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.

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.

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.

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.

#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

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.

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.

@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.

@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.
