Comics: Lost to Fashion/Running of the Bees

Source
When I saw the above comic, my jaw hung open on my mouth in shock. Then, I began giggling madly. And then I immediately had to kick myself for laughing. Just to give you an idea of what sort of treat you're in for (and make no mistake, I love me some reactionary whiplash). Also, a fun bit of trivia: both of today's comics were forwarded to me be Seth, with the subject line "Uh... I don't get it". So if you read these and understand them, then you're Smarter than a Blogpony. That sounds like a great idea for a game show. Who could we get to host it?

Pictured below: beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

GreyFire said...

First comic made me sad...

Fasaloft said...

OH NO, NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

A Weary Exile said...

I don't get either of them. >_<

pmcollectorboy said...

If you want to sleep with your sister, you could just, oh I don't know, ask.

woodledoodledoodle said...

The second one implies rarity was telling a story and tucking in the mannequin, that had a wig and painted horn, making it look like sweetie bell

Freekles1245 said...

I didn´t get the first. Somepony please explain.

darkflame7 said...

I.. I don't get it either.

David said...

Panel 1: "Dawwww..."
Panel 2: "DAWWWWW...."
Panel 3: "WHAT THE F-F-B-pb-pbt!!! WHAT!? WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU DRAW THAT!?"

All my hugs to Sweetie Belle. All of them.

Nightbreak said...

Got the first one. Laughed pretty hard. Co-worker didn't get it.

Rulsis said...

The second comic is based on pinkie's predictions from the feeling pinkie keen episode. And as you might remember, there were indeed bees in this episode fall weather friends.

pmcollectorboy said...

*notices where the lipstick went* Now I feel like an idiot.

zomgitsalaura said...

oh lord, sweetie bells expression

alexrockclimber said...

If you want to submit a comic do you do it the same as a normal drawing or do they find it?

Sethisto said...

@woodledoodledoodle

AHA!

So that's what's going on!

Glad I'm not the only one who was confused!

FredFredNineNine said...

I don't get the second one.

Poor Sweetie Bell :(

Sonic Rainblast said...

Dang, poor Sweetie Belle. But why would there be a mannequin of her in her bed? That's what I don't get.

MasterofRoku said...

I d'aawed at the first comic, only because of the look on Sweetie's face. Poor filly.

I don't get the 2nd comic. Did the bees scare off Pinkie and Rainbow?

OminousBrony said...

What is with people drawing stuff with Rarity being abusive to Sweetie Belle? It isn't right.

dw1482 said...

I get them!
Oh Rarity, you're such a bad person.
I would say bad pony but for some reason that sounds more sexual, and I meant that she's just terrible.

93d00bbe-cb8d-11e0-9537-000f20980440 said...

Oh god, WHY would you draw something like #1? Seriously, what kind of person-

>Checks source
>Inkbunny account with a bunch of cub-sex/cub-sex-favorited art

Nevermind.

CTOONfan1 said...

I got the first comic instantly. Poor Sweeite Belle.

The second one took a few seconds. A bit funny.

Understatedly Hyperbolic said...

Oh that is just cruel... (though I am a bit lost on the complete picture for #1, but sweetie's face...wtf...)

Apple Jack is surely not amused by the bees

Freekles1245 said...

OH! I get it! Rarity was reading the story for the mannequin, that´s why Sweetie Belle was sad. Duh, so obvious.

mysticalace8 said...

First comic: In the second panel, Rarity is kissing the mannequin, not Sweetie Belle. She likes the mannequin more than her sister, hence the title, "Lost to Fashion." Poor Sweetie Belle D:

gato said...

That first comic...



:(

twilightlover21 said...

Dawww sweetie bell why does no pony like you!!! All my hugs to sweetie bell.

cousin it said...

Why is Sweetie crying? If I had an awesome Rarity plush like that I'd be happy FOREVERRRRRRRR!

bookman said...

took me a couple seconds but i got there lol.

SomeGuy said...

@woodledoodledoodle Thanks, I can't believe I did not notice that at first.

