That's not a hook.

I'm going to be a gentleman and avoid the obvious retort.

Comment from: Wednesday posted at September 19, 2005 3:44 PM

Yeah, well... I'm going to be a pony.

A PRETTY PRETTY PONY.

Scupper me wi' a handspike, else.

Man, I love Pyrates.

Oh, and if you happen to have a Comixpedia column? This is probably a good month to use it to pimp your own strip. You know. Theoretically.

Well played, sir. Good show. ;)

Um, yaar?

PRETTY PRETTY PONIES have no need for sitting in the fridge and saying "yaar" when Ms. Sigourney Weaver opens it!

PRETTY PRETTY PONIES spend their hours frolicking, inasmuch as "frolicking" consists of "cleaning the house and 'hacking popcorn'".

They do not have new "seasons"! What is this "season"? The television shows come on in January, or sometimes March! Sometimes, one waits several decades between new batches of episodes of Beck Bronte Goes To War. We like it this way!

PRETTY PRETTY PONY WEDNESDAY SUGARPUFF collapses in a sobbing heap.

I am amused that Sluggy managed to position the resumption of the Oceans Unlimited stuff to begin on Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Comment from: Thomas Blight posted at September 19, 2005 8:47 PM

I prefer talking like a certain undead pirate.

That said, yarr. I be off ta buckle me swash.

PRETTY PRETTY PONIES reminds me of DeeDee. This is making my head hurt.

Comment from: Grumblin posted at September 19, 2005 9:49 PM

Slick pimping.. ;)

*applause*

It drives me nuts!

Comment from: 32_footsteps posted at September 19, 2005 10:18 PM

I liked said certain undead pirate before they decided he needed to wear a leotard. Because seriously, who the hell is going to fear a pirate in a leotard?

I'm personally fond of Anne Bonny. Now she was a pirate worth talking about.

Comment from: Lilamrta posted at September 19, 2005 10:54 PM

Good column. Very columnlike. Unfortunately, I've been back at school for almost a month now. No more voracious archive reading for me.

(Voracious archives. I wonder what they eat.)

I prefer talking like a certain undead pirate.

Oh come on, everybody knows the best undead pirate ever is LeChuck.

Comment from: Merus posted at September 19, 2005 11:06 PM

Um... did Wednesday go insane?

Cause it's a hilarious mental picture, now that I think about it.

Today is also Respect for the Aged Day in Japan, just so's you know.

Comment from: 32_footsteps posted at September 20, 2005 1:33 AM

I respect aged pirates greatly. Yar.

Comment from: J.(Channing)Wells posted at September 20, 2005 8:27 AM

Wednesday didn't go insane, Merus!

PRETTY PRETTY PONIES CAN'T GO INSANE!!!

Keep smiling, Pretty Pretty Pony Wednesday Sugarpuff! Keep smiling... AND FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE!!!

Comment from: Doc posted at September 20, 2005 10:10 AM

If Wednesday has indeed metamorphised into a pony (of the pretty pretty variety) I just hope it's this kind.

Comment from: Johnny Assay posted at September 20, 2005 11:50 AM

I find it amusing that Pete Abrams resumed the "Oceans Unmoving" storyline on Talk Like A Pirate Day. One has to wonder if that was intentional.

Comment from: Wednesday posted at September 20, 2005 2:48 PM

Pretty Pretty Pony Wednesday Sugarpuff loves you! She is not insane.

It was a very, very bad day for Pretty Pretty Pony Wednesday Sugarpuff, though! She woke up with the *awfullest* headache and all her bottles of magic honey juice were empty! Then she went to the store to get more magic honey juice, but found out they wouldn't let PRETTY PRETTY PONIES buy the magic juices because of some LAW. They didn't understand! All of her bottles were empty!

Pretty Pretty Pony Wednesday Sugarpuff is very sad right now. They put nasty bracelets on her and tied her to this pole! Help her! HELP PRETTY PONY WEDNESDAY SUGARPUFF GET HER MAGIC JUICE! She's crying! THAT'S BAD!

Comment from: Kate Sith posted at September 20, 2005 5:01 PM

You people knew this was coming, right? From somewhere, anyway.

(The anatomy's probably off, but screw it. I drew this in class. I'll fix it later. POOOOONYYYYYYY.)

Comment from: Wednesday posted at September 20, 2005 5:31 PM

Hear that from across the ocean? THAT'S THE SQUEE.

Comment from: Kate Sith posted at September 20, 2005 7:45 PM

Yai! Danke. ^^

Comment from: siwangmu posted at September 20, 2005 8:52 PM

That... it... you... that...

It actually LOOKS like Wednesday! Cartoon-Wednesday, anyway. Which is the super and most essentially pure form of Wednesday! For us readers anyway. (Note upon rereading: I am not saying Weds looks like a horse)

You are so very awesome.

A pony and a dinosaur... we are all such little kids!

Comment from: 32_footsteps posted at September 20, 2005 9:07 PM

Kate, I'd like to know you're giving me horrible flashbacks to my childhood, when my parents decided I had to suffer through the My Little Pony and Care Bears movies because my sister wanted to watch them.

Comment from: siwangmu posted at September 21, 2005 4:28 PM

Now I'm not only seeing the Weds-pony, I'm imagining Snarky/Eric as one of the stranger Care Bear Cousins.

Comment from: gwalla posted at September 21, 2005 4:59 PM

The Care Bears movie was scary.

SnarkHeart Bear!
