FluffyWuffs said...

More ship fics? Where is this power..

Krizak said...

That first one is hilarious, but as just about the first comic I've seen involving the colt tentatively known as Chowder, I fear this comic is going to shape his characterization in the brony community... FOREVER.

Flutterfan said...

Diamond Tiara-Applebloom shpping? NOOO! This must be stopped before it spreads.

#1 That should teach Pudgy not to eavesdrop on other ponies.

#2 Um...should I be worried?

MyBoyJ said...

A Hey Arnold parody, yes please! In the show they seemed to be trying to crowbar that gray colt into as many scenes as possible. I wonder why...

jimmynator said...

with the first sentence i immediately thought of hey arnold and it was!
long live classic cartoons

ombutescentdin said...

Whats this ship called? DiamondBloom? Eh whatever,great comic tho!

Hura manual labor!

D. Shadows said...

1. And then there's Chunk standing behind you breathing creepily down your neck.

2. Hopefully she can regrow her wings again, the queen just isn't the same without them.

Jigglysaint said...

Appletiara? Blewww, but actually works perfectly if anybody's watched Hey Arnold. Actually come to think about it, I noticed that back in the Mysterious Mare Do Well episode, Applejack names both her hind legs much the way Helga(was that her name?) named both of her fists. Maybe I was the only one who caught that, and honestly, I hardly watched any Hey Arnold. Hmm, maybe it was a Recess reference instead?

Princess Luna said...

...that first one confuses me, and I found the doctor.

D. Shadows said...

@Jigglysaint

Yes her name was Helga... I forgot how to spell her name but I think 'patacky'.

Many shows did the fist naming thing, like my left fist is named 'Weclome' my right is named 'Topain'.

Masquerade said...

Is ThAt A hEy ArNoLd ReFeReNcE?
t(-.-t)
As if we don't get enough of those...

Ah, Derpy. You really are... Just so derpy.

Dawnmist said...

So much nostalgia in the first one <3 Oh how I miss that show.

@D. Shadows
Geeze, hey Arnold... That certainly brings back memories. Albeit few.

ladies brony said...

I may have been a little too young to enjoy Hey Arnold or Nictoons other good 'ol shows, but I still got the reference before reading Seth's caption, and for that, I am proud.

Princess Luna said...

I have heard of such shows and at times have seen it fit to watch them out of curiosity. This show I have not, somepony fill me in on the details please...it has been 1000 years after all...

ThinLine_3RX said...

I wonder if Seth has read the article on encyclopedia about him? And I loved the comics, the first one reminds me of a similar one with Trixie and Twilight. Good day to you all.

ombutescentdin said...

@Princess Luna

You toss around a 1000 years so casually? Eh, Princess?

Travis Smith said...

Welcome to the world of people that don't like there characters shipped

Princess Luna said...

@ombutescentdin Should I rather deny my big sister sent me away for 1000 years because I got jealous and exploded in rage? It was bad for both of us and our reputations.

MyBoyJ said...

@Princess Luna

With pleasure Princess. Arnold, played here by Apple Bloom, is the main character and is constantly bullied by a girl named Helga, played here by Daimond Tiara, even though Helga has a secret crush on Arnold.

Travis Smith said...

#1 I miss Hey Arnolnd, it was good

#2 It's funny cause I get it, even though I don't watch it

hoverhoof said...

@luna it was a show about some school aged "humans", centering on one which had a head resembling a ball or something.
And this helga girl hated him, but at the same time secretly loved him

WaffleSmart said...

Come on... hey Arnold sucked ass...

Princess Luna said...

@MyBoyJ That clears it up, thank you.

@hoverhoof Thank you too, blunter way of putting it, and I know what humans are, I've talked to them. Surprisingly the ponies in most of their dimensions are more like the mythical horses, and they aren't sentient.

gillnavisingh said...

Oh that Hey Arnold reference reminds of the one with Trixie punching Snails from a few weeks back...

MyBoyJ said...

@MyBoyJ
"Diamond" not "Daimond".

Also, the gray colt is playing a character named Brainy from Hey Arnold. Brainy would always appear, breathing heavily, behind Helga after she finished a romantic monologue about Arnold and she would usually punch him in the face. Brainy seemed to have a crush on Helga, even though his feelings were never reciprocated.

Ragneki5880 said...

pffft, Hey Arnold joke is always good.

Princess Luna said...

I didn't know my guards were on here!

@Ragneki5880 Hello it's your princess!

Masquerade said...

Anyone wanna take a jab at why some of our comments have 'PM' in them?

Princess Luna said...

@Masquerade Where I am it's post morning, in other words my night, so why wouldn't it be? Is their anything wrong with my night?

Avehand1 said...

@Krizak OMYGOSH UR RIGHT!
Man! i miss Chowder...

Pirate Robot said...

Uhhh that Hey Arthur one was a tad strange, don't get me wrong i've watched "Hey Arthur!" before and I totally understand the joke, but I don't feel comfortable with her being like that hah...

chrislizetti said...

where are derpys wings

Princess Luna said...

@hoverhoof I answered you back in the other comments post when you asked about my cabinet.

Jimperator said...

That Hey Arnold parody.

I could not

Stop

Laughing.

jodyjm13 said...

