Me: This is gonna be great.
Feathermay: You think so?
Me: You know the saying, “The dice are trying to kill me”? While you’re looking at the dice, they make this evil hiss and you run off screaming.
Feathermay: Look, I’m fine doing this little tribute to your dad’s comic, but I think you’ve overlooked a couple of things.
Me: Like what, Feathermay?
Feathermay: For one, you really lack a good camera. You didn’t even shoot right with the one you had, if the framing is any clue. For two, you need more than one actor to set up that joke.
Me: Yeah?
Feathermay: Yet I don’t see any other ponies in your collection.
Me: I’m… working on that. There’s just no substitute for 20 years of collecting.
Feathermay: Hey, you can still get your dad a Father’s Day gift. You know a few brony artists now. Why not get him a present?
Me: Yeah… Maybe that would be better. I’ll look into that.
Feathermay: Also, did you just roll all these terrible numbers? No wonder there’s a saying!
Indulge me in a little bit of holiday silliness for this bonus comic. We'll be back to your regularly scheduled screencaps momentarily.
You see, today is Father's Day. And my dad runs a webcomic of his own called Quacked Panes. It's formatted exactly as today's page, except with better photography and a wide, eccentric cast of rubber ducks being clever, sarcastic, and punny.
Unfortunately, it's not a moderately popular webcomic, even though it's been updating twice a week for about three years now. So I humbly request of you: Give his webcomic a visit, read a few pages, surprise him with a sudden influx of site traffic.
Of course, this isn't the only part of my Father's Day plans. (It'd be a rather sad gesture if all I had was this.) I've also sent him a little Father's Day card - courtesy of one of the brony artists who contacted me this past Tuesday - along with some words of appreciation.
Hopefully, between all of this, I'll be able to make up for past Father's Days where all he got was a friendly phone call.
Wgat do you expect from a guy who only occasionally looks at the site who's just realised that A) he's the first person to notice ( or comment, for that matter,) , and B) the cats just just decided to use his character sheet as an exercise in being horribly sick.'
Father's day was a lot of fun for me with my dead. We went to a for-the-heck-of-it hockey tournament and the sun was shining BRILLIANTLY.
But no day in the sun is complete without my dad doing something silly... Like running out on the field, taking someone's hockey stick and SCORING... In the wrong goal. I think both teams were too shocked to respond.
I just have the McDonalds Rarity on display by my computer desk. In contrast, my daughter has about 16 pony toys, along with three vehicles and a bunch of other brushes and accessories.
We could build our own Ponyville.
I have a Pinkie Pie McDonald's toy on my desk, she's my go-to girl when I need to figure something out. She is extraordinarily good at helping me find plot holes via the Rubber Duck method. I have most of the others, but sadly, no Cherilee, Fluttershy, or Rainbow Dash.
If photographing tiny toys weren't so tricky... and my pony collection only including Rainbow Dash and Diamond Rose... I'd love to attempt a photo-toys comic.
Okay so at first I was all like "wait how could your pony comic possibly be a good gift for your father of all people" and then you mentioned he has a webcomic and it all makes perfect sense.
