049 - The Flank Anomaly (5)

August has been a slow month for ATHEWM.
I'm just going to upload the page here and pretend nothing happened.
Yep, I'll do that.
No delays, nope.

At least I've been drawing some pony related thing. Here I have 30 pony drawings this August thanks to the EqD Training Grounds.

With Season 3 closer and closer every day, it's becoming clear that this story won't be finished before it starts. So when that happens we'll have our weekly comic strips with random jokes back, and sometimes a new page of the story will pop up in between.

When that happens, I'll do some trick to have them separated in archives so the story can be read without the random jokes inserted between pages. But it's soon for that.

At last, you take so long XD.

First let me say that the facial expressions in this comic continue to be amazing!

However, you really should get someone to proofread your dialogue before filling in the speech balloons. There are so many simple mistakes that they are difficult to ignore.

A.J. not only lost her cutie mark, but within that cutie mark was filled her feelings for her family and Sweet Apple Acres... Very nice of you to remember that.

...NOOOO, APPLEJACK, DON'T GOOOO!!! ;_;

It's how applejack hit her first cutie mark people! It's probably just AJ trying to reearn their cutie mark

I actually expected Derpy to act smart.

Oh well. Evil Fluttershy. WIN!

Okay, so AJ's PERSONALITY is being affected by the loss of her Apple cutie mark is now beelining to Manehatten to try and get an orange one this time?

Mother of Celestia. I thought that we would get to know who the culprit behind all of this chaos is, but noooooo, they absolutely have to pull the unveiling out.
2012-09-05 06:37:36
Time for Pinky to earn her Butchery Cutie Mark.
2012-09-05 07:37:32

Those are not bubbles on Derpy's flank - they are bubblewrap and they indicate the fact that Derpy works in delivery and she is packaging stuff with bubblewrap - This is straight from her creator!

I like the Flank Anomaly. I have been writing a simular story but takes place just after the Crusaders get thier marks.

@Fadri: These are the edits I would suggest.

Panel 1: Rarity: Everypony really is losing their talents. This is terrible!

Panel 3: Rainbow Dash: I don't care if I have a cutie mark or not!

Panel 4: Rarity: Taking care of animals means everything to her. The poor girl must be curled up in a ball, crying!

Panel 8: Sweetie Belle: Everypony tells us to patiently wait for our cutie marks. But now that their cutie marks are missing, the grownups are desperate to have them back.

Scootaloo: Even the ponies that rarely use their talents are acting crazy!

Panel 10: Rarity: I must dowse for some gems. Then my cutie mark is sure to return.

Panel 11: Applejack: Howdy Rarity!

Rarity: You look... elated. How are you taking this whole cutie mark business, dear?

Panel 12: Applejack: Ah reckon ah'm managin' well.

I really like the comics, I do. But I have a problem.

It seems like the story isn't going anywhere. Sure, they've learned all their cutie marks AND talents are disappearing, but all in all, nothing is happening.

I can't wait till the next update. I just discovered this site thru Equestria Daily. How often do you update?
2012-09-13 05:54:45
Shudderbrush
Hunh. Applejack never actually displayed any talent to earn her cutie-mark. Instead, she got it when she decided she wanted to stay and work at Sweet Apple Acres. So, if that is the part of her that has been removed ... oh dear. I suppose that IS what would happen.
