Comic: A Sight for Really Sore Eyes (Updated and Completed!)

Source
Guess what, everypony? I'm still employed here! (Haha, it's so funny that I ever worried they could get rid of me!) That means more comics, more meandering introductory paragraphs, and more adorable little ponies doing the things that adorable little ponies do! I'll bet you can hardly contain your excitement!

Set your faces to d'aww, because the following images contain diabetes-inducing amounts of marshmallow equines experiencing feelings. With their hearts. Which are made of... I dunno, gummis, I guess? We never did get around to figuring out their insides. Which is neither here nor there. Enjoy some PinkieShy!

Pinkie Floyd said...

t-arndt said...

WHYYYY

Roman500 said...

My heart, it is full of the sad.

The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor said...

YES! I can't BELIEVE that this made it to EqD! SCORE! I know the entire 8 pages of comics before almost everypony else! YES! One is SO psyched! 8D Can't wait to see part nine on DA, buddy! The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor approves of this comic! 8D

kwj said...

man this is really and i love it

Falkenad said...

Wow these are kinda sad now I need some happy comics.

NDupree93 said...

well, I'm usually averse to most shipping stuff, but this is at least being handled in a sweet sorta way.

I like it, hopefully we'll see some more soon.

Octavia said...

Glad to hear it Phoe. :P As for talking about the different treats they're comprised of... mmmm, makes me want to eat them. o.O

Fluttershy!? No! :'( And she's still her extremely sweet self even after what happened. <3 This comic is very cute and sweet. I look forward to seeing more of it.

NinesTempest said...

Been following this on dA.

It's sad but still uplifting. Poor Pinkie. Though, I have to play a little bit of devil's advocate; setting up a tree branch to hit anypony isn't really the nicest prank.

Ace of Swords said...

Considering Pinkie and Fluttershy are voiced by the same actress... is she accidentally pranking herself?

Ragona said...

Even if Pinkieshy is a hard concept for me, I don't mind it since its in comic form. Everything is easier with pics.

Also, why was she going to whip Big Mac in the face with a branch?

Ace of Swords said...

@Ragona

She wasn't, Big Mac's about half a head taller than the girls. She'd never do a thing like that.

Pinkie was trying to crush his windpipe.

BND said...

Glad to see that these made it up here. :D

Dr.Cthulu said...

@Ragona
Pinkie pie is a prankster as demonstrated in Griffon the Brush Off

David said...

Well, pack up the comments section, Ace of Swords wins this round.

JoeyH said...

I've been following these comics on dA since the first few pages were posted. These are really amazing comics with beautiful artwork. Plus it's a lot of fun watching SpeccySY draw them on LiveStream.

The story that these comics are based on is equally as amazing - easily one of my very favorites.

DPV111 said...

Everyone ships Rainbow Dash with everypony just cause she's the most tomboyish. But really Pinky Pie is the one who can ship with anypony just because she is love. Love happiness and joy.

NinesTempest said...

@Dr.Cthulu
Oh, yes, I'm sure whipping people in the face with branches is totally the coolest funniest prank ever.

Flutterguy said...

Confound these ponies, they make me feel...emotion.

NinesTempest said...

@Ace of Swords

... Well.

What else can I say???

greenie-pie said...

I don't really get the premise for the trap, but I do really like the story so far. Sad, but good!

DPV111 said...

@Ace of Swords
Unless she was expecting BM to be going in the opposite direction in which case she was only trying to smack dat plot.

Pinkamina Diane Pie said...

Wow. I read the story the comic was based on, and it is filled with d'awww. I almost got diabetes after reading it, and after reading the comic!

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

Wait, wait... just got to clear something up.

"Still employed"? As in "is an employee". As in "gets payed for doing this". As in "gets payed for posting ponies".

Did I miss the sign up sheet for "best job ever"?

RainbowDasher said...

i hate parts... artists should make the whole thing THEN publish it :D

Wierdplatformer said...

For me, this comic was okay. Not bad, mind you, just a little shaky on the premise.

Poco said...

This is horribly sad. Poor Fluttershy. :(

roxasomega said...

I'm not too into shipping but for some reason I'm drawn to this. I love stories like this one, can anyone suggest any others?

Warp said...

Blood? WHAT? I'LL KILL YOU PINKIE- Fluttershy has spoken! Pinkie Pie is forgiven!

Cold in Gardez said...

So wait, why was Pinkie trying to kill Big Mac?

Jesus Christ, ponies go to jail after doing stuff like this.

Also, wtf:

Pinkie: I'm sorry I nearly blinded you with my idiotic, dangerous prank

Fluttershy: It's okay, I forgive you

Nurse: She'll won't go blind as long as someone responsible cleans her eyes every few hours

Rainbow Dash: Pinkie has never done anything irresponsible! She's perfect!

duffdawg said...

