Comics: Mood Whiplash Style!

Source
We're kind of massively backed up on comics right now, so here's a slightly larger batch than usual, in my favorite kind of combination. Here there be beauty, here there be soul. Here there be silly, here there be droll. They'll tug on your heart strings, they'll move you to cry, they'll double back 'round, make you ask 'Why, Phoe? Why?'

And they're also mostly after the page break. Enjoy!

Tons of comics? YESYESYESYESYESYES

Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML said...

The third one was posted in the last day or so in a not-full-resolution way.

Josh Spicer said...

Excuse me while I go "Open New Tab" crazy and read some good stuff.

Needs 20% or 200% more comics

This comic update was weak :l

Orchestral Design said...

The last one was sweet, its nice. LoL at Vinyl Scratch, Laser beams!!!

Jaggo said...

I was half expecting a comic from that header image. Manly tears certainly would have been shed.

All of these though are much more refreshing. Though the last one certainly had me Dawwwing.

DJnickbeta said...

That first one of Discord should have him dropping chocolate milk, not a glass.

Specter Von Baren said...

The first part of the Sweetia poem was good but then it started getting weird. Derpy's was... sad... The quilt was heartwarming and the Discord... pretty funny.

SupaSpeedStrut said...

Dat description...best part for me :)

Specter Von Baren said...

@Jaggo

It is a comic, you have to go to the source to see it though.

Municipal Engines said...

I cried a little at the last one. Beautiful.

Mint Julep said...

Rhyming in the description?

I love when Phoe posts.

dwarfyz said...

don't worry derpy
we will love and tolerate the shit outta you
--------------------------------------------
So Discord watches it for the plot?
Wut.
--------------------------------------------
Imma Firin' Mah Lazor?
BLAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHH
--------------------------------------------
woah awesome poem
why sweetie belle's cutie mark ain't being
a poet.
--------------------------------------------
bea-u-tiful
:D

Killsteal_Wolf said...

I had seen the Derpy one before. Amazing all the incarnations we go through with her.

Vynyl Scratch one was very good, I still think Discrod survived though.

zomgitsalaura said...

oh lord, the DJ Pon-3 one
*dies*

jodyjm13 said...

Have to click on the source link to see the first comic, just in case anyone's wondering where the rest of it is. I've mentioned before my preference for happy Derpy, but it's a well-done comic, and the artist has some food for thought in the description.

Second comic is amusing, and very true to how I see Discord.

Third is more of a cute illustration with a heartfelt poem. Maybe Sweetie Belle really is a dictionary...

Fourth comic is OK; good art in service of a meh punchline. (Part of it was also linked to a couple of days ago, although this time the whole comic is just a click away.)

Fifth comic is the highlight of this collection, very well drawn and heartwarming.

ValentineRain said...

The derpy comic was epic.

Twilight said...

I love the second one so much, partly because Luna looks so cute like that~

Rainbow Smashly said...

Rarity comic, 1 word: skill

Bombedrumbum said...

Phoe was right. #1 certainly did do exactly that. Why Phoe, why?

OminousBrony said...

If I could see things from Discords angle, I might just agree with him.

Wolfblitz said...

The first one is so sad...

Shadow Dragon said...

The first one with Ditzy was the best. So sad. :(

Pinkamina Diane Pie said...

"Your sister had a nice flank too, if I remember correctly…" This would be where I exploded with laughter. Twice.

commanche105996 said...

All these comics were rather unique. Discord being best troll, he made me chuckle. The Derpy one gave me new insight to our favorite mailmare. The Sweety Bell poem was well written. And the century quilt was excellently done.

joetraincool said...

2nd comic...

Discord is going to die. Again. And again, and again, and again.

Great collection anyway XD.

Jrto66 said...

Lol. i Love the DJ PON-3 one

Alan Solivan said...

And now Vinyl is Cyclops.

BEHOLD

Cloud Dasher said...

Did anyone else feel like beating discord up after reading the second comic?

Night Eagle said...

The first one sounds so…so…*sob*

Isrozzis said...

*sheds a tear*

that first one...

Aquaman52 said...

And that's how Vinyl Scratch saved Equestria. 'Course, the so-called "Elements of Harmony" took credit for everything AGAIN, but you know how the mainstream media likes to spin things. 'S all good. She does it for the little fillies anyway.

Rainbowdash said...

1st,3rd,5th

*Heart explodes*

Honkmaster said...

Come on Derpy....
No ones laughing at you here,
we're laughing with you!

Don't be sad... D:

Alex said...

Derpy. . .I'm sorry.

NDupree93 said...

Hey. Hey.

Hey Fandom. Fandoooooooom. C'mere for a second.

Do you think...if its wouldn't be too much trouble...that you could, oh I dunno...STOP MAKING ME CRY AT INOPPORTUNE TIMES?

;____;

kwj said...

so many comics
yes!!!

the rarest pony said...

Anypony else actually start to cry at the first one? Poor Derpy Hooves :'(

Tyranoman said...

All awesome as per usual, especailly the description Phoe :D
The Vinyl one was particularly amusing though

specter114 said...

Don't worry, I still love you Derpy

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Not-so-dry humor and on-the-fly rhyming?
We love you, Phoe!

forkinyoureye said...

Wow, Scratch's eyes are like Terezi's...but with added lasers.