Phoe said...

@Sethisto

Seth, I EXPLAINED this to you. Why are you just now getting it?

mat-shades said...

I now know what what's going on seth in the first comic.

I too giggled, and slapped myself at the last panel. I wanna hug and cuddle the sweet filly <3

poor sweety belle :c

paradoxador said...

I got both of them, the first one is messed up but the second one is really funny

Grez said...

#1
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
WHYYYYYY?!

Marrock said...

Good gods, can we please stop it with the Sweetie abuse, Scootabuse, and all the rest, it's nauseating and I can't be the only one that's sick to the teeth of it all.

NotAGoodUsername360 said...

@Fasaloft

OH GOD THEY'RE MY EEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYEEEEEEEEES!!! AAUGFDSHGHSDHGASDJFGHH!!!

Dragonsrules77 said...

I think the only reason why I got the first (Rarity), was because of the perspective the artist gave us, and the mannequin's place on the bed. It didn't show more than the hair and horn, which is normally off-setting.
The third one is indeed a sad image to behold...

NinesTempest said...

We need to have a version of the second one about The Wickerman.

IkusaGT said...

Leave Sweetie Bell alone,IDK why there's been so much flak her way lately

Sweetie Belle said...

Yea! Leave my sis outta this!
I mean me! Stop being mean to me!
But don't be mean to sis, either!
She's just got really bad eye sight without her contacts.

GabuEx said...

First comic... c'mon, that's just sadistic to draw Sweetie Belle looking SO pathetic and sad. :( I still laughed though, black as my heart is.

Second comic... I have no idea wtf is going on here, but I do know it was pretty funny! :D

keneticpest said...

Sweetabuse just ain't right.

Look down Look up Youre a Brony said...

The first is horrible and kinda funny and I'm horrible for thinking it's kinda funny.

I don't get the second one.

Typhar said...

#1 Why so much hate for Sweetie Belle?

#2 Pinkie just made a lot of bee's angry didn't she.

Timber said...

@ the second: LOLOLOLOL

@ the first: .... what the I dont even what is URGH!!

ChaosDX1 said...

@ First comic:
.......HAHAHAHAHAHA-WhyAmILaughingThatIsHorrible-HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

Um... I don't get it. Either of them for that matter...

ShadeTail said...

OK, so:

1st: Rarity was showing love to a mannequin, leaving Sweetiebell feeling all sad and abandoned. So fine, I get that.

2nd: Uh, what?

John said...

Hell, I get it.

1st one is Rarity tucking in the mannequin, like Applejack did to her tree in Over a Barrel. Sweetie Bell feels left out.

2nd one is just Pinkie being Pinkie. :P

Simplydone said...

If sweetie belle wants she can always get revenge by selling more pics to Spike.

But seriously that first one was just plain mean.

ShadeTail said...

OK, after a second viewing, I finally noticed the cloud of bees in the last panel of #2. So I guess Pinkie is being chased by bees. The timing really doesn't make much sense, though. How did she have time to pause at the starting line without getting caught?

Doc Steedly said...

*TACKLEHUGS Sweetie Belle* "Fav little sister!" *Gives Sweetie sweets for being such a sweet sweetie.*

Snow Flurry said...

CUTIE MARK CRUSADER ABUSED CHILDHOODS...yay...

Okay that just didn't sound right.

Marshall said...

For everyone who doesn't get the second comic, think "Spain's running of the bulls," and then consider what that implies Pinkie did when she misinterpreted...

Ewyndall said...

#1 made me sad :(
Someone give poor filly a hug.

#2 Moderately funny.

Luna said...

Second one: During runnings of ___, they usually abuse and mistreat the animals to drive them into a rage, then they'll line-up in front of the pens holding said rage, and then the whole point is to put yourself in the line of danger and survive.

In this case, Pinkie ticked-off a bunch of bees, thinking they were going to anyway.

banannagram said...

The first one shocked me so much I had to go away for a few minutes before I could bring myself to do anything else.

The second one was funny.

TheSweetestBelle said...