Teasing the PinkieDash fans in the first part trololo

EHeroFlareNeos said...

Despite any flaws in the writing, I kind of like this comic anyway. It's at least decent.

Ford said...

I'm not sure if this is sad or touching.

Spikely Whiplash said...

A Pinkamena that isn't homicidal? THAT'S a sight for sore eyes.

g1 - Sindiewen said...

This brought a tear to my eye.

James Corck said...

This is a very sad comic :( But it's really well drawn and written :D So it rocks!

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

Cute comic, really nicely done.

Btw, on the subject of Pinkamina, thanks to whoever mentioned the ask pinkamina Diane pie tumblr on here a few days back.

That's normally the sort of thing I'd run a mile from, but it's so well done, and the way pinkamina's drawn is pretty adorable, in an odd way.

Ircza The Prophet said...

Oh my god! Don't hurt fluttershy anymore! I dare you.

This comic made me sad :(

patroison said...

Lol. Well this certainly was a surprise. I found out from a message that SpeccySY's comic was up.

Yay! I hope there is much D'AWW shared. :)

Firleycat said...

For a sad comic like this, That picture of Rainbow Dash at the bottom of page 2 made me laugh. And now I feel awful because of it.

Its a nice comic anyway, I should keep an eye on it.

Boo Dude5 said...

Read it. Then proceded to shove back tears after being intruiged to the actual fic.

Then made 5 other people feel it too. 4 of which weren't even bronies.

bronydash said...

I was interested until shipping. Honestly, it doesn't even make sense. Smh...

Apsuenbwyfer11 said...

i've nearly been blinded like this before x_o
lucky it was only one eye. i couldn't see out of it for a week. It happened from a tree branch, too! at least i got to wear an eye patch for a while :P that made me feel better. poor fluttershy...

also, the artist said there would be about 15 pages. plenty of time for pinkie to get to feel better about what happened :D

Ironlenny said...

Fluttershy is blind, and hates Pinkie Pie? Best Comic Ever.

blindredquine said...

@Cold in Gardez
"Fluttershy: It's okay, I forgive you"

While I can see your point, this is Fluttershy we are talking about. Plus people doing stupid things and then stepping up to be responsible when they realize the consequences is the natural grist of stories such as this.

DatBrony said...

WOW, I loved the fanfic, but didn't know that the comic itself got popular! ;D

AwesomePonies said...

So page 8 loaded before page 7 for me. The last panel is scary out of context.

Gadvac said...

I can't wait for the next page!

@Apsuenbwyfer11
Oh, jeez, that sounds bad. (I could see the eye patch cheering you up. I mean seriously, pirate.)

SkyrimOrBust said...

TBH I'm not a huge fan... It went from one second RD and PP talking and the next, de feckin' hospital. Felt very condensed. Not bad, but... meh.

Logan Warner said...

Would indeed be better with maybe one more page for what has happened so far. More time about that they're pranking Big Mac (instead of "oh hey Fluttersy's not Big Mac") and including RD initially thinking of a colt as Pinkie's crush (that part was kind of hilarious.)

:3 said...

Feels like Korean shipping O_ô ...And I barely know what this means...

Sdash said...

What happens next what happens next! D=

Nilsareth said...

hey um Phoe I think we need to talk... wait free brushings AND icecream nevermind
[](/b14)

Muffinsforever said...

anc?

Still like it tho.

thecure said...

I still would like to know how you restrain a unicorn. I mean isn't magic the solve all to prison breaks?

Bombedrumbum said...

Phoe, as seen in the last drawfriend, has gone mad with power. This, my friends, is a good thing. Phoe, you are truly amazing!! :D

Nilsareth said...

woah! um i think link 9 is a little broken O_o

rockerman100 said...

damn got this from reddit about 4 mins before posted here

Biopony said...

I think you need to fix the link for #9, someponies might not like what's in there.

Incorporatedstates said...

This was on ponib. a while ago, but still good.

ChaosDX1 said...

The link to page 9 seems to be broken.

Bombedrumbum said...

I wanted my brushies, Phoe, but link nine was broken. Looks like im gonna hafta ask pinkie pie for some cupcakes.....

Saylisk said...

I don't ship same-sex pairings, but the adorability of Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie in these comics is DEAFENING.

MaximillianVeers said...

MY heart melted. <3

Pssst, BTW, Seth, Cereal, I'm standing by with a big net, just in case. *wink*

Phlourescent said...

@NinesTempest
*Shrugs*
Sounded pretty funny to me, not necessarily a prank but you still get the same general reaction.

Bloomberg said...

Oh my jebus, I lurved this series of comics, and the Speccysy, all my d'aww brony! And the last page panels 4 & 6? Critical levels of cute.

It's so adorable, it inspires me to art! But first I have to learn how... I'm off to make poorly drawn ponies!

