Hey, wait a minute... how is Rarity driving?

I love you, Seth.

Ahaha, oh Sweetie Belle, the slow yet lovable CMC. Also, why is Rarity driving a car at the end? My whole world is falling apart!

TGPFluttershy said...

Poor, poor Sweetie Belle. Ironically enough, that reminds of that one scene in Bridesmaids.

mykowskis said...

My favorite part is how she's just driving.

O_O Rarity used a double negative!

No, but this comic is hilarious.

Sweetie Belle's face in the last panel is just priceless.

This stuff only makes me love that little airhead more! Season two needs more SB singing.

Rarity drives a mustang.

At least rarity is unable to ban her to the moon for that sort of thing...

You can't really blame Sweetie for being an airhead when her sister can't even use proper English...

Xenderkin said...

That explains the smell at A&F. Oh wait, they were at JC Pony.

So that explains why there was no toilet paper in that room...
And all the yelling when I left.

Ponies in cars. Success.

It wasn't her fault, the fabric was being dumb.

Simpsons did everything first

This, of course, leads to a question that has been eating at me for quite a while...

What do pony bathrooms look like? How do they work?

zorinlynx said...

What's funny is it took me a few moments to realize how wrong Rarity driving is, and now it's my favorite thing about this comic. It's wrong and hilarious at the same time!

I THINK THIS MAY HAVE STARTED A MEME.

Doctor-Whooves said...

Well to be fair, maybe if rarity told her to clean it up, she may have earned her cutie mark. I mean all occupations have a cutie mark, we haven't seen a custodian or janitor yet. ^_^

I dunno what's funnier. The joke or the fact she's driving a car.

Did Hasbro put out a Rarity in a car toy we don't know about?

Was a great comic though, loved it.

BTW, uhm, did the same thing when I was a kid LOL

TheguywithZeldasprites said...

Your friendly neighborhood spritesguy here to ruin things for you with fridge logic. Sweetie Belle being the sister of a clothier, wouldn't she have been to places that have dressing rooms before? Also, they'd need restrooms, for obvious reasons, but why do they need dressing rooms? They "don't normally wear clothes".

Krizak said...

@Anonymous
I've assumed they use squat toilets. Though Lyra probably owns the world's only pedestal toilet.

As for the comic, or rather, the article comment about the comic... all this time, I've been wondering why I see so many portrayals of Sweetie Belle as mentally deficient, and had been wondering where is came from. I guess I never associated her mistake in costume making as an indicator of stupidity; I just saw it as not properly focused on the big picture of the costume.

Streek471 said...

XD at the fact that she's driving a car.

Taylor said...

You'd be surprised how often this actually happens. Just ask a janitorial staff member at your local retail store of choice.

Rarity driving is best part.

She pulled a Homer Simpson.

dmtactical said...

All I can say is it better be a Renault Modus because I was right in the middle of drawing Rarity in a Modus when this post came up.

Arcane Scroll said...

@Krizak
I've always assumed squat toilets too, makes the most sense. Having used them a few times in the past, I can see how they would be the most common sense method.

Now, how long until someone draws Lyra on a toilet :)

Eddie Perkins said...

Poor Sweetie Belle. Everyone thinks you're slow just because you are.

Still my favorite CMC.

Gavin said...

@TGPFluttershysaw something like that in simpsons. such an old joke that never gets old

The first thing I said was why is Rarity driving a car? lol

I always thought she was a klutz, not slow.

However, I will never NOT laugh at these comics of SlowBell.

Dumb toilet paper.

And now I have to clean it up...

@TheguywithZeldasprites
By the power of : MAGIC !

...and magnetic sterring wheel, for non-unicorns.

They have to wear a magnetic hoof-glove thingy, to be able to 'move' the (magnetic) sterring wheel.
(Equestrian Inovation MUST patent this. ;))

Joe England said...

Man, that last panel... that is such an archetypal childhood experience. The aftermath of a particularly egregious screw up. Has anyone not been there? Strapped in the car with an deeply upset parent/guardian, so shamed that all you can do is stare blankly at nothing and pray that tomorrow comes quickly while you meekly take in their completely justifiable fury. That's such an inescapable part of growing up it makes cars spontaneously generate in Equestria.

Its official. Seat-belts are the new socks. how cute is that?

What? Sweetie Belle needs no reputation repair. She's the voice of reason for the CMCs.

Is it terrible that my first thought was not "bathroom?"

showmetheblueprints said...

