Description
[link]Well they may not be philosophy strips but I hope everyone who has been asking me to make more Twilight and Smartypants comics will like these.
Also sorry for not trying to make the art look exactly like Watterson’s like I did last time (This is mostly because when I do I’m tempted to start copying his panel/image composition too). This time around it’s more of a hybrid between his style and mine.
Anyway At this point I’m not really sure whether or not I’m going to keep doing these strips. I know several of you let me know you wanted me to start some kind of series on the last one. I’ve also had some people suggest I make a Twilight and Smarty Tumblr account. (Sounds like fun, alto I don’t know too much about Tumblr
So this time around I’m just going to come up front and ask…
“Do you guys want me to make a series out of this?” .
Any suggestions you can give me are appreciated.

This is phenomenal stuff, oh my god.
Not sure if you want corrections (if you want to update them or anything), but some typos I noticed: (C = comic, P = panel)
C1P1, should be "Celestia's school"
C2P3, should be "waste"
Colour C1P3, little tricky to tell that someone off-panel is talking. Maybe lengthen/widen the arrow from teh bubble.
Colour C1P5, I don't think there's a speech bubble going towards Cadance, and if there is, it might be mixed in with her hair and not visible.
Colour C1, there are a couple instances in the later panels where the speech bubbles could have more distinct arrows. Maybe just keep it in mind, visibility could possibly be improved.
Colour C2P1, "50 miles of the coast the..." should be "50 miles off the coast, the"
Colour C2P2, maybe have the speech arrow curve to the left instead, it kinda looks like the water's talking.
This is just me nitpicking. You PERFECTLY captured the feel of the old C&H comics and I can not applaud you more for that.

No, Thanks a lot! I'm really glad you pointed all that stuff out for me.
I fixed the Typos that mentioned and It work with the speech bubbles too but it's unfortunately a bit of a pain the edit them after I've done the coloring (For the black and white comics there's no problem)
I know this is a bit sudden, but I realized It'd be really helpful to have someone act like an editor to help me proofread these comics before I put them online. (basically what you just did) Any chance you'd be interested?

Please! Please! Please!!!! continue makeing these comic strips. I can not even begin to explain how much I loved reading these. The throw back to my child hood days, sitting in my parents living room, reading Calvin and Hobbes meant so freaking much to me! I loved reading that comic strip so much when I was a kid and your are bringing back that feeling perfectly with Twilight and Smarty Pants. Keep up the good work and I'll cross my fingers! Thanks Man!

Huh? wait...
I thought it was you who created that tumblr account. But now that you say this, I recognize that the submission dates don't fit.
According to deviantsearch, this guy "valcor" who did this amazing stuff on tumblr, also goes under the name of Dreatos: [link]
Maybe you wanna make a joint venture? That would be really awesome!

Ripfrost In reply to dervonnebenaan [2012-10-03 02:05:13 +0000 UTC]
Seriously? The submission dates are how you figured that out?
Sorry, but you should have been able to tell just from looking at the art. (That and my version is about post cutie mark twilight.)
Hey, if someone can get him to say yes I'd love to team-up.
(It'd probably be best if I got my version up the the same level of popularity on tumblr as his tho...)

Yes! Make a series out of these and I can bet you that you'd have 20 followers from the get-go. At least I would definitely sign up.
This was so awesome, btw.

The answer is "Yes, please!"
I see that Twilight can get in as much trouble with her magic as Calvin did with the snowmen.

There's options in the Share feature of videos to have videos start at certain times. Just click the tick box and the site'll handle the rest (but you gotta be fast because it has a tendency to just keep on rolling)
