But on the other hand… sometimes ponies are just not a good idea either.

ALT - 0010: DANCING ALONE TO PONY
[ Panel 1 ]
CADENCE: I thought you were an “adult.” What ADULT plays with ponies?!?
:: Autumn has a two My Little Pony toys in her hands. They conveniently look a lot like Cadence and Autumn. ::
AUTUMN: I DO! So what? You can’t tell me you NEVER played with these when you were little!
[ Panel 2 ]
CADENCE: Actually, I was more of a troll girl myself.
AUTUMN: OH! Those were those hair things, huh?
[ Panel 3 ]
CADENCE: Uh, YA! They were SO MUCH FUN! We should really relive those… not ponies.
AUTUMN: Seriously! Let’s do it!
[ Panel 4 ]
JOSEPH: Hey gu—
:: Joseph walks in the room to find Cadence and Autumn with their hair straight up like a furry christmas tree. ::
DEAR GOD! What is WRONG with you two?
AUTUMN: We should have stuck with ponies.

hmm it would seem he is not a fan of insane mutant demon hair
It’s rather creepy, isn’t it? ^_~
Ha OMG I want the pink one with black hair… SO AWESOME
I’m drawing this out right now actually. :3
for Pony?
for Pony?
FACT: Trolls > Ponies
Heh, agreed.
ALT is an excellent idea. Every comic should have strips where the characters are able to goof off and be themselves. Not much room to do that when the main characters are frequently in dire situations. Caron, you are a smart fellow. You’re improving and it shows.This must feel like that point in an RPG where the game shouts “LEVEL UP!” and you unlock access to a bitchin’ sword.
This is a TOTAL level up!
I’ve been doing a victory dance for days. ^_~
Thank you, I appreciate that! I’m glad to see that you’re into this idea as well. This has definitely been a fun experiment so far.
I’ll readily admit to your brilliance in this strip, Denis! ^.^ I love how the ponies reflect the girls…and the way they managed to get their hair to do the troll-style. Also…it doesn’t surprise me that Cadence is more of a troll-girl while Autumn is more into ponies.
Yeah, I noticed that ponies’ hair style resembling the girls’ as well. I would have expected Autumn Pony to be purple and Cadence Pony to be pink, but maybe that would have been too much pink for her, what with the hair and all. Need a little bit o contrast there.
Yeah, I did the color changes for contrast. :]
Heh, thanks. I thought this strip out a bit. It’s fun being able to come up with a whole set of rules and character traits to reveal in just one strip…rather than spreading that sorta thing out over multiple strips. It’s been a fun and interesting experience so far.
This is one of my favorite strips so far for how dorky it is. I used to have a ton of trolls and ponies when I was little. In my mind, they’re equally awesome.
I’m really glad to hear that you are enjoying this new style/approach to my comics and humor. I know I am. :]
Cadence has a pelvic tat….nice. Autumn and Cadence Ponies too! I almost kinda want them.
I’m drawing them as ponies right now actually. :3Yeah Cadence has a few hidden tats. ^_~
Yeah… The new Trolls cartoon wasn’t nearly as big as a hit as MLP:FM, with good reason too.
There was a new Trolls cartoon?
curiously curious,might this have been influenced by “Two Guy’s and Guy” comic lately hmmmyes, thats right i check up on your competition little boy
Competition? Rickard and I are friends. :] His style hasdefinitelybeen influencing me lately.
my best friend is also my greatest competition he and i blow glass and sculpt clay.
They look like Wayne Static. Man, I’d love to get ahold of whatever they used to get their hair to stay that way.
…ugh… Now Ive got that song “Love Dump” stuck in my head…and I feel old.
I’m just over 30, in internet years that makes me an old hag. All of you kids, get off my damn lawn your trampling my Bromeliads.
Relax. Your not the only one who remembers changing the channel with a knob.
Knob? I was the remote control as a kid!Seriously, I’m just kidding about feeling old and being crotchety.. I’ve earned my experience, and I’ve got no shame about it.
Things like thisconstantlymake me feel old. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.
lol I can see the Wayne Static reference.Thanks, I’m really pushing myself lately to make the line art look nicer instead of just focusing on magic effects and what not like the main story did.
This is almost becoming another comic in and of itself. It’s an interesting little insight into their personal lives, like watching a MMA fighter go home and tend to a vegetable garden.I remember those trolls as well. They were that bit more manly than dolls for me to play with, but not quite up to action figure status. They were awesome at the time (but, I was 6 or so).
ALT is something that I will continue doing for some time… I’m starting to like the ALT universe enough that I plan to eventually put these strips in their own book away from the LAWLS Volumes. Glad to here you like them. :]
I’m pretty shure Joseph wanted to say: “Hey Guys!” – That’s not what I’d call two girls…I mean, when I translate it literally it gets somehow offending. But I guess for you it’s just as good as “Hi, folks!”And why do I even think about such nonsense…?I’m really looking forward to when the story continues!
Idk, i still call girls “guys” or “dude” …just depends on the context and my relationship with the girl. I certainly never say “hey ladies” or “hey girls” though, I’d likely just say “hey” if anything. lol
I wnat a Candace Pony…. I want one wit hthe intensitiy of a thousand burning suns!
This seriously cracked me up SO MUCH! Because of you and a few other people who brought this up to me, I’m working on a sketch of her and Autumn as ponies. :]
