Comic: Twilight Sparkle Does Epic Meal Time

See below for instructions!


I waited forever for this freakin' comic, and now it's finally here and fully uploaded to the artist's Tumblr account. And, oh my god, is it awesome.

The ordering is strange, since Tumblr only allows a certain number of images to be uploaded per day. Start on the front page, where it says PART 2 (this post in particular). Scroll down, and there are links to all of PART 1. Read those first, obviously.

There are over a hundred panels to this comic, so try not to get lost! It's worth the read and the art is fantastic.

EDIT: It's also been uploaded to Ponibooru if you want to check it out there.

100 panels? O=


i tried to read this earlier... got bored

derpybrony said...

100 panels? the artists in this fandom are amazing

SomeFrenchBrony said...

Awww...he even thanks me...C'mon....such a thing isn't necessary.
It was a pleasure to help you ^^

Sourcils said...

Anyway, this one is a little sad, but the artist is quite talented. One of the best pony-themed Twitter accounts without a doubt.

It would be better to go to this post http://ask-twilightsparkle.tumblr.com/post/12092441867/how-to-read-epic-equestrian-meal-time-hey as it has links for strips of the comic on Ponibooru!

I liked the comic, it was kinda awesome :D

elite-crusader said...

Artist here, thanks so much Equestria Daily !!!
Also, no need to get lost on Tumblr to read it, I made quite a handy post here : http://ask-twilightsparkle.tumblr.com/post/12092441867/how-to-read-epic-equestrian-meal-time-hey
Thank you again !!

Mr Nutt said...

I would read this but 100 pages sounds like a lot of effort to go through right now.

Jelfes said...

Umm, I thin Ponibooru is dying, or something, because I can't load any pages of it.

Bombedrumbum said...

@Jelfes wow. Same here

GuerreroPerdido said...

Yes! I waited forever for EQD to post this! I want everyone to know how amazing this is! <3

Jelfes said...

There we go, loaded a few pages.

Specter Von Baren said...

I'm in despair!!! I want to either see Twilight dressed up as Itoshiki or a ponyfied version of him, STAT!

Vinnyboiler said...

This is soooooooo much win.

Dublio said...

This is heartbreaking because of Pinkie. =(

ScootaChicken said...

Epic Meal Time in 20 minutes?

...20 minutes... 20 MINUTES!!

HASBRO, I DEMAND AN EPISODE OF THIS!

Dublio said...

Oh, I guess I only read Part 1 and not the whole thing. Oh geez, 100 images, that's awesome.

Surprise appearance by Rarity, sweet!

Sourcils said...

Is that me or is Twilight doing a Sharingan in panel 4?
...
Ok, I just thought I would take a quick look and finish later but... aw, buck it, something-this-epic-cant-wait! I have to read the whole thing! Right. Now.

WavemasterRyx said...

@elite-crusader
I already commented on the final part of the comic, but I'll say it again - thank you so very much for sharing your talents with us! This comic was nothing less than a masterpiece.

Snowy Flanks said...

This is a wonderful comic, I love how it ended

Dublio said...

This was a truly epic comic. Thank you for taking a month out of your life to create it for us. Brohoof!

Unknown said...

kudos to him; this was glorious! man I can never imagine doing this much work... I am far too lazy xD

Jelfes said...

Whoa! That's amazing! Great job on this!

Jelfes said...

SO. MANY. REFERENCES!

FlutterSwag said...

I'M YESSING TOO HARD!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGH!!!

ScootaChicken said...

@Jelfes

Dude, I was just about to say that. D:

-Pinkie Pyro
-Epic Cupcake Time
-Powerpuff Girls

Those are the only ones that I remember off the top of my head, though I think there were more.

Sourcils said...

That was F-*neigh*-ing amazing.

Kira Zobel said...

I don't understand any of the references that this is about but, I still loved it!

Jelfes said...

-Blood everywhere(don't remember who said it)
-Meet The Medic(AJ)

And now, she's Pinkie Glasses...

Sethisto said...

I think we blew up ponibooru

Greenf0x said...

@Sourcils

Twilight deff has a Sharingan, in that panel, she is even bleeding from the eyes.

ScootaChicken said...

Oh, yeah. Applejack saying "I have no idea!"

Such an awesome comic.

Gavacob said...

YES, I loved it! you did a great job

ToonNinja said...

Nooooo, Ponibooru! How am I supposed to receive a tidal wave of pics that I'll never be able to properly organize in my pony folder?



...Wait.

nettick said...

ponibooru died. Too many people looking at this comic page maybe.

Bombedrumbum said...

@Sethisto that's not the only thing we've blown up

Kaijyuu said...

Will I hate this if I hated epic cupcake time?

Tylendal said...

Well, I think think we killed Ponibooru. It's been a while since I've seen an accidental brony D-Dos. Always fun to know we have that much power.

jodyjm13 said...

