Comics: Batcolt/Animation is Magic


So, comic time. This batch is a bit... eclectic. To start us off, Blimpslap is here to show us a little bit about what it means to be a hero in Equestria. You might think it's all Elements of Hamony and necklaces you only wear once a season (watch it happen, ponies!), but you would be wrong. There's much, much more, a sort of deep search for inner meaning that's sure to take your breath away.

And once you're finished with that, have this lovely offering that I have been lead to believe comes to us from a Friendship is Magic animator, but I have zero sources on this so please don't take my word is law. Regardless of where this thing comes from, I have to imagine it's absolutely the truth of what goes on at Studio B. Someday I'm going to sneak in there and find out!

The source was actually not Studio B! You can find it under the image.

Uh oh, Phoe, Batcolt link is broken.

If I had a nickel for every time I thought that...

Luonnos said...

You need to trim the ".jpg" off of the end of the first link.

ShadowFox04 said...

Bit of an error on the first one. .png.jpg Both great comics though, that second one is far too true.

Vintage VCR said...

http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=batcolt#/d47ftci for anyone looking for the first comic.

Mr.MooMoo said...

Hmm.. Concentrating on the "plot" much?

@Pen Stroke

Delete the .jpg off the end of the DA url it sends you to. For some reason the link is .png.jpg instead of .png

The first comic is

"I have never concentrated so hard on drawing a horse's ass." Ha! Never seen my friend's self portraits then? *ba dum tish!*

foxhound said...

That second comic is so true.

That second comic is so true.

Dr.Brony said...

Dat plot is quite hard to draw

moocow1452 said...

Na nana na, nana nana, na nana na, nana nana, Batmane!

John said...

Batcolt comic: Oh. God. Yes. You did the opening to Batman TAS! YES!!!

And Batcolt would have a Twilight bumper sticker... :P

Timber said...

File not found on the batcolt one

rasrap-smurf said...

I'm really liking the recent increase in Phoe posts.

Nice double extension fail.

Vinyl Scratch said...

Heh - Even the Dark Knight can't escape the Twilight Vector!

ZAquanimus said...

oh god, that 2nd one,
I know all too well.

Trollestia said...

I laughed a bit at the second comic, then I got the first one working and i laughed for ages, its the cardboard cutout that put me over the edge. Its going up in the word.

Hilltopper said...

*Steven Magnet* It's Soooo TRUE! */sm*

xXFAT PIGXx said...

I had that same epiphany from the second one a while back. Simply incredible.

mat-shades said...

*takes deep breath*

I actually agree on the second one, I would spend a lot of time just to get the flank to look right

RainbowDat said...

The first link is broken, but I viewed it through the copy/paste comments. Didn't make any sense.
# 2 made me lol. So true, so true.

1. 404
2. I imagine the thought must creep into their minds at some point during production

Muffinsforever said...

"Pert pony butts"

That's what I was told when I began drawing, and I will always remember it.

Problem is, "pert" is hard to master.

Solar Flair said...

I firmly support Batmare over Batcolt. It just sounds better. But I think I saw someone say 'Batmane' above? That could work :3 and it's gender neutral.

Speaking of super heroes, I made old school DareDevil earlier this week!

XD and I love the 2nd one. That's what almost everyone is going to think at some point in this fandom.

Mattatatta said...

That second comic: I know that feel, bro

pmcollectorboy said...

Mmmm. Elements of Hamony. *Homer drool*

Namefag Anon said...

I'VE GOT IT! remove the .jpg from the end of the URL on the first comic

lulz at the cardboard Twilight

Tosxychor said...

The Twilight cutout... HAHAHAHA X°D Oh Celestia that will never fail to amuse me.

The Toonfreak said...

Wierdplatformer said...

Haha, nice...

Oh, the things we come up with!

Jesus said...

The 2nd one is so true.

Bronode said...

One must always take care to create a finely crafted plot.

Sketchy Sounds said...

Saw the Batmane one a while ago.

It still cracks me right up.

Firleycat said...

Anyone else picturing the Batmobile playing the 8 bit version of the theme tune as it drives by? That should strike fear into the hearts of criminals.

I always though every animator would have that realization at some point. I remember seeing a documentary about the making of Bambi and one scene had a group of animators sketching a live deer. I always wondered if one of them just stopped for a moment and wondered "What have I gotten myself into?" I'm glad that so many work past it and do awesome work, but It must be a hard moment to deal with when it comes.

Timber said...

Ok now I wish the Batcolt link hadn't been fixed... SO WRONG!! SO VERY WRONG!!!

Pony In Chief said...

I was thinking, when did Cereal choose to improve his vocabulary?
It'll take time to get used to not always reading sarcastic, exclamation filled posts.

jaxxdatraxx said...

to the second comic: you and me both. I realized something was odd when I said to myself, "Its not big enough!!"

Calnos said...

Batmane isn't the hero Manehatten deserves, but he's the hero it needs.

Gadvac said...

2nd one is almost for certain from a Bronytoons animator, not an FiM animator.

pmcollectorboy said...

I don't care what Batmane is driving. It's still better than the movies' Batmotank.

Atiarotias said...

Cardboard Twi!! YES!

Octavia said...

lol Bottom panel of that first comic, oh jeez. He even has the Twilight cutout. Nice. "Its dangerous to go alone. Take this!"

Second comic, lmao.

dmtactical said...

Looks like the cardboard cutout is here to stay. Every vehicle in Ponyville must have one.

Flutterguy said...

Yay, the comic I submitted got posted (second one) and it comes from Bronytoons

Xzite said...

Well, #2 is a bit offensive, the correct term is "pony"!

Cátsy said...

I had to rush my hands over my face so fast as to not wake up my roomies from the fits of laughter that Batpony comic gave me.. and as I go to see the second one eventually I giggled more then I should have I guess xD

ActionScripter9109 said...

Pen got first post? That's unheard of.

silentcarto said...

Aw, man, I had the Animated Series theme running in my head until that last frame. Then I heard the mental equivalent of a record scratch.

The second comic is still making me giggle.

Voltaire said...

The second one is one I can relate to. Not that easy to get the curve just right D:
