Page 244 – The End Comes Swiftly

Yep, Bridle Gossip is slowly but surely coming to a close. What’s next after this, you ask? Which arc is coming up next? Well, I’ll keep the specifics a secret for another couple of weeks.

Unlike the last two transitions, I don’t think I’ll be doing a guest comic run. Even though they were both intended as “breaks,” I’ve always done just as much work setting up and managing guest authors as I do just writing the actual comic. Also, two weeks is way too short a deadline for commissioning high-quality work from scratch, and that’s all they’d have if I sent out the call now. So, I figure I’ll simply head into the next arc once this one ends.

Rarity: Ponyville has a day spa?! You have NO IDEA how perfect this is for my character!

DM: …Zecora mixes up the enhanced herbal bath and invites you to take a soak.

Pinkie Pie: THANNONTHALL!!

SFX: (SPLOOSH)

DM: Wait, NOW you respect the tongue-out rule?? Ah, whatever. Pinkie’s tongue, Twilight’s horn, Rarity’s hair, Rainbow’s wings, Applejack’s size, and Fluttershy’s voice all return to normal.

Fluttershy: Yay.

DM: I am going to miss “Flutterguy” though.

Fluttershy: Never again.

DM: Drat.
