I assume that unicorns and pegasi are forbidden to be wrestlers because of their "augmented powers." Earth ponies have their strength, and that's what wrestling is all about. Will Cheerilee's pupils get extra credit for attending this match?

Oh well... This is the closest MLP is likely to get to a "drug use motif" tag. Enjoy the moment. The main cover appears to be a parody of the Nowhere Man scene in YELLOW SUBMARINE.

Got it.

Rarity is NOT Goofy, aka Mr. Squaredumb, from A GOOFY MOVIE, going berserkers over every manufactured tourist attraction. Of course, Applejack was a bit thick in that story, as well. That is probably my least favorite of the Cook-Price efforts to date.

I am now back at work (though not teaching fulltime until the spring) and my health is good. There will be an interesting "competition" between Disney and MLP for buyer dollars once IDW gets the new Disney line rolling. I'm going to support both, of course. Mon, 17 Nov 2014 00:21:05 +0000 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/11/equestria-daily-interview-series_15.html#IDComment913289364 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/11/equestria-daily-interview-series_15.html#IDComment912797892 She's really good. I like the way that IDW has allowed other comics talents to develop their own personal styles and approaches, but Cook and Price set the bar VERY high right out the chute. I'm enjoying these MLP comics more than any non-Disney "all ages" comics I've read since, well, I don't know how long. And the best of them give the top Disney talents good runs for their bucks, as well.

I do like seeing the different art styles. It reminds me of old Harvey and Disney comics in a way, in that the same character can be drawn in drastically different ways and still be immediately recognizable. Fri, 14 Nov 2014 20:26:07 +0000 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/11/friends-forever-11-released-today.html#IDComment911955212 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/11/friends-forever-11-released-today.html#IDComment911954766 Nothing wrong with this offering. "Fearless" Fosgitt boldly presented a drastically different art style, one that presented the adult characters (Spitfire and Dash) as "Toonier" than they truly are. The facial expressions and reactions are great. Showing Spitfire to have hooves of clay (in a manner of speaking) in this context was FAR more convincing than her unfortunate turn as a conniving, turncoat villain in "Rainbow Falls." The reason for her reticence with the kids was believable... though I would hardly describe her behavior to the recruits as "mean." Demanding, maybe. And it was nice to see Dash helping another character to learn a valuable lesson, as opposed to getting a slapdown on how egotistical, non-bookish, arrogant, etc. she is. That's another side to the element of loyalty, namely, helping your friends to recognize flaws in their behavior and to correct them because, well, they're your friends.

That would be a great contrast of styles!

Hickey has come a long way from that squash-monster comic. Sun, 9 Nov 2014 16:18:01 +0000 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/11/original-idw-my-little-pony-comic-art.html#IDComment908428902 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/10/my-little-pony-friends-forever-13.html#IDComment894799433 The most obvious "unprecedented pairing" that MLP:FF could do, but hasn't, is Rarity and Rainbow Dash. Rarity and Scootaloo would probably have much the same vibe as R&RD. But this teamup is perfectly fine. Anyone remember BAILEY'S COMETS? Is there a "team roller-skating race" in this duo's future, for a million-bit prize?

The "I Luna" horse is out of the barn.

I watched the San Diego Con metastasize into a media monstrosity so I can understand the sentiment, but still... This is "Git offa my orchard!" raised to a power of 10 or so.

Creatinine level has dropped to normal, my catheter is out and I am walking the unit regularly. I should be getting out just when people are hitting town for BronyCon. Sorry I can't be there but be sure to count your blessings, the most precious of which is good health!

That ship has long since sailed (and don't get any cute ideas from my use of language). Still prefer that Luna use the royal We consistently, but that's just personal choice. Luna has been handled quite well in the comics and this looks to be more of that delightful same.

I go into Johns Hopkins tomorrow for my kidney transplant. My brother is serving as the live donor. Sorry to say, I won't be able to attend BronyCon, but I am hopeful that this operation will ensure my participation at future cons.

Theoretically, IDW COULD bring the doofus duo back, but perhaps they feel that the franchise is pretty much played out. My big regret re the Mike Judge empire is that we never got a KING OF THE HILL comic.

I'm glad he ditched the creepy mouth distortions in which it appeared that characters' mouths and jaws were detached from their faces.