<TwilightSparkle_mode>
pm, when referring to time, is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "Post meridiem", meaning "after midday" or "after noon". (And in this case, unlike in the Nightly Roundups, Latin means the ancient language of the Roman Empire.)
</TwilightSparkle_mode>

Aside from that, I'm not seeing "PM" anywhere, so I can't speculate.

Yes, the joke in the first one was done a few months ago with Trixie and Twilight, but it's still amusing.

The second one, even with Derpy's missing wings, has good art and dialogue, leading up to a really low-key punchline; I like it.

Princess Luna said...

@jodyjm13 I should know that, I practically kept the language alive in Equestria for the most part.

DashAttack said...

At first I was like, "What is with this random Diamond Tiara being mean nonsense? D:"

Then I was like, "HEY ARNOLD! REFERENCE! :D"

And my inner child squealed in joy.

Papa Prinny said...

The first comic is offensive. Naughty dialog. I had hoped EQD was better than this.

herpyderpy said...

#1 Ah, the good old days.

#2 Where's Derpy's wings? D:

Kyronea said...

1. Hah, it's been ages since I've seen Hey Arnold. If anyone thinks this is naughty or out of character or something like that, please go do a bit of research on Hey Arnold, specifically the title character of Arnold and the character of Helga.

2. How far do you think we can push it? We'll probably push it sideways until our lungs explode.

ilovebagelz said...

1#- LOL! Nice, I love the Guy's (Chowder) expression and the Shipping, WE MUST SPREAD THIS!

2#- Eh, I really like the art though, Nicely done, I love Docter Whooves expressions too. ;)

Better comics, nice.

Greenf0x said...

Omg, Hey Arnold reference.

GWGV said...

I loved Hey Arnold! Nostalgia'd hard with that first comic.

KTS said...

1. Hey Arnold reference. I like it. Diamond Tiara saying all those things about Applebloom.

2. Doctor just give her a muffin.

PikalaxALT said...

Anyone else notice the lightning-bolt on her forehead in the last two panels? DIAMOND TIARA IS HARRY POTTER!!!

SgtGarand said...

lol, love #1 for the sheer nostalgia it brought back.

Not sure whats really going on in #2...but Derpy forgot to bring her wings

Dachimotsu said...

Seth... You mispelled Apple Bloom again...

pmcollectorboy said...

"my fillyhood tremble"
*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

Yes. I realize that I've got a dirty mind.

Bastoff said...

@PikalaxALT She probably stole the fat foals glasses after beating him up, too... o_o

Octavia said...

#1 Haha. Yay, Hey Arnold! The putting socks on eachother part made me giggle as did the inevitable end. ;)

#2 Dat joke. Jeez. :P Dr Whoof was actually more silly than Derpy here. lol

jodyjm13 said...

@Dachimotsu
Sethisto was just repeating the way the comic's artist spelled "Applebloom". And why is the official spelling "Apple Bloom" anyway?

DPV111 said...

If I ever hear another word about Diamond Tiara's "trembling fillyhood"...
I have no brain bleach... Bourbon will suffice.

Benja [Chile] said...

It wasen't that much of a Shipping, Just a Hey arnold! Reference

Doctor Façade said...

I didn't think anyone even remembered Hey, Arnold! anymore.

Dachimotsu said...

@jodyjm13 You should probably check the show's credits.

EPHorizon said...

Geez, I just looked it up to see; turns out Hey Arnold is over 15 years old. The fact that I got that joke amazes me.

Either way, good comics all around.

Kingzero said...

When cartoons were good? They stopped?

Kinetic said...

Awesome! Thanks EqD, and thanks to you guys for the great comments! :D

Veggie55 said...

Hey Arnold, oh my nostalgia (:

Jacky2734 said...

I would have laughed more at the first comic if it hadn't already been done with Twilight, Trixie, and Snails.

Inspira said...

I burst out laughing from reading the first comic. It was just... perfect. Especially that last part. Hit the whole typical Helga-watching-Arnold-from-afar scene right on.

Ten said...

Ahhh Hey Arnold, now that bring back memories. Brilliant comic.
#2 hahaha get pushing Derpy!

PVRyohei said...

There was something about the first one that I loved so much I almost died, and it wasn't the reference.

relias said...

Oh my goodness that Hey Arnold comic is *the best possible thing*

jodyjm13 said...

@Dachimotsu
Thanks, but that just confirms that the official spelling is "Apple Bloom", not why. I suspect (given how often it's used) most people prefer "Applebloom", and it would also seem to be easier to trademark/copyright/whatever Hasbro does with these names.

Given that the official spelling was used in the comic itself, I'm guessing the artist went with "Applebloom" in the title to make it more similar to "Hey Arnold!"; a nice touch.

Firmly_Grasp_It said...

Thanks to Nostalgia Critic, all I see when I think of Helga is Gollum. Now, I will think of Gollum whenever I see Diamond Tiara.

rockopoly456 said...

Oh, NOW i get the hey arnold! reference.

Also on a completely unrelated note, can someone explain the socks meme to me???

VioletYoshi said...

Haha, what was with that weird kid with the glasses, who always showed up when Helga was talking about her love for Arnold. Also, remember the Arnold shrine Helga had in her closet?

jodyjm13 said...

@rockopoly456
The only explanation for the socks meme is that there is no explanation for the socks meme.

TheLittleTpot said...

I always KNEW Diamond Tiara was a tsundere!
