If a comic relies on annoying a certain section of its audience, it is not funny. Mocking font elitists with that one "My Hobby: Sending thank-you letters in Papyrus to font elitists and then seeing them try to act grateful" strip, or that one strip that was a long string of Neologisms made purely to irritate pedants, etc, etc.

ATC, if you're genuinely that ignorant, do us all a favor and lurk, don't post-a mod

I don't think there's ever been an XKCD featuring My Little Pony ponies, but there is this

one.

@ATC:

That just means it's not funny to you. A comic doesn't automatically become objectively bad just because you don't care for that type of humor.

I think it's OK to laugh at yourself. I loved that one about anthropology majors, and I'm an anthropology major.

He doesn't really mean any of that stuff. It's Rule of Funny.

I understand you might not like it personally, though, even if I do.

And we can love it and still think the guy who wrote it is an asshole. (I just love that Hark! A Vagrant one, though.)

It's totally OK.

Read it right now! It's only one small stanza!

Have some fat pony adventures while I'm at it.

Did you ever read Watchmen?

I kind of guessed who the bad guy would be cause of the association of that name.

I love when things mean more than one thing, like, "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair." Talk about Harsher in Hindsight.

Has he done a pony comic yet?

Not yet, surprisingly enough.

I remember seeing a poster of the Map of the Internet this summer and being surprised at how times have changed. If he did another one I bet bronies would figure prominently.

@Connie Watchmen is awesome. I think The Killing Joke might be my favourite Alan Moore work though.

The funny part is that the Watchmen are much more famous than the characters they paraody.

Next, you should look up Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Kublai Khan and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner are cool.

@Purps: I'd have to agree. And for once, someone other than me brought up Batman!

Now the tough question - are there any comics that haven't been ponified?

Obligatory.

Relevant to both ponies and Batman.

Tried to look up ponified superheroes from The Outsiders.

Found this instead.

What about Children of the Red King? I bet that's obscure enough to have never been ponified.
