Description
Next page -- Previous page -- First page
My longest page this far. Lots of stuff happening, starting with the discussion on cartoon hands, then introducing 2 "new" major characters, and their connection with BonBon. Also, the outdoors backgrounds you see in here are, for the first time, all vectored by me, which is why it took so long to get this page done. :3 (Of course, the individual buildings as well as the veggie cart were based on screenshots from the show. So still, praises go the animator team where it looks awesome and scolding goes to me where it doesn't. :3)
I've dug into the Derpy - Ditzy "controversy", and finally I decided that I call her both. Some say that in Winter Wrap up there was a different pony who brought the birds back, while they sent Ditzy: my answer is, since Ditzy went into a completely wrong direction, and after they realized this they sent somepony else. They didn't frown much on poor Derpy after she got back empty hoofed, they are kinda used to incidents like this. She got depressed a bit, but her little family is always there to comfort her.
With this disease idea, I can explain why her eyes are normal on one occasion, and derped on another. And also can keep her goofy side that at least half the fandom loves.
Of course, she was bullied frequently when she was a filly (mainly by those pegasi who bullied Fluttershy too), "Derpy" was an insult till she started using it with pride (because she realized that if she doesn't take offense to it, it takes away the point the bullies are using it for).
Also, in this universe she adopted an abandoned filly and named her Dinky Doo. (Here Ditzy is a young adult, in human years she's in her early twenties. I'll most likely do an age distribution summary among the major characters or something, most of them are young adults, with Berry being the oldest.) Although there's no blood relation between them, they act like loving mother and daughter.
As for what's the relation between Derpy and Carrot Top... friendship? Or maybe more? I won't dig into this, I leave it to the readers to decide what goes better with their headcanon. :3
As always, MLP:FiM is owned by Hasbro and created by , I make no profit of this whatsoever, please don't sue me.

Technically, humans donβt have five fingers either. The thumb is not actually a fingerβ¦
Of course, Lyra might not be aware of the distinction.
On DerpyTop: while I know you are leaving things unclear, obviously Sea Swirl still ships them right?

"The English word "finger" has two senses, even in the context of appendages of a single typical human hand:
- Any of the five digits.
- Any of the five terminal members of the hand, especially those other than the thumb."
The thumb is a digit, thus I count it as a finger.
"obviously Sea Swirl still ships them right"
Her special talent is that she can sense the smallest hint of romantic attraction between ponies. If there's no such thing between two ponies, she doesn't ship them.
(On the other hoof, I hold up my right to change my stance on the DerpyTop relationship in the future. But I leave that open now, I don't have such plans for them either. :3)

You're a Brony Awesome, you make a great series on Lyra and surpass you pass. Your comic is so magic and quality as the series, is wonderful. Dialogues, expreciones, images are stunning. I like you to take into account nicknames like: Golden Harvest aka Carrot Top, that pleases everyone. It's a great job, that Celestia bless you. Sorry for my bad English, but I wanted to thank you and give my opinion. You deserve a reward for your effort friend.

Do you remember me?
It's me, who asked if i can translate your comics into Korean.
I've done it, including this part. (In fact, I translated your comics, whenever you post them. I'm sorry about that.)
If you need link, I'll give it.
Just to inform you.
Anyway, I love your comics! Only thing I want is, next.. next part..

Derpy/Ditzy & Carrot Top/Golden Harvest
Unless I'm missing any pairs this should be them.

well, keep in mind it is (or at least was) an experimental... well what in this world would be called an untested drug being used on a pony in an uncontrolled environment with no well documented testing, or simulations, as far as we, or the authorities know, that well-intentioned remedy could have caused Ditzy a heart attack, or something.

well, i guess thats true. but what about the candy for Derpy. that is only for helping a friend with a illness that the local doctor doesn't know about.

TriteBristle In reply to Mikkillerib [2013-02-06 12:03:13 +0000 UTC]
From the viewpoint of the law, this isn't much different from a witch doctor pouring dust into the wounds of someone which is said to be good for that person, while it will most likely make things worse.
In this case luckily BonBon knows what she's doing, and checks every formula and calculations ten times before she gives the results to Ditzy.

Just warning you. Not many take the whole adoption thing well. And the fandom is extra protective of Derpy after "The last raoundup."

Just because these comics are awesome, I read them over again. It's kinda weird how it has only been three days (more like two full days and the end of the day when she was found). It's not bad that it has been such a short time, reading them over, it seems like an appropriate time lapse. Also, when is Lyra going to see her notebook? Or when are we going to see it?

Wow! You really put a lot of thought and backstory into this universe! I know people who would say the actions and personalities of their characters were based on the solid reasoning of "BECAUSE I SAID SO!" I really like how you are developing each character for what will certainly be a longer comic! Thanks a billion!

Nice! Though if you keep on going "Alias" bah blah, its going to take away from the story. Go with one or the other, or say "But ponies just call her...". When you put Alias it just sounds too...formal...which could tie in with Bon Bon but not really...
Oh look Skirts commented! Now I can never look at this comic the same again....