@Krizak

There are several hints in the show that Sweetie Belle is slow.

Quoting from mlp.wikia.com:

"On several occasions, Sweetie Belle has seemed a bit slow on the uptake. Often times, she pauses for a moment before catching on. When the CMC are at Fluttershy's house in the episode Stare Master and Scootaloo and Apple Bloom pretend to be a monster from the Everfree Forest, Sweetie Belle meets their playfulness with a blank stare for a moment before joining in. Several times in The Show Stoppers, she asks her friends to explain to her what's going on. "

That said, I love Sweetie Belle, her hair is adorable.

...Um I mean uh... cars! Race cars and explosions. Yep!

Oh goodness. Sweetie Belle! Maybe she can sing her way out of it? That would be an interesting song...

The experience was so traumatizing that it made Rarity talk like Apple Jack.

Madmax is still best comic artist.

Aww, poor Sweetie Belle! She looks scared out of her mind.

Uh-ohs in stores, double negatives, and ponies driving cars with hooves.

ATTENTION.

This has occurred in real life.

Anonymous said...

Slow? No. Just not as hyper as the others.
If anything she's SMARTER than the other two-- as she's the only one to constantly urge the others to try something SAFER than whatever they're attempting at the moment.

Anonymous said...

So did she "export" her wastes or clop in there?

La Barata said...

Even Apple Bloom thinks that Sweetie Belle's brain damaged, that's the funny part.
"Oh, I WONDERED why all the colours looked like mud!"
"...You aren't using any power tools, are you?"

Now they'll mystically refuse when anyone asks them if they'd wish to tag along to the city.

If rarity hadn't annoyed blueblood so much you'd have been sent to the moon for this.

Unless you happen not to have power assisted steering, in which case you're fucked.

Actually, not really. I screwed up plenty but I was always in the back seat staring out the window while mom fumed up front. But man she could yell when we got home.

Loved the comic it was a great way to start my morning iwth a good bowl of lucky charms and a few laughs thanks to this comic! <3

(Bah forgot my DA password so posting this here! hope it gets seen some how ><)

Ahh Sweetie Belle, you are a very very SPECIAL pony. :)

And for those getting on Madmax's case for the double negitive. If I recall shes not an English speaker.

Ardashir said...

@Sweetie Belle -- Aww, no one thinks that you're dumb, dear! You're a little filly, you'll have, ahem, accidents once in a while.

Now, if you did the same thing when you were 20 or 30... (Yes, I've worked in stores where this happened. No, you don't want to know any more.)

Phantom5niper said...

Poor Sweetie Belle

Shadow Dragon said...

Yeah, Sweetie Bell is probably the slow one of the CMC. Even though Rarity is her older sister, she didn't know what a mannequin was. Also, in episode 17, Stare Master, she didn't know what upset the chickens (despite it being her singing) and it took her a couple moments to figure out why Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were dressed like a monster. Still though, she's cute as hell and I love her expression in the last panel.

Anonymous said...

I hope they don't change Sweetie Belle's mental state, however slow it may be. In fact that is what I love most about her. She's just so darn cute when doesn't quite get what's going on around her. Kind of reminds me of Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

I knew what a ponyquin was, I just didn't know what it was for. I see figures like that in store windows all the time back home in Manehatten. How was I supposed to know they made dresses on them?

@Nichon I assumed the CMCs were around 10-12, she probably is.

@Sweetie Belle We've all had moments like that at one point or another, as a young colt I did some pretty clueless things myself.

So I just edited the image to fix the double negative and then read on here that she already fixed it .. oh well here's the link anyways (I went with "can't ever" instead of "can never"):

Shotgun Chuck said...

As to the car and people wondering what it is. It appears to be some kind of anachronism. The interior is mid-90s to mid 2000s (Chrysler Concorde? 300M? Knowing Rarity, I wouldn't be surprised). THe mirrors, though, appear perfectly round, which hasn't been done in quite a while as far as I know.

Now that I've posted this, I'm sure my guesses based on a large-but-patchy knowledge of cars will be blown apart by someone who owns/owned a Concorde/300M and knows it looks different.

Anyway, the closest I can come is an 810-series Nissan Bluebird, but that may not even have the right mirror shape and it's a bit too old to have an interior that looks like that.

Julz said...

Um, typo. In the last panel, Rarity said "We CAN'T never go back to that store again." DOub;e negative. Also, what did Sweetie Belle think it was? Do I even want to know?