I've never seen Epic Meal Time, and I'm sure I missed at least 90% of the references, but still, I loved it! Thanks, elite-crusader! I loved the line about bronies watching, and I laughed out loud at 8:23. (Also, at 9:15, I think Twilight's enjoying that a leeetle bit too much... *backs away slowly*) You did a great job mixing insanity with heartfelt emotions, and all the characterizations rang true.

dr_vblschrf said...

wow. this was awesome!

Greenf0x said...

This was freaking brilliant, i loved every Rainbow Dash expression.

Maskerade said...

100+ panels?
I'll need a computer for this.

Jelfes said...

@Kaijyuu I didn't know that was even possible...

But no, you should love this regardless of a dislike of Epic Cupcake Time.

jodyjm13 said...

@Kaijyuu
I didn't hate "Epic Cupcake Time", but I thought it was pointless; still, I really enjoyed this comic. Wish I could say for sure whether it's worth your time to try it, but I suspect it is.

Mike said...

this was a good substitute for an episode, what with there not being a new one this week.

@Jelfes
Over the top, out of character antics != funny for me. Well most of the time.

Anywho I'll check it out then.

Greenf0x said...

Next time we eat a library

jodyjm13 said...

@Kaijyuu
Over the top? Yes. Out of character? I didn't think so.

Tylendal said...

I really don't know what I just read.

Shadow Heart said...

The artist fails cause something better already exist that this is ripped from

Look up Epic Cupcake on YouTube. . .

Tell me it isn't ripped

Kaijyuu said...

Okie dokie, finished reading.

Most the jokes fell flat for me, being simple references. Characterization was pretty good, though not perfect. More text than necessary.

Damn good art, though. No complaints there.


Worth my time reading. I'll give it 4 out of 5 arbitrary ranking units.

Shadow Heart said...

Forgot that we all Bronies and most likely all know about that video

Disregard my last comment, and remember

I LOVE YOU ALL STRANGERS!!!

DPV111 said...

Rainbow Whipped Cloud Cream. R34 this NOW!

DPV111 said...

@Shadow Heart

Epic Cupcake Time is a rip on Epic Meal Time TV show. This is a rip on Epic meal time and self conciously has 2 nods to the Epic Cupcake Time video.

I think my favorite part was Pinkie Pyro.

Ha, "Pinkie Pyro" dang that sounds awesome. Though I wouldn't be surprised if somepony already thought of that name.

Shadow Heart said...

@DPV111

@Spikely Whiplash

First off, I'm loco in the coco

Secondly, I love chaos

Put one and two together to get their son 3 in about 9 months and you'll know what I did.

Also whay was Spikely removed

Baron said...

Epic drawing skills! This sh-NEIGH is what inspires me to do random doodles on napkins. I'll definitely be checking out any future stuff by Ask-Twilight Sparkle. Love the shoutouts to all the stuff!

*XKatz* said...

This comic is WAY different to epic cupcake time,the story has emotional and touching moments, the final letter to princess celestia it's kinda sad and inspirational, I wasn't expecting such a very great and heartwarming story, but this surprised me!

@@elite-crusaderu

This is one of the best comics about MLP I've ever read!, Thank you so much!

invinible said...

Can we name all the ingredients that were used? I remember there being flour, sugar, butter, apples, candy, chemical agent x, and apple jack.

Sothalic said...

Epic indeed, wow! Seeing as how there's Shadowbolt RD, it would mean it's been drawn in... about a week, the second part at least? Or is that just a coincidence? Simply amazing!

DPV111 said...

@Baron

This is probably my single favorite Ask Pony blog period.

The strips dealing with Cupcakes, the hiatus, the sexy tattooed Twilight, the super sad Twi and Spike one from a while back, and now this. So much awesome and emotion I have never seen anywhere.

ActionScripter9109 said...

Tumblr is over capacity. No dice. :(

Filiecs said...

This is freaking BEAUTIFUL!

Chase said...

This was amazing!

Dublio said...

@DPV111

Wait, all of these comics are coming from the same Ask Pony blog? -checks-

Holy crap, how did I miss that? That's freaking awesome. I love this artist 10 times as much now.

-hugs-

Zer0kooldown said...

Does this artist have an art page i could check out?

Timofei said...

For those who don't want to navigate ponibooru or tumblr, go here and read them in reverse order: http://bronibooru.mlponies.com/post/index?tags=parent%3A18180

Tosxychor said...

Of all the things I imagined the artist would do, this is. THE BEST. POSSIBLE. THING.

MuffinShy said...

THE.BEST.POSSIBLE.THING.
But really this comic rocked.

Wierdplatformer said...

I laughed, I cried, and I nerded out. I think this calls for the epic stamp of approval.

Macon Mixx said...

That was purely amazing! Thanks so much to Ask Twilight Sparkle! :D

Flare Tumble said...

I loved this! The author should be a writer for the show! It had everything that goes into an episode and more. I give it a 8999.9 out of 9000. Why the point 9? There was no fluttershy. If there was no rarity i could understand but he had 5 of the 6. Thats my only complaint, well not a complaint really, just a little pin prick.

Sotha said...

Wow. They actually gave it a nice and sweet ending; that was unexpected.
