Comic: Mane-Tenance / Twilight and Smarty Pants

Click for Full
For some reason, Derpy sitting like that is really cute.

And a parody of the best comic series ever below.  For those that don't know what that is, feel free to remove yourselves from EQD forever.

(I kid)

How does Luna brush her mane? This would be good info for Phoe

wackyteen said...

maturity is not forever... >.>

Stahi said...

Never would've thought FiM/Calvin & Hobbes. Wow.

Stargazer said...

Poor Derpy, she looks so sad... I know! ~goes over to her and brushes her mane~ =3

I love the calvin and hobbs style for 2. They look so cute... Wait what are they... oh no joe... no... no...

CTVulpin said...

Lol Ditzy. you're great.

#2: Calvin and Hobbes style. *squee* So cute.

Stargazer said...

@Bombedrumbum

Technically it can be touched... Pipsqueak pulled her mane and tail in the episode...

WizardShy said...

Why would you NEED to brush that mane? Look's like it's straightening out by itself.

Love the second cartoon.

I bought the complete Calvin & Hobbes box set recently. It weighs about 90 pounds and is pretty much my most treasured possession now.

Pony Calvin and Hobbes. Best Crossover EVER!!

Lightning Delight said...

Oh, Calvin and Hobbes. The memories. Now I'm all nostalgic. If you'll excuse me, I need to go read the twelve Calvin and Hobbes books I have.

DragoFlyrr said...

hahahahahahahaha I love you Calvin and hobbes. Oh how i love that comic series. <3 best.

Lazulic said...

Calvin and Hobbes was the best comic as a kid. Even if I probably didn't get it half the time.

1.I'm pretty sure an alicorn's mane evolves and while it can be brushed it probably isn't needed.

Also the muffin queens costume was glorious.

2.Calvin and hobbes... even adults aren't mature sometimes.

Zyggy said...

Twilight and Smarty Pants.
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

MaximillianVeers said...

I still think Calvin and Hobbes was the greatest comic ever.

Mike said...

@Tears of a Valedictorian

Clearly you've never owned a CO2 lazer, lol.
But yeah, Calvin and Hobbes stuff comes close.

Fleymevas said...

Yay Calvin and Hobbes! I love them!

Ozimul said...

"I'm home!"
*SmartyPants tackles Twi to the floor*
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT"

bobmortar said...

Looks like I shall remove myself from EQD forever.

Lol nope, I'm gonna stay, even if I don't know the original for #2.

Snowy Flanks said...

Twi and Calvin is so good I love it

Razputin the Ponynaut said...

@Stahi

Really? At this point, I consider all crossovers inevitable.

mattwhite924 said...

I love anything that even vaguely references Calvin and Hobbes. It may even be my favorite thing of all time (sorry ponies).

remenescent said...

I'ma hafta dig out the old comic books!

And that last panel in the second comic is so adorable. :3

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

@Mike

Haha, wow man, those things look pretty intense.

You can't curl up on a sofa with a CO2 Laser on christmas day though. Well you could, but it'd be weird.

Flutterfan said...

That wasn't a parody of Will Eisner's The Spirit. Nor was it a parody of the Army of Darkness comics...it was Calvin and Hobbes, correct?

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

I would love it if there were more Twilight/Smarty Pants C&H crossovers. Get on it, talented community.

KTS said...

1. Oh that Mane
2. Calvin and Hobbs artist I think? Oh well it's adorable.

Maskerade said...

Veggie finally found something that looks good with derp eyes.

It's Hobbes, people. With an 'e'!

Keep on Going said...

calvin and hobbes! best comic ever! :D

Hope Quill said...

#1 Derpy is best pony. (Dat mane)
#2 So cuuute /)^3^(\. I guess it's another reference that I don't get.

Maskerade said...

@D. Shadows
Eeyup. Even adults who watch My Little Pony can be childish.

commanche105996 said...

Calvin and Hobbes is BEST comic. The comics were very inspirational.

SgtGarand said...

Yay, just from the title and mention of it being a great comic, I already knew it was Calvin and Hobbes before the image even loaded. Hopefully there will be more to this one.

And poor Derpy, she's just curious about Luna's magical mane.

Octavia said...

#1 Awww, Derpy looks so disheartened in the last two panel's in this comic. And brushie brushie, Luna. :3

#2 Ah, Calvin and Hobbs. I was worried I wasn't getting the reference. But I was guessing that based on the style it's in. :P

ChaosDX1 said...

How DOES she brush it?
...is it even tangible?


Ah, that second comic takes me back to simpler times... and Spaceman Spiff!

Red Depths said...

My life is now complete.

Hexplosion said...

In my mind's eye, I can see Twilight imagining she's a dinosaur, as a brave space explorer captive on an alien ship, using a cardboard box to transform herself, and being tackled everyday upon coming home. It's adorable.

Joel said...

Calvin and Hobbes <3

TapeDiggity said...

I like "Mane-tenance"'s joke, but I think it could have been more succinct. The three preceding panels ultimately don't contribute to the joke, and they're pretty static, too. The artist can save his/her time and effort by aiming for more efficient storytelling techniques; comics are strange that way.

ACB said...

Derpy asks the questions we would never think of.

Arothyss said...

I has to agree with Seth... C&H was (and still is) one of my all-time favorite comics!

Dat Derpy... Luna looks like she's about to snap.

bronydash said...

#1 is hilarious, and Derpy is adorable like that. #2 is amazing. Anything with Calvin and Hobbes is amazing. That is all.

Brittany said...

#2 made my life. As a literal life-long fan of the comic, anytime a reference is made to C&H I immediately dissolve into a puddle of squee and nostalgia.

megantron said...

@Tears of a Valedictorian My dad bought my sister and me the box set a few years ago because he knew how much we loved C&H when we were growing up. It was an incredibly thoughtful gift and I love how the strips look on the glossy paper, but at the same time, I feel like I can only treat it as a collector's item --can't read it propped up on the kitchen table while eating breakfast, which is how I usually read the paperback anthologies, lol.

Don't Call Me Brony (Please) said...

I'm so glad that Calvin and Hobbes hasn't dropped down the memory hole. That really was one of the best comic strips of the 1980's.

Chandler said...

#2 is... ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!

ElectricZoNe said...

Those are some awesome comics!

Tosxychor said...

The first one is very punny indeed.
The second... oh man, having read the complete C&H, I can't help but love any reference to it. It's just so good to remember and savor.

Whitbane said...

C&H are always awesome, and #2 proved the power of references. DAT ART STYLE.

#1 was good too.

Wierdplatformer said...

1. Derpy, you read our minds. :D

2. Calvin and Hobbs? Excellent!

mycutiemarkisagun said...

Am I the only one who thinks Luna 2.0's neck is....weirdly thick?

DcmRulz said...

Calvin and Hobbes...I think that's every comic now that has been touched by pony. So Awesome!

Aragrist said...

Yeah, there needs to be a lot more Calvin and Hobbes parodies. I like ones where they just take the original panels and change the words to refer to ponies.

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

@megantron

I totally agree, it's way less practical than my beaten up old paperbacks (which were thrown out by mistake recently. We don't speak of this).

But I kind of love how it's a book that you have no choice but to read while reclining on a sofa. There's literally no other way to read it.

I don't kid. You don't know what that comic is in reference to, you need to remedy it. NOW.

FozzyWig said...

Calvin and Hobbes! :D

clom said...

It's calvin and hobbes seth!
Please don't boot me

Rusty Star said...

What is this... "brushing" you speak about?

Aeterial mane fixes itself!

Fitto Palladio said...

Loved the Calvin & Hobbes reference. My full respects for you
