Part 3: [link]
Part 4: [link]
Finally... my Internet has come back (that's why I haven't been on for almost a month) It completely died, and its only just been fixed (Over the last month its been "fixed" many times, but only now has is actually been fixed)
As a result of having no internet for a month, I spent a lot more time on this comic than usual, (it does not show) most of it spent on backgrounds, I'm gonna start drawing my own backgrounds in future ( I hope it doesn't take as long though, they took 10+ hours each..)
So anyway, this comic.. It's odd, I have no idea where the plot came from, but oh well..
4 parts, each rather short (It actually fits into 2 parts, but then each one is awfully huge)
I didn't draw the backgrounds in this part, (I edited some though) credit for them should go here
Also, because I am feeling ridiculous, I'm gonna request Critiques, Go ahead, tear it to pieces!

Vision: The art with the shadows makes it look all dark while still being able to see the ponies, which is good e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="
Originality: I don't see much art and comics set like this, so the general idea is funny, but I've seen Derpy comics where the muffin falls over so that's not really original, unless you came up with that idea.
Technique: The lines manage to look different yet special at the same time, if that makes any sense. That's good e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="
Impact: It was funny! Pinkie sounded just like she usually does, but some grammar errors and word choice didn't sound quite right.

A very fair critique, but If you don't mind me asking, the grammatical errors you speak of, can you provide examples? Whilst I don't doubt I messed up something, knowing where would help me to avoid it in future.

Not too many:
"Interesting, stratagem" shouldn't have a comma
"Thats not important" should be "That's"
"passed that guard" should be "past that guard"
"Its super itchy" should be "It's"

Ah, I am usually guilty of overusing comma's, as well as overusing ellipsis. ...
I usually just use them to imply a short pause in speech, but I like to rotate my usage between ellipsis and comma's, as not to overuse either of them, but I end up doing it anyway. I should probably cut down on them. As for "thats and its should be that's and it's" I admit, I didn't notice that one when I 'proofread' it. I'm gonna have to be more thorough in future, thanks for pointing them out. And I am apparently developing a serial habit of confusing grammatical tenses, my mistake.
Anyway, thanks for bringing those points to my attention, I'm going try and get into the habit of proofreading more in future. Thanks.

PinkaGrammarPony strikes again >:3 lol I'm a nitpicker when it comes to correct grammar, and when I'm using pauses in speech in my fanfics (not on my DeviantART), I usually use a "..." or the like

Ingredients
Serves: 6
200g (8 oz) plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
75g (3 oz) butter
75g (3 oz) sugar
50g (2 oz) desiccated coconut
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 egg
125ml milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation method
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 40 mins | Extra time: 40 mins
1. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together into a bowl. Rub in the butter until mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add sugar, coconut and lime zest.
2. In a separate bowl, beat egg and add 100ml of the milk and vanilla.
3. Make a well in centre of flour mixture. Add liquid and mix well to form a stiff consistency, adding the additional milk if necessary.
4. Place in a greased 15cm (6 inch) cake tin and bake at 180 C / Gas 4 for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Icing ideas...
Try this Coconut cream cheese icing or try a simple buttercream, then sprinkle with more coconut. For an especially pretty presentation, toast the coconut in a dry frying pan for a few minutes over medium heat.

Dear princess Celestia
Had to borrow your guard
Left you a muffin instead.
Derpy.
PS, I got hungry and ate the muffin.

My god this entire comic was flawless. Perfect Pinkie, perfect castle, perfect Ruse.

Ok... I'm not really keeping track of which artist does what, but I believe what I'm gonna refer to was made by someone else. After seeing that the guard was a cutout, I was expecting Derpy and a muffin to be somehow involved.

Twilight's awkwardness with flirting is always good.

Twilight makes a pretty good straight man to Pinkie's insanity

I almost lost it at the "big boy" part. The three comics following this made me facepalm/laugh/derp even harder. This was just epic and Pinkieish/Twilightish to the extreme. I want my steaks rare, but my comics, like this one, well done.
