I think I recognized one of the demonic-looking silhouettes surrounding them when Dinky was talking about all the ponies playing 'Let's shit on the neighborhood retard': the Bearer of the Element of Loyalty. Remember all the times when she mistook honest confusion for a deliberate attempt to ruin her day? The lazy hot-shot with the big dreams and a bigger mouth is not a person with the patience or insight to see what the less fortunate have to struggle with.
"Derpy" is the number one reason we need a novel. She is so easily cast as the crazy/klutzy/ultra-loser, I'd love to have an official take on who she really is. The way fans try to validate her life... I get sad :(
(fun fact- in episode 23 where the mane six get their cutie marks, "Derpy" appears at the sun raising in adult form (crazy eyes and all,) making her older than the 'six.)
I'm with Seth. SOmeone better post the happiest fucking Ditzy comic in existence right this instant before I drown in the man tears.
I like the idea of Ditzy being a loving mother. Can't wait for her appearance in season , so we actually get to know what her character is like, since she's everyones favorite background meme pony.
Am I the only one who thinks the fandom is taking the "dinky" thing too far? :Scampers on soapbox: So she has a similar color scheme; ya know... wait, ima go right a fic about Octavia being the mother of some random filly since their colors look the same and see if it takes off.
If Derpy was a mum, why the hell was she in the "Best Young Flyers Competition"? Teen pregnancy? Give that stuff a break already. :Stepping off soap box now:
"Dude now I'm reading it. 'Dear Ms. Derpy it has come to my attention that we will be fighting soon. My name is Matthew pony-tel, bla-bla-bla-bla-bla. Fair warning, mono-e-mono, seven evil bla-bla'. This is, this is, this is. This is boring. Delete."
First one made me tear up. So sweet and sad. Doesn't matter if it's canon or fanon or if not everypony agrees with the characterization or mother-daughter relationship. It's a damn good piece of writing, and a excellently drawn comic. Bravo.
As I have commented in a fanfic entry, I don't like the way people refer to her as the (IMO) somewhat derogatory name Derpy. Worst part is, it's so widespread that I found myself using it, and I dislike that name.
The first comic is really sweet and endearing. I don't think that relationship would ever be canon, but it's still well written and works for the characters.
1) The character is NOT officially named Ditzy, she's not officially named anything yet, but it's a lot more likely to become Derpy given greater prevalence of it and history within the fandom. Also I believe Lauren Faust drew some artwork of the character and named her Derpy in it.
2)You think "Derpy" is insulting bit "Ditzy" is not? The word Ditzy actually refers to her character as a whole and implies by definition that she is stupid. "Derpy" is just a cute sounding made up word that refers to her eye condition and says nothing about her character.
Wow. Right after a comic where we have Dinky making a very heartfelt and touching statement about how she is hurt by mean people making fun of her mother...
...you post a comic that essentially makes fun of her mother. Nice job Seth.
And maybe the last one isn't us making fun of her, but Derpy making fun of herself. Maybe she's trying to tell us a joke. She s a postmare, she should know whether or not she has mail, not some new-fangled talking-picture box.
I've loved the first one since Ego first posted it to her dA page... for all of you gathering up pitchforks against the crowd of mean ponies, she pointed out on dA that the pictures are also Dinky's exaggerated filly POV, and even if only a few meanie pants ponies who are jerks to you (or your mum), when you're a little kid, it can seem like everypony's out to get you. 8(
Someone had better post a comic of one of the mean ponies being mean to Ditzy/Derpy, then in the next panel BAM! All the Bronies appear to defend her and shame the mean pony
I actually missed the ditzy doo and dinky doo art and fandfics, thats what originally got me started on being a brony. Next to the newbie artist training ground and the lyra/bon bon comics.
really really well-done though. it was awesome. i dont think i can think about derpy the same way again, though. not that it's a bad thing or anything...

Once again, Ego is the best of us all.
VastaKustutaExcept for Moe.
second
VastaKustutaFirst one was in a Training Grounds a LOOOOOOOOOONg time ago.
VastaKustutaSad? Silly, Seth, that's not how you spell "awesome."
VastaKustutaEgo's comic is still straight-up brilliant.
I feel like if you read the second one right after the first one, it kinda ruins the moment...
