Description Making comics is fun but it takes a lot of time. Here we have everbody's favourite cowgirl with the world's best fashionista.

Such an unlikely friendship, really ...but I guess that's the magic behind it all.

I hope you like it.

It is kind of strange that ponies have so many items that seem to have fingers (or, in this case, toes) in mind. Then again, there are other creatures like diamond dogs, gryphons, and baby dragons that would benefit from such items. Even if pony boots do have a ridiculously small toe space (unlike in this comic), it could be a stylistic choice to mimic the appearance of boots designed for creatures with actual toes, and the same could go for other pony apparel and items.

Probably the most hilarious case of this I've seen is Pinkie with surgical gloves on all four hooves from Rainbow Dash Presents: Cupcakes (which somehow manages to turn Cupcakes into a lightdark non-graphic comedy, otherwise I don't touch Cupcakes related things with a 10-foot pole).

I read once that it was so non-unicorns could get them off without using their teeth. They just step on the "toe" and pull their hoof out.

Mattatatta In reply to ??? [2012-05-16 18:58:07 +0000 UTC]

I've always wondered why they have toe space, too. But in their defense, the toe space is actually hilariously small (compared to the more proportionate boots shown in this comic) and no creature with toes could make use of them. Maybe it's a stylistic choice or it has some hidden practicality that ponies benefit from?

You should make a comic with no dialogue. Only a bunch of silent ponies with adorable closed mouths, like Applejack in panel 3.

Now that you mention it, AJ #3 does look kind of cute.
Though, comics without dialogue is nothing I've thought of before. I could be fun to try.

When I was a boy, a foot murdered my parents in an alley.

From that day forward, I vowed revenge on feet everywhere.

Because the artists of the show don't work that hard taking these things into account Its supposed to be a kids show first, so they humanize as much as possible to speak to their target audience. The 6 year old kid doesn't think that much about the shape of the boots.

I'm guessing it's incase a non-pony race wants said fashion, like say, a Griffon?

Griffons must secretly control the fashion industry! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