Whitbane said...

Fantastic.
Just beautiful.

CharginChuck said...

Seth, I don't hate you or anything, and to tell the truth I'm even glad you're back. But if it comes down to it, I'm with Team Phoe. Just letting you know.

MagicLlama said...

Does anyone have alternate links for this? 9-14 won't load on my itouch

MagicLlama said...

@MagicLlama
Actually 10-14 are alright. I just need page 9

ZigZag said...

Oh my god.

I think I've died. My heart failed multiple times reading that comic. I'm not usually one for same-sex shipping, but... this is just adorable, and heartwarming, and... and... HNNNNG.

Masterfully done.

ELT said...

Tis a PinkieShy ship comic? =/ Im sorry but that premise just sounds way out of nowhere to me :U

banannagram said...

For those that are complaining about the broken link, the artist has all the links in all the descriptions. You click them, and then you go there.

frederic said...

It was... okay.

I just really don't see Pinkie and Fluttershy as a viable shipping pairing. They are friends, for sure. But in love? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

NightStarX said...

Alright...

My feelings on this, is that I really didn't appreciate the forced, and somewhat insulting "shipping" angle to this whole thing.

THAT HAVING BEEN SAID, this was a very, very good comic, and was extremely well done.

So, i'm just going to pretend that the whole "I really really like her" and the "I love you too" thing was just a super syrupy, "best friends forever" kind of love.

Suddenly the comic becomes perfect, looking at it that way.

Cyaniede said...

I super d'awwed at the end for so long, that people started staring.

Swiftest Shadow said...

Just an FYI, there's a mistake in link 9.

showmetheblueprints said...

I generally don't like shipping, but I can handle a bit. I really don't like this completely random ass shipping pair of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. I mean, what the hell? It makes NO sense. And while I am ranting about shipping, I just don't see Pinkie shipping, ever. She doesn't really even feel that deep of emotions (sorry, but it is pretty true) besides paranoia/anger/sadness in one episode. In fact, I remember reading something Faust was saying on the topic of their ages, and that their personalities ranged from 12-22. Yeah, guess which one would be 12.

Whew, got my weekly rant in.

In other news, the art style in this comic is adorable.

GumballCrash said...

Amazing comic. The emotion was almost palpable...

If Friendship is Magic, then what is Love?

SkaFox64 said...

I will not enjoy any PinkieShy, thank you very much.

Kesono said...

@NightStarX

I would have to go with this entirely. Loved the comic, but I'm not entirely settled on PinkiexFluttershy shippings.

Though I believe this guy just simply made the comic from an already existing fanfic.

McClellan97 said...

@Dr. Henry Killinger
I concur. OMG that sounds like the greatest job in the world. My mind would explode from the awesomeness but it would be worth it.

Bobbyzero said...

Lost my shit at comic #9. Might want to check your copy-pasta Phoe, you just porn'd us. hahah.

Tom said...

This is the first time I've liked a shipping-type thing. Not sure if ashamed.

Screwball said...

...

Dat Page 9 mislink.

B-Man said...

@Bombedrumbum

It's not actually broken. but it is the wrong link. I'm just going to leave it at that and say that it should probably be changed.

TheBlackBaron said...

Eh, PinkieShy is better than PinkieDash, in any event. Gotta agree with showmetheblueprints, though, I just can't really see any shipping with Pinkie at all.

Mind you, it's not like there's any real "evidence" for any pairing. All shipping works are based entirely on fan imaginations.

So, with that in mind...this is super d'aaaaaw and extremely well drawn. So it's all good.

MCXD said...

Why is shipping such SERIOUS BUSINESS? I mean, to be frank, it's very unlikely any of the mane 6 will fall in love with any of the mane 6.

I dunno, maybe you have to be into shipping (I'm not) to understand how in this case one pair of better than another pair. But to me love is love no matter who it's between.

I actually found the comic extremely adorable. I really enjoyed it.

Pnk xmewmewx said...

9 is here http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/248/b/a/sight_for_really_sore_eyes_9_by_speccysy-d48yh8z.png

Rainbow Smashly said...

That was a life changing experience. I cant keep it all in anymore...DAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Mattwo said...

@TheBlackBaron

To the contrary, I'm sure most people would see AJ and RD's intense rivalry as a perfect excuse to ship them.

Plus if anypony would be a lesbian besides RD it'd be her.

Not that I'm saying they are, but I do find it odd that no one has made that connection yet...

Stargazer said...

lol, that turned out so cute... I wanna cheer pinkie on!

Collonnello said...

OMG T_T SO GREAT. TwilightRarity? just askin, BUT D'AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW DIS COMIC!

Collonnello said...

@MCXD i like the "mane" pun =D

Whitbane said...

Oh Christ, Dat link #9.

Someone fix eet, quickly.

