Nightly Roundup #1015

Nothing like a bouquet of fresh flowers. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons just for those reasons. Speaking of, I hope you all are doing well this summer (or winter down south) and that you all have a pleasant weekend ahead.

Check on after the break for a small pile of news!

Nightly Discussion #46

The music in this show is one of the things I look forward to each season! I'm really glad cartoons in general, not just MLP, have been doing musical numbers. It really does add something to the overall presentation.

Time to chill out and get ready for the weekend. Chat on my friends!

The staff at TrotCon can't wait either and have already figured out their theme for next year.

Comic: Family Ties / Sweet Apple Summer / Little Apples / Find Yourself Pt 1 / Grumpy Discord

Guess that would explain some things. But if Apple Family cooking is as good as we hear it is I'd do anything to go to one of their reunions too.

More comics guys! We even have one that just hit 50 pages (Find Yourself) about a young pegasus named Alice that has yet to find her destiny after all these years. It's a vector comic and looks pretty good! Check out page one below among the rest.
