Comments: Rather, uh, unfortunate and stereotypical portrayals for the human (or doll??) characters. Speaking of portrayals, Mandarin Orange was originally a girl.
I have a feeling the last part of the story was rewritten, as everything after “OMG look it’s the Orange Empress Queen!!” seems really random, even for a G1 comic.
And so began the rule of tyrannical King Bread, who demanded that ponies constantly jump out of cakes for his amusement.
(Yep, it’s that coloring book again.)

Comments: A note about Firefly’s silver lightning charm … It first appeared in comic #34 in the story A Very Special Pudding. Just a fun bit of continuity.
Piggy Minty
I live in the US. One day I was at Value Village scouting the toy section when I spotted a baggie with the telltale vinyl and synthetic hair of a pony. Even as I plucked it off the rack, I knew from the colors that it was G1 Minty.
Then, a moment of confusion as I caught a glimpse of her blinking eyes and odd proportions.
Then a rush of ADRENALINE as I realized I held in my hand a piggy pony.
The piggy ponies are genuine G1s that had a very limited release in Spain. They are so named because, well, they look kind of like pigs. Mostly they are variations of the Original Six ponies (Cotton Candy, Blossom, Minty, Butterscotch, Snuzzle, Blue Belle), plus a few additional ponies.
Their love could never be.
Shark: “I ship them.”

Comments: Here we see Firefly contemplating the air velocity of an unladened swallow.
This rare Italian coloring book that Moonbreeze scanned in is AWESOME. It has time travel. It has cave-ponies. It has a spaceship or something at the end. It has Skydancer as Indiana Jones pony. And it has this picture.
IT IS THE BEST. I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON AND I DON’T EVEN CARE.