VastaKustutaDerpy Pilgrim if somepony hasn't made a trailer for that yet it needs to be done. Also die all you people who post you know #1
VastaKustutaThis is nice =3
VastaKustutaLove the first one.
VastaKustutaHHHHNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
VastaKustutaFirst gets a daww.
VastaKustutaSecond gets a high-five for epic Scott Pilgrim reference.
First get's the biggest dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ever.
VastaKustutaSecond lololol
I AM DEFEATED
VastaKustuta"I love you mommy" broke me. :(
First comic is best comic.
VastaKustutaThat Scott Pilgrim parody was hilarious. Goes to show you don't need super amazing art skills to make a successful comic.
VastaKustutaSaw the Ego one a while ago, still cried though D:
Stop giving me these mixed feelings of happiness and sadness!
Heh. Cuuuuuuuute.
VastaKustutaAnd interwebz.
Derpy for the win!
VastaKustutayou're god damn right Dinky, you do have the best mommy in the world
VastaKustutaI baw'd. Then I squee'd. So cute.
VastaKustutalolgmail
VastaKustutaThat first one was allot sadder then i first thought. ):
VastaKustutaThe 2 comics fit together in a chilling revelation, that the GMail could cause Ditzy to lose her job and in turn, her daughter.
VastaKustutad'awwww I remember seeing the first one in the artist training grounds. Happy to see it again.
VastaKustutaD: so sad!
VastaKustutaAwww!!! Manly tears of awww were shed on this day
VastaKustutaD'aaaaww that first one hit me where it hurt...
VastaKustutamanly tears for that first one. All of my HNNNNNNNNNNGG
VastaKustutaAw, Im sad now! *looks at second comic* HAHAHAHA, oh....I shouldnt be laughing....huh, Im sad again....
VastaKustutaThe first one, made me, really think of what ponies think of derpy. ;-;
VastaKustutaI has a sad now...
VastaKustutaHelp her bake muffins you say? Atleast they're not making cupcakes. Truth be told? I squee'd
VastaKustutaWait Dinky is a unicorn.
VastaKustutaIs she adopted?
Now, my view of Ditzy has changed a lot. (yep, never called her derpy )
VastaKustutaPonies need to treat derpy better.
VastaKustutaThe three faces I made throughout the first comic.
VastaKustuta:)
:3
T_T
Then the second one seemed a bit awkward...
I've seen that first one before, but I enjoyed reading it again.
VastaKustuta@RandomlyWeir
VastaKustutaYeah, Ditzy is something else. (Call her Derpy once in a while honestly, but prefer Ditzy.)
Dammit, it made me cry then, and it made me cry now. It cannot be said enough: Ditzy is the best mommy. Ever. End of discussion.
VastaKustutaConfound these ponies, they drive me to tears...
VastaKustutaWhy has derpy become the subject of such tenderness as of late!? only luna is supposed to make people cry!
VastaKustutaSo amazingly cute.
VastaKustutaDitzy Doo is amazing.
Ditzy Doo is her real name but people call her Derpy Hooves to make fun of her.
VastaKustutaI also have trouble believing that Ditzy could be a single mum. She's the most loveable character on the show.
I think I recognized one of the demonic-looking silhouettes surrounding them when Dinky was talking about all the ponies playing 'Let's shit on the neighborhood retard': the Bearer of the Element of Loyalty. Remember all the times when she mistook honest confusion for a deliberate attempt to ruin her day? The lazy hot-shot with the big dreams and a bigger mouth is not a person with the patience or insight to see what the less fortunate have to struggle with.

#1 man, did I just walk into a kitchen where everyone's chopping onions....
VastaKustuta#2 made me feel a bit better after 1
Cute comic, but the whole "mother" thing is something I don't agree with the fandom. Nor do I believe she's stupid.
VastaKustutaI'm with Seth. SOmeone better post the happiest fucking Ditzy comic in existence right this instant before I drown in the man tears.
VastaKustutaI like the idea of Ditzy being a loving mother. Can't wait for her appearance in season , so we actually get to know what her character is like, since she's everyones favorite background meme pony.
i fucking cried at the first one. and im 15 and listen to death metal.
VastaKustutaI'm gonna tell my mom that I love her, right now.