Sweetie Belle, you are best pony and are never allowed to look that sad EVER again!

I honestly think that almost broke me. D:

ProBrono said...

I like my coffee like I like my Rainbow Dash... COVERED IN BEEEEEEES

professor-happypants said...

Neither of them make any sense whatsoever.

jwallen said...

Aw, poor Sweetie Belle. That nearly broke my heart! LOL. The second comic was gold. :D

Ironlenny said...

For the first one, I didn't get it. Now that I get it, I'm not laughing.

Solar Flair said...

XD you know, for a split second I was looking for a deeper meaning to the first comic. But nope! Just neglect! :D

T_T Poor Sweetie.

The second one probably has some more advanced joke to it, but you could easily understand 'oh shit bees are coming'.

DarkJester said...

Oh man, people aren't going to be happy about that Seth... I dunno if its a mistake or not, it seems to be, but the "source" link goes to an inkbunny post (that's not even the same comic for that matter) with a bunch of realllllly questionable thumbnails along the bottom. Might want to check on that!

FoxyGP said...

Rarity, you make it very hard to be my second favorite pony after that. I mean, look at Sweetie Belle's face! LOOK AT IT!!!
Second one, however, confirms why Pinkie Pie is best pony.

SgtGarand said...

For the first one I had to look at it twice to get it. Then I laughed pretty hard. Followed by Dawwwwwww, I made myself sad ): I love Sweetie Belle

Pony In Chief said...

/)@3@(\ Don't get it...

I can't believe that the first comic even exists. How awful!

KTS said...

1. Poor Sweetie Belle.

2.Pinkie pie is very random even on dates.

The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor said...

The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor is greatly saddened by Rarity actions. One expected better of her...

Hyena said...

I really hope people aren't getting legitimately upset by the first comic. I find it hilarious. Obtain a sense of humor.

Profesor Rod said...

OH NO, NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Shadow Phoenix said...

We get Scootabuse after the RD bombshell and Sweetabuse because it's not impossible from what we've seen in canon.

Why no Bloomabuse? She has the most characterization!

Skylark Torch said...

So what I get from the rarity comic is: Rarity read to and kissed the mannequin. Sweetie bell has to share a bed with the mannequin. Sb cracks after Rarity tell the mannequin another sewing story and completely ignores her.

Octavia said...

I get the first one. The little sister Rarity really wants, yeah. Poor Sweetie Belle, awww. Even has a little Rarity plush because she loves her big sister so much. :'(

Inafter NOOOOOOO NOT THE BEES!

Wierdplatformer said...

I didn't laugh at the first, that's just messed up.

I finally got the second one after a couple minutes.

GIR said...

The first one made me depressed, the second one made me grin a little.

Tritone said...

Laughed at the first one. I mean, it's not all that sad/evil (just a glint of dark humor)

Tosxychor said...

@Phoe
I laughed hardet at this than the first comic itself.

Also Pinkie, are you really sure it was the Sack Swap?

Saint_Absol said...

Where is the Sweetielove to counteract all this Sweetiebuse?

Rarity-Fan said...

...no one can make a dark joke with out everybody bitching. can they?

Firleycat said...

I have a strange feeling that there is much more to the first one then we are seeing. I keep thinking that Sweetie made the mannequin so she wouldn't bother Rarity, Rarity becomes exhausted from work and confused Sweetie for the mannequin, and we get this incident. I really hope that is what happened. We do awful things to these ponies.

The second one gives me flashbacks to Animal Crossing. Why was there so many bees in that game?

Haybuck said...

Unless I'm mistaken, the second one is a Sealab 2021 reference? Maybe?

stratguy said...

i think i get dah first one, here goes...

sweetie belle thinks she isnt loved by rarity so she acts like the rarity she wants, to the mannequin, and then thinks of the mannequin as herself so she feels loved. its sad but thats what i can pull from it.

anyone agree?

yetti said...

first one is sad and you should feel sad :(

FictionFan said...

I probably shouldn't find that top comic HILARIOUS. But I do.
