Unicorn
on December 10, 2012 at 12:01 amI just checked my Dumbing of Age buffer to see if this strip runs the same day as the DoA strip I wrote this morning about unicorns, but sadly, no, that will have published five days prior to this. Dang.
Also, dude, Joe, I know you think you’re being a clever troll, but Danny is totes going to be into that snowglobe.
Loading ...
Danny is the kind of guy who likes My Little Pony so he’ll probably adore it.
But I don’t believe that Danny is a Pinky Pie fan.
No, no, this is 1997. They’re just starting G2, and Pinkie Pie was G3.
Since we’re talking sparkly and pink unicorn, that clearly means it’s either G1 Twilight or Milky Way (both have sparkly stars, and Milky Way’s cover much of her body), or maybe Bangles (She’s not actually sparkly, but she’s fuzzy and it makes her look kinda sparkly in pictures, so there’s that).
… I just spent like ten minutes looking at the My Little Pony wiki for that joke. WHY?
Because you are dedicated to your craft.
Whenever I watch that cartoon, there’s always at least one moment where the universe swims into to focus, and I think “My god, I am watching a cartoon geared toward little girls that stars pastel colored ponies! What is WRONG with me?!”
Then Pinkie Pie does something funny, and the moment passes.
You know, I was all set to be impressed, and then you told us you had to consult a wiki to put the joke together.
Geez, Jackson. Don’t be a jerk.
Hey. I was four in ’97. It was either wiki research or letting a perfectly good joke go to waste.
Besides, I thought there might have been an actual line of sparkly unicorns in G1.
Also, Pinkie Pie was always an Earth Pony. (Though she was briefly going to be a Pegasus during FiM’s dev, since she was gonna be a stand-in for Surprise, this was ultimately decided against)
Hey as long as he doesn’t like Rarity we’d be cool. Plus Pinkie Pie is awesome I don’t care what anyone say’s.
Joes hair makes him look like he is wearing a permanent scumbag steve hat. It’s kind of appropriate.
Amber should totally get that for him in DoA.
Christmas isn’t for like…another 2 years, ya fool.
Pfft. Who says it has to be on Christmas?
FUCK YOU CAPITALISM, I CAN GIVE GIFTS WHENEVER I WANT.
…Wait, that sounds stupid when I put it like that.
Two years is an insanely conservative estimate. I’d ballpark it closer to a dozen.
