycat said...

Wait, Pinkie's hair goes flat when she goes to bed. I thought she would just rap it into a large bun and used it as a pillow. Well, you learn something new every day.

lulztopus said...

Herbert West the Great Re-Animaretor?

Anonymous said...

first gave me goosebumps from epicness.. not even kidding

Otherunicorn said...

both were great for their own reasons

thehivemind33 said...

Darn, I was like "Heck yeah I know it's Herbert West-Reanimator, please don't let anypony else say it ye- NOOOOOO!!!"

Anonymous said...

the bad thing about doing a comic if the transition from pony to human... they are clothes-less as pony and would blow the rating if put into a comic.

i'd like a ponyfication :P

i know right?

ZombiePink said...

That first one is amazing. I love the story (is that an OC pony? Who cares!) and the art.... wowza!

Anonymous said...

THat first one with star swirl was really nice. I love mythological/fable stories like that.

Anonymous said...

@ZombiePink
Starswirl is one of the pony toys.

Anonymous said...

The grammar in the Star Swirl story is atrocious, but the art is grand.

ZombiePink said...

@Anonymous

Hey, thanks! Makes it even better, IMO.

Anonymous said...

Hmm... that humanizer...

...we must find the antidote...

Tenortrouble said...

YES!! There are so many Lovecraft fans within the Brony fanbase! I LOVE IT!!!!

Wierdplatformer said...

1. I like this idea!
2. You go Pinkie Pie, chuck that TV!

James Corck said...

The first comic looks gorgeous. So many colors, so many wonders <3 I am not so sure about the narrative, though.

The second one is just hilarious XD

Shredder said...

The one with Pinkie Pie is funnier if you imagine the science pony has a thing for humans.

Anonymous said...

First comic is great.
Second comic is funny and that human version of Pinkie is quite attractive. (I've seen worser versions)

Anonymous said...

@Firleycat I'm assuming her hair deflated due to her dream upsetting her.

Anonymous said...

i'm guessing that the starswirl comic either inspired the fanfic "her illustrive highness" or vice versa. not sure.
