#2 We now KNOW the SECRET!
#3 AJ doesn't look amused.

Jelfes said...

#1 Lyra really oughta use her horn for opening it, stab it of course, magic is just barbaric!

#2 (again) I thought she just did it for the go boost! Pinkie is one pony you could expect to to d that, though I wonder how she got dollars instead of bits?

#3 lol racism...

DawnOfTime said...

Yep, Pinkie's twitchy-tail powers were Trixie the whole time! :D

mephitislotor said...

The first two are great; I'm surprised no one's thought of either one before, especially the idea of Trixie bribing Pinkie just to mess with Twilight. (Obviously there has to be something to Pinkie Sense for AJ to respect it, but it did seem to hit Twilight awfully hard that day...)

The third one's not quite as good, but still amusing.

Mac3030 said...

lol these were great

Celestia said...

#1 Don't let Dr Whooves eat one of those, he won't be pleased when he remembers.

#2 Pinkie shouldn't need Trixies to get Twilight to admit she can't explain Pinkie sense.

#3 Fluttershy's face, oh dear. Their expressions are priceless.

Zeitgeist said...

No Rainbow Dash, I iz saddowns...

Josh Spicer said...

It's like you guys just go into the groups on DeviatArt and pick the best comi-oh wait...

BizzareAD said...

Simple, yet funny. I like them. Keep up the good work!

Wheeljack said...

Do they MMMMMM like Bananas?

gillnavisingh said...

#1 - INB4 Bananas joke.

#2 - Revenge is sweet, but Bits are sweeter!!

#3 - I... Don't have anything to say... (It's been almost three weeks since that episode...)

Octavia said...

Those were great. I especially loved Lyra trying to open the banana in the first comic. And poor RD falling in the third one. Oh, and Fluttershy's face in the third one, haha. <3

dublio said...

@Zeitgeist

Rainbow Dash is in the third comic. Look closely in the 2nd panel. She's half hiding behind the "Ahhhhhhhhh." It's her falling because she lost her wings remember.

gillnavisingh said...

@Wheeljack

Dammit all!! I got Ninja'd... Over three minutes...

Unknown said...

#1 Poor Lyra
#2 I love Pinkie pie so much
#3 Earth Pony dont get any love

mycutiemarkisagun said...

#3 is the best, lol, i love these pony racism jokes

"Pegasi can fly, Unicorns wield magic, and Earth ponies...........uh...........have.......uhhhhh......"

Bullets said...

Lol at Fluttershy's reaction in the third one.

Timber said...

Wheres Rainbow... oh there she is

ZigZag said...

Pinkie Pie is oblivious to the racism, and I think AJ is fully aware of it.

Pyrobug said...

#3 "Oh no, what a nightmare."

Vegetalss4 said...

You know I am not really sure why panic at suddenly losing some of your limbs would be racism, even if said race lacks the limb in question.

thegamefilmguruman said...

@Vegetalss4

The racism is Discord not taking anything from the earth ponies, treating them as non-threats.

Food Food Food said...

Maybe he took away their endurance?
I think that he took, or tried to take, Pinkie's 4th wall breaking abilities.

Ford said...

I've actually seen a comic like the last one before. While the unicorns and pegusi were panicking over the loss of their horns and wings (off-panel), AJ and Pinkie were both just looking at each other with a shared expression that said something like, "Ugh, seriously?"

Harwick said...

I find it interesting that there's two ways to interpret #2, depending on which way you think the money is being exchanged. Did Pinkie want help winning an argument with Twilight, or did Trixie want help tormenting the Little Ms. Know-it-all who showed her up?

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

I always felt a little insulted on AJ and Pinkie's behalf wehn the playing field got "evened." Earth ponies are just as awesome as the rest!!

moocow1452 said...

I'm gonna guess that Applejack's super-insight and the Pinkie Sense were nulled as part of the trade, seeing as this just came up yesterday.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

All of these are great, but I must mention that the idea behind #3 has been shown before.
Still, I saved all three.

kriss1989 said...

#3 Racism. Everyone is so horrified that they are now Earth Ponies. I'm actually surprised this wasn't pointed out in the episode with a line like "Don't yall worry. Heck, me and Pinkie get along just fine without them fancy wings or horns".

T'Renn said...

@Celestia: Just make sure he only gets bananas. He's fully behind bananas. ;-)

RedFox742 said...

