Another Bon Pun

Needs more Zero Two edit

@Apple You need to draw him bigger, though. Those tiny sketches aren't going to be good for much detailed design.

@Apple: Can't look at them now because I'm on a work computer. Will look when I get home.

@Apple: I do like the design, though like Lurker said it could be bigger.

Yeah, when drawing digitally it's usually best to draw the image at a high resolution so you can do the details easier. Like if you want the final product to be 1000 x 1000, make the canvas size larger, and then shrink it down when you're done.

Um, hey guys. Happy new Year. Ee-yup.

Happy mew year, I guess. Still ten hours left here.

Every year should be a Mew Year. Alas.

Happy 2013 :V

It's not the new year yet, silly. Everyone knows East Coast time is the one that matters :P

Yeah, I still have almost 12 hours to go.

All that means is that we got to 2013 first

Happy Belated Heartswarming Eve, everypony!

Cookies :3

No spoilers Ace, ...and no spoilers Freeman, ....then again it's not like shit gets real until it's 2013 in California.

2013 will be year the Earth totally jumped the shark.

I don't think Mew would really care to have his own year.

Ed-man, we're pretty much always in the future.

Re Batty, he's not as adorable as I imagined. Then again, I guess he's not supposed to look adorable at first, is he? :/

No spoiler mercy for people who have the temerity to be in the wrong time zone :P

Scary animals from Cracked with love. Insomnia included

I was just looking around when I looked at some MDW conversations, they gave me a headache. I don't think I've ever had that happen to me before.

The one about the species of bat attacking European flies having sex is hilarious.

@Kyler: Time travelling is fun! Except when we have to talk to people in the past. Ugh, guys. Keep up.

I'm banned from the future. They won't let me in.

Tiggers Are Great: The complaints issued to Family Guy are less there are no clear cut Straight Men, but more there are no characters capable of basic clarity anymore. There's a difference between a flawed character and one with next to no redeeming aspects whatsoever. It's even worse when they actually try to put one of them on a pedestal and they usually come off as nothing short of hypocritical Designated Heroes (eg. Lois or Brian).

My issue with AJ is said spotlight episodes don't do a very good job displaying her Not so Above It All qualities anymore, either because she is Out of Focus or because they are kind of watered down in execution. I have no problem with her occasionally being a Straight Man or even being one primarily, so long as we get her flaws displayed vividly enough at a substantial rate. Apple Family Reunion was supposed to be her token character defining episode this season, but it felt mundane and recycled a plot more fitting to one of the other ponies.

This is why I liked S1 Applejack, she still was often the Straight Man but her flawed roles were done frequent and well enough she seemed like a developed character, if not one of the most developed of the main six.

Straight Man don't have to be bland and normal anyway, most of them are in fact haughty, bad tempered or highly neurotic, as such as much humor is from their reactions as the wacky character's antics. S1 AJ, who was more distinctively irritable even in her moments of clarity seemed to have a better balance.
