I've always been a Fluttershy kind of guy. Something about her quiet and cheerful demeanor that masks a fierce rage beneath, often provoked by threats to ones friends and family, reminds me of someone.

It's my wife, BTW.

How's everyone doing with the isolation? I'm surprised, actually, at how hard I'm finding it. On the other hand, my job involved walking around all day and talking to people. This is a bit of a shift. Thank goodness for my incessant hoarding throughout my life that has prepared me with more stuff to do than I can possibly get done in one pandemic. At least I'll be ready for the next one.

Too soon?

Today's comic is a wonderful adaptation of a wonderful cartoon. Though I've not watched the entire series, the first couple of seasons were entertaining and moving, and both preached and practiced an ethos of friendship. The comic follows suit, and makes wonderful use of the medium of comics to expand our view into Ponyville and its environs.

Am I tempted to keep reading this series? Yes. Yes I am.

More to follow.