ApetureTestSubject said...

OK, several comics at once.
Let's do this.

1.Oh no Ditzy. You'll always be my favorite pony. You being sad makes me sad. Please cheer up. Please.

2.Is it me or is Luna really cute in the last panel? Hell Luna's always cute.

3.Beautiful. Could only be improved by hearing Sweetie sing it herself.

4.Charging lasers captain.
OPEN FIRE
*BWOOOOOM*

5.That's a tad heart warming. Awwww family.

Sad, cute, pretty, funny and sweet. So many emotions in such a short time.

ObscureBrony said...

Scratch as Cyclops....BRILLIANT!

Alondro said...

@forkinyoureye

Cyclops from X-Men, more like it. Can't take off his glasses because of FIRIN HIS LAZAR!!! BWAHHHHH!

WhiteDiamonds said...

Oh, mercy, that last comic... talk about uncanny timing. I only just got home from buying quilting swatches at the fabric store, very bizarre coincidence! But, needless to say it is beautifully done and exceptionally sweet... my great-grandmother was a seamstress and my older sister a fashion designer, so in that sense I can rather relate to Rarity here. <=)

All of these comics were very nice, though. Sad Derpy fanworks always make me a little melancholy, the Discord one was cute and nicely done, and I saw Vinyl's coming a mile away, heh. Lovely stuff.

ultraspacemobile said...

I especially like the art style of #5. I appreciate that the artist interprets the style of the show to make the material his own.

Fawfulcopter said...

Read the Vinyl comic.
Now inspired to write a fic about the X-Ponies, gathered from throughout Equestria by Professor/Princess Luna to join the secret division of Celestia's School for Gifted Ponies.
Despite the name, much like how there are female X-Men, not all X-Ponies are ponies; the most popular member would undoubtedly be a Diamond Dog.

Fawfulcopter said...

Is it bad that I rapped the Sweetie Belle poem as I read it aloud to myself?

Jelfes said...

Phoe, reading what you wrote alone made this page worth opening, and even if it didn't it would still be worth it because there's ponies on this page as well!

Pinkie Pie said...

It wasn't about her having her own episode, it was about having a key role. We were even told that back when season two was announced.

Pyrobug said...

Sweetie Bell's poem was incredible. The only downside of it is that I don't think I ever want to write anything again for fear of it ever being compared to that.

LimeyLassen said...

Last one was very subtle. I love it!

snowfi6916 said...

@Pinkie Pie

My bad. Still cool though.

DPV111 said...

The first one makes me want to drop-kick someone. And it's not Pinkie or Dash or Derpy.

Ivan2294 said...

Does anyone else suddenly want an epic fic of Derpy's adventure's that displays her in a serious light?

David D. said...

Sweetie Belle's poem is beautiful. It flows so well that the basic melody came to me immediately as soon as I read the first few lines.

Phoebe said...

Aww, i love you for who you are Derpy :)

Bloomberg said...

These are all awesome but.....

there definitely needs to be more next time!

Danniel said...

#5, It's always good to see Rarity with a smile on her face.

Octavia said...

Awww, that Derpy comic was sad. Poor Derpy. :(

Dat Luna in dat second comic. Discord, you perv! >:( She is kinda cute in a maid outfit though.

Whoa.. that Sweetie Belle poem. I'm not a writer really, but very very nicely written in my opinion.

Vinyl comic made me giggle. Dem eyes. Discord got owned. Firin' their lasers, etc. :P

That last comic was rather endearing. So many generations of Rarity's family adding to that quilt. And now her and Sweetie Belle have, aww. :')

SparkleFun said...

I want to hug Derpy forever. :'(

Sunspark said...

Why do sad Derpy comics always make me cry?

Dosko said...

@DJnickbeta

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that :)

DashAttack said...

Vinyl Clops is the best X-Men.

Muthesquirrel said...

Nooo, that's totally out of character for Pinkie Pie. She never laughs at others misfortune. That's her whole thing!

SecondJack said...

...Derpy Comics.....
Y U SO ALWAYS UNCOMFORTABLE?
PLZ MAKE DERPY HAPPY

Cloudy Skies said...

I read that poem out loud, and the second I finished, I went "holy crap". Like, out loud, to myself, and I have no idea what that means.

No source for the poem though?

Profesor Rod said...

#1 :'(
#2 Luna in maid's outfit? @/////@

Josh said...

Wait, if Vinyl Scratch is Cyclops, who's Wolverine, Octavia? Man, now I'm trying to figure out who the "X-Ponies" might be without using the mane six...

James Corck said...

That last one really got me X3 I have manly tears all over.

Voltaire said...

#1 Is that supposed to make me cry?
#2 Discord knows how to treat the fillies. Wonder why he didn't ask for a bacon sammich too...
#3 A pretty awesome poem :D
#4 I wish I had laser vision :(
#5 D'aww.

Lofwyr said...

The first one is awesome.

dsauce said...

Oh poor Derpy. I wish I could go and comfort her.

Unknown said...

@Royal Guard Tictac Hey, mister Guard, how many bits do you get payed? I must make Ditzy Doo feel better!

SgtGarand said...

#1 Oh my ;_: So beautiful(artwork) yet so depressing. *Hugs Ditzy forever*
#3 And then Sweetie Belle got her cutie mark

theoneandonly said...
