Comic: My Best Pet / Book Signing

Click for Full
Every time I think I've seen all the possible crossovers there could ever be with ponies, artists somehow still manage to surprise me! Check above for a bit of nostalgia.

Below, we have Rainbow Dash meeting with her idol: Daring Do!

No Comments? FIRST!
good... i've got that out of my system

#1 I loved those cartoons, or at least the reruns they showed in the 90's.

Celestia said...

#1 Heh heh, someday it will be shorter to list all the things we havent crossed over than the things we have.

#2 Oh dear, poor Dash. Maybe they're long lost relatives.

Both comics were good.

#1: June Foray needs to guest voice in FIM. Seriously.

#1: Favorite cartoon series currently airing crossed over with favorite cartoon series of all time == Win!

#2: One of Toxic Mario's best. Apparently Rainbow Dash didn't realize just how much like Daring Do she is.

FreezingShock said...

@MyBoyJ Well, Daring is just a Rainbow Dash palette swap, so they look exactly the same.

Which is also why Daring Do actually existing doesn't work for me; her appearance can no longer be explained by Rainbow Dash projecting attributes of herself onto the character.

1. ???

2. Stars are so stuck up. They think it all about them.

1st: never ever seen Rocky and Bullwinkle, looks funny. This is one of the bad thing of being the new generations of kids =/

Brubaker said...

I pity the people who've never seen "Rocky and Bullwinkle". One of the best from the early days of TV animation.

Although I think the best part of the show were the Fractured Fairy Tales.

@FreezingShock

I know she's just a palette swap of Rainbow. I also don't think it makes sense for Daring-Do to actually exist either. The books seem to be fictional adventure stories, but the existence of Daring-Do implies that they were autobiographical. Unless of course they are a fiction and Daring-Do just inserted herself into the story, like Clive Cussler does.

In any case, I'm overthinking a comic based on a cartoon show.

@Brubaker

I preferred Mr. Peabody and Sherman and the Way Back Machine.

ChrisCola said...

I laughed at #1 a bit longer than I'd like to admit :)

Octavia said...

#1 Doh ho ho. Rocky and Bullwinkle reference. Been a long time since I've seen that. Feel kinda bad the last Rocky and Bullwinkle thing I saw on TV was that newer CGI film. lol Not a bad film though in my opinion.

#2 Haha. Ouch. Poor RD. It's not her fault the two are basically just recolors. :P

A thunder of jets in a open sky, a streak of grey, and a cheerful "Hi!" A loop, a whirl, a vertical climb, and once again you'll know it's time for the adventures of *Crash!* Rocky and Bullwinkle! And Friends. Staring that supersonic speedster, Rocket J. Squirrel! With his pal Bullwinkle the moose!

(Did not have to look that up. One of the best cartoons ever.)

#1 Had that been the case, I think the pet search would have ended right there. Go Rocky!!!

#2 Poor Rainbow can't ever catch a break, can she. Probably laughed a little longer than I should have. And that's a nice muffin/book balancing act by Derpy.

Ted Wakeman said...

I'm sorry, but I can't enjoy #2 to the full enjoyment because...gah, I hate to be nitpicky, but....

Daring-Do technically isn't supposed to exist in the "real world" of the show...

Phantom240 said...

#1 made me nostalgia hard on the old 90's reruns. I used to watch rocky and bullwinkle all the time. I thought of rocky when I sa may the best pet win... now its a comic, lol

iloveMLP said...

lol it is true though
that RD looks alot like Daring Do

Toxic-Mario said...

@Ted WakemanThat's the point. I know that but I just wanted to try something out of the box.

Brubaker said...

@EPHorizon
Heh, I remember that, although I'm more familiar with the "Bullwinkle Show" intro.

"Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends" was a rerun title. The show was originally called "Rocky and His Friends". Here's the intro with the original theme song.

Oh my gosh! Rocky! Now we need a bullwinkle/ mlp comic!

MiColt said...

#1 I honestly cannot fathom how Rocky slipped my mind, considering I did see reruns of that show (way in the past).

I'm kind of surprised nobody crossed that part of the episode over with Rescue Rangers though. Anyone remember the pink bat Foxglove?

I'm only 24, but I knew EXACTLY where #1 was going.

"Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" *Apple Bloom in a bunny costume comes out of the hat*

Senior Waffles said...

#1 Oh my goodness. Words can not describe how many levels of awesome this has!

#2 :D "Your Zuko costume is pretty good. But your scar is on the wrong side!"

Wakko said...

#2 I knew someone would make a joke about the similar models.