Makes me wonder how it got screwed up. *Looks at Phoe.*

I'm not sure that my initial reaction after almost being blinded by a prank that would REALLY hurt anyone would be a response of love and acceptence. I'd flip my shit. Well, I guess that's what makes ponies different from humans.

Lunavia said...

It lacked a severe amount of Twilight, but absolutely adorable in its own right.

Pinkie Pie said...

Oh, Fluttershy! I'm still so super-mega-gimundo-extreamo sorry I hurt you! I don't know how you could ever forgive me!

Gummy said...

This is so sweet that all my teeth have rotted away.

Forderz said...

CRITICAL CUTENESS LEVELS REACHED

clone said...

This was so incredibly sweet and cute that I think my emotions overloaded. So cute! I wish I could hug them :3

Smellybananna said...

The first shipping I gave a chance, and I thought it was just so damn CUTE!

TheBlackBaron said...

@Mattwo

Sure, they have an intense rivalry of the vitrolic best buds type. But deciding that it means they're lesbians and dig each other? Entirely fanon.

I mean, I like some ships better than others, sure, but it's not like any are more or less valid than others. It's all just personal preference.

Arrow said...

Found the link to #9, for those who want it: http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/248/b/a/sight_for_really_sore_eyes_9_by_speccysy-d48yh8z.png

Sorry it's not all fancy or anything, I'm not good at comments. :(

pmcollectorboy said...

Happy ending is so dawwww squee.

Marock said...

The ending... DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
;w;

TetraPony said...

The 9th page links to clop art

NightColt said...

Pinkie on that last page, man...
Never - EVER - have I D'awwwww'd so hard.

Gummy said...

Why do I think the link to page 9 is a joke?

cardshark78 said...

Main reason why Fluttershy is my favorite pony. So soft so selfless so huggable and very caring. Yeah I cryed too. Terrific comic!

TetraPony said...

@Gummy

I Could think that Phoe forgot something in the clipboard.

Snowy Flanks said...

I like this on good premise and a lovely ending

Octavia said...

Ahhh, so that's why this post suddenly has so many comments... people complaining about the link in #9. lol If you ever want to garner a lot of posts from people online, simply post something they can easily complain about. People will crawl out of the woodwork to whine and complain. ;)

MPerce said...

Guys, my heart just exploded. I can't reach my phone. Someone call the ponyologists for me.

payphone101 said...

awwww I FEEL TEH LOVE!!!

Octavia said...

On another note, I really love this comic series... even though it turned to shipping. lol But it's still exceedingly cute and sweet. <3

Sebiale said...

Why does page 9 lead to Pooniboru?

Gummy said...

@Sebiale Because phoe has been looking at to much of this and accidently linked that or something :P

VegasSubie said...

Google Chrome needs a mass link opener for this kind of stuff...

Eric said...

That's sweet... I d'awwed.

Dosko said...

What a happy, fluffy ending :)

ThemsAllTook said...

I'm usually not a fan of shipping, but this was sweet.

chronoryono said...

Cuteness threshold exceeded. Critical brain failure imminent. Heart temperature rising dangerously. Slight toothache.

<3 <3 <3

DashAttack said...

I don't really care much for shipping, but this was cute.

Nyerguds said...

It still boggles my mind how comics are NOT fan fiction :p

Xerlith said...

Damn it. I'm usually against shipping in general (they're all friends, people! Where do you come up with romantic relationships from that!?), but this is just too. Freakin'. Cute.

So now there's a 14-page shipping comic in my MLP folder. And another one by this same artist. Why do you force me to like this? Again, damn it.

Mattwo said...

@TheBlackBaron

Well to be fair, according to the relationship chart, Pinkie the last one you would be able to ship with.

None of the others really seem to share much of a connection to her and they all get annoyed or confused by her antics.

Her and RD's love of pranks is as about as deep as her connections to the others goes.

Fluttershy on the other hand....

YES! YES! FINALLY!

This is freaking ADORABLEEEEEEEEEEE :,D.

Quell said...

I'm not a fan of shipping but this was very adorable!

Mooke said...

I normally dislike ships, but I still shed tears of manly-ness at this, the likes of which haven't been seen since Wall-E.

Well Done Mr(s) Speccy, you have made a grown man cry...

Well, several grown men cry.

HeshieokFasla said...

Number 9's link doesn't work.

aldariz said...

awesome comic. well, apart from the whole shipping thing which i find awkward. still, liked it a lot.

Senn555 said...

What did #9 link to on Ponibooru? I missed it.

AxelWolfen said...

In my opinion, it's a damn shame they posted the comic without giving the original author any credit. ah well. I think the guy who made the comic gave him credit, so it's not like the guy who wrote the story is outed COMPLETELY.

netherworld97 said...

i dont much like fluttershy shipping (well, perhaps RDxfluttershy), but i like this comic.