Pony racism is hilarious. Has anyone ever actually asked Jason or Lauren about it?

The standard line that "earth ponies are the strongest" doesn't hold up when you see that RD flattened Applejack (a model of earth pony fitness) in a hoof-wrassle. AJ only wins with her hind legs.

Strill said...

@RedFox742: Ya, if you look at Rainbow Dash's apple bucking at the end of Applebuck Season, she spills some apples, but still manages to get most of them to land in Pinkie's cart, which would suggest that the only advantage Applejack has, even in apple bucking is finesse.

The advantages of earth ponies grow thinner and thinner.

Rohit Eligeti said...

Lyra is so found of human hands though being a unicorn LOL nice one!

Third is like pony racism.... nice one too!

violetclm said...

Ponyville does have bananas, though. They show up in Owl's Well that Ends Well.

derpyluvsmuffins said...

on number three when isaw this on tv i this was the first thing to pop in my mind

skovfru said...

Guys, whenever the Earth pony ting comes up you all compare Rainbow Dash and Applejack. The only ting no one ever seems to think about is that, oh that's right, Rainbow Dash is ATHLETIC. She's stronger than the typical pegasus. Do you guys think Derpy or Fluttershy could compete with Applejack?

I think Earth ponies are IN GENERAL stronger and hardier than the other races. Pegasi are lighter and of course, can fly. NO ONE EVER THINKS FOR A SECOND THAT MAYBE RAINBOW DASH IS JUST THE EXCEPTION, NOT THE RULE.

Strill said...

@skovfru: You also seem to forget that Applejack is stronger than the typical earth pony and Fluttershy is weaker than the typical pegasus. So a fairer comparison would be Derpy vs Mrs. Cake. My bet's on Derpy.

Smashmatt202 said...

Funny and cute comics! I especially like the middle one, because Feeling Pinkie Keen is my least favorite episode, and I feel that makes more sense then what happened in the actual episode.

jodyjm13 said...

@Strill
I love Derpy dearly, but in that contest, my bits are on Mrs. Cake.

Tequila Sunrise said...

Okay, the Feeling Pinkie Keen explanation is now canon in my head.

Bney said...

Aww, Rainbow Dash never saw it coming...

Harwick said...

@Strill
Wait... why is it more fair to athletically compare a middle-aged, pudgy pastry chef against a younger, fit pegasus that moves anvils and pianos?

Admittedly, she doesn't move them *well*, but still.

WhiteDiamonds said...

Hahaha I loved all of these, but especially #3 (even if the topic has been broached on more than one occasion before). Poor Applejack.

Aranarth said...

An Apple stand with fruit from 2 ponies with the last name of Orange.

Fruits for sale: Pears and Bananas

Tequila Sunrise said...

Wait, wait, wait. Is that Fluttershy being the Simple Dog from Hyperbole and a Half?

SuperGiantRobot said...

Don't let Bon Bon eat pears. She HATES pears.

Unknown said...

@Tequila Sunrise

I just barely realized the same thing! Simple Dog ftw!

Unknown said...

@Unknown
Though at the same time I feel bad for making the comparison. Fluttershy is best pony!

Applejack85 said...

#1 is definitely my fav, poor handless Lyra :(

Floopindoop said...

Gian, YOU GOT ON EQD AGAIN, hooray for you.

Floopindoop said...

I know this guy and i gave him the idea for the fruit.

kriss1989 said...

@Harwick For that matter, we have a pegasus that can lift anvils. I think the 'Earth Ponies are physically stronger' theory is kaput.

Sketch Scribbles said...

Excluding alcorns, the only elderly ponies we ever see are earth ponies. Maybe they have the longest lofespan of the three? You know, to make up for not having special abilities.

skovfru said...

@kriss1989 Not necessarily, no one has decided how pegasus magic works. Like when they're pulling carriages, the carriages float. Is it because of their passive magic? If so, that'd be helpful in lifting anvils and pianos.

I'm not against the Earth ponies having no real powers, btw, I just despise all the hate they get from this fandom. Everyone likes Pegasi 'cause OOH THEY CAN FLY and Unicorns because THEY CAN DO MAGIC but Earth ponies are cool too. 8'C

kriss1989 said...

@skovfru I know, my OC is an EP. I love them too, but I feel that the 'stronger' argument is sour grapes. I prefer the 'most numerous' version.
