Yeah, I recall IDW recently publishing a collection of the Tenth Doctor's comic strip stories.

Didn't they publish The Walking Dead too?

Beautiful word, shenanigans.

Do you think ponies have April Fools Day?

I wouldn't know.

Every day is April Fool's day when you live in a town with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie :3

Axios!

Idea.

There's a (possibly false) origin story for real life April Fool's Day. April used to be the first month of the year, but in the 16th century Europe switched to counting January as the first month. Those who persisted in celebrating the New Years on April 1st were made fun of as "April Fools" and subjected to pranks.

So, to translate that into Equestria: Over a millennium ago, April 1st was a holiday in honor of Princess Luna, but when she became Nightmare Moon and got banished, the holiday itself fell out of fashion. Soon, those who persisted in celebrating April 1st were branded "Lunatics" (which was later shortened to "loons") and became the butt of practical jokes. And now in the modern day, the origins of April Loon's Day are forgotten by everypony besides the royal sisters.

In Equestria it's been renamed Pinkie Pie Day.

Beautiful word, shenanigans.

@ Meta

That is a very good idea. Mind if I used it?

Tealove is best pony. Ask The Mane Six

@Apple: Go ahead. I don't foresee having anyplace to use it myself.

@Meta: In the present day, Luna has used it as an excuse to re-enact her ancient running prankwars with Celestia.

Thank you! I think the Night Ponies have a holiday now.

The griffins also participate, but they call their prank victims poisson d'Avril ("April fish"). Nopony knows what's up with that.

Isn't The Walking Dead by Image?

Fanfiction I hate.

#293189 Purple Dalek Sat, 13th Oct '12 12:47:42 PM from the Moon

(looks it up)

Oh yeah. Looks like I got them mixed up.

Beautiful word, shenanigans.

At Canterlot Castle, accidentally setting off booby-trapped pranks is an occupational hazard.

Yeah, I'm a streetlight, choking on the heat.

The world spins around while I'm frozen to my seat.

#293191 storyyeller Sat, 13th Oct '12 1:15:56 PM from Appleloosa

Now I'm picturing Cantlerlot Castle like the castle in Super Mario 64.

@Meta: Sounds good to me.

What is Canterlot Castle like anyway? Do you think it has suits of armour that move by themselves?

Beautiful word, shenanigans.

#293194 storyyeller Sat, 13th Oct '12 1:38:13 PM from Appleloosa

Well we've seen parts of it before.

Hey guys, you know Dusk's Dawn, the fan made episode series using OC's that is in the works? The first episode is out!

I can't watch it yet, so I don't know how good it is, but it seems well received.

Late post on the comics situation. I'm really not surprised. The major comic book franchises have not been doing well, and with eager fanbase that is willing to eat up practically anything this franchise it's pretty inevitable.

Also having seen some of the preview pages it seems like the comic seems pretty inline with show, but with some more fan service and pop culture references.

So, the comics are fairly well catered to bronies then?

Alrighty, updated my liveblog

with stuff on The Unexpected Love Life of Dusk Shine. Time for a load of unfunny Skyrim memes.

Fanfiction I hate.

#293199 Mio Sat, 13th Oct '12 2:41:28 PM

Seems that way. We will have to wait for the issues to actually hit before we can say for sure.