VastaKustutaI loved that first when when it was submitted for the ATG, and I still love it now!
VastaKustutaAm I the only one who thinks the fandom is taking the "dinky" thing too far? :Scampers on soapbox: So she has a similar color scheme; ya know... wait, ima go right a fic about Octavia being the mother of some random filly since their colors look the same and see if it takes off.
VastaKustutaIf Derpy was a mum, why the hell was she in the "Best Young Flyers Competition"? Teen pregnancy? Give that stuff a break already. :Stepping off soap box now:
That first comic is SPECIFICALLY WHY I only think of Dinky as Derpy's SISTER! NOT HER DAUGHTER! *Activates manly sobs of sadness*
VastaKustuta"Dude now I'm reading it. 'Dear Ms. Derpy it has come to my attention that we will be fighting soon. My name is Matthew pony-tel, bla-bla-bla-bla-bla. Fair warning, mono-e-mono, seven evil bla-bla'. This is, this is, this is. This is boring. Delete."
VastaKustutawow, the first comic really was fantastic. thank you for this.
VastaKustutaUm. Are we..er..are all Bronies damaged goods? In some way?
VastaKustutaFirst one made me tear up. So sweet and sad. Doesn't matter if it's canon or fanon or if not everypony agrees with the characterization or mother-daughter relationship. It's a damn good piece of writing, and a excellently drawn comic. Bravo.
VastaKustutaI'm gonna go call my mother now.
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaDinky really should have been Derpy's adopted sister all along...if only I drew a comic and planted the seed...
Awwww, that first comic... sad. :( If I find anyone making fun of Derpy, their plot is toast. >:(
VastaKustutaThe second comic is funny and cute. And Derpy saying "dude". XD
@Oxcenia
VastaKustutaAnd its made from the perspective of Dinky's innocency... which makes me even sadder...
This comic gives me reasons to hate ponyville
Is that first comic trying to demonize us for calling her derpy? WELL FRACK YOU!
VastaKustutaAs I have commented in a fanfic entry, I don't like the way people refer to her as the (IMO) somewhat derogatory name Derpy. Worst part is, it's so widespread that I found myself using it, and I dislike that name.
VastaKustutaDitzy Doo sounds much cuter too.
The first comic is really sweet and endearing. I don't think that relationship would ever be canon, but it's still well written and works for the characters.
VastaKustuta@Reever

I'm on the verge of tears because of #1
VastaKustutadude this is ... this is ... boooring. Delete.
VastaKustutaD;
VastaKustutathat was actualy pretty sad.
nice to see someone showing derpy hoovs as something that isnt retarded
Ego has the superpower to make anyone cry at will.
VastaKustutaConfound you Ego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaWow. Right after a comic where we have Dinky making a very heartfelt and touching statement about how she is hurt by mean people making fun of her mother...
VastaKustuta...you post a comic that essentially makes fun of her mother. Nice job Seth.
Wow, its been a while since I saw that first one.
VastaKustutaAnd maybe the last one isn't us making fun of her, but Derpy making fun of herself. Maybe she's trying to tell us a joke. She s a postmare, she should know whether or not she has mail, not some new-fangled talking-picture box.
I cried at the first one
VastaKustutaThe contrast between the comments made me laugh.
VastaKustutaHarder than I should of.
First one...so sad
VastaKustutaSecond one...was funny, then I remembered what Dinky said in the first and felt even sadder :(
*Watches the first comic*
VastaKustuta*distributes torches and pikes*
Alright bronies, who's with me to teach some "mean ponies" a lesson in friendship and magic?
@nielsdejong
VastaKustutaGimme that damn torch now.
oh god the first one made me cry.
VastaKustutaFirst one made me cry. And not the whole just a tear drop cry. I like sobbed. D': and the 2nd one made me feel better. :D
VastaKustutaOh THAT old thing. Welcome to about a month ago, guys.
VastaKustutaFirst one was sad. The second one raises a question: how exactly does one type with hooves? :|
VastaKustutaProbably best not to think about it.
I remember reading the first one a while ago... I read it again anyway though, and I still got tears in my eyes. :(
VastaKustutadat mood whiplash
VastaKustutai recognize the first one, but it's still full of daww.
the second one lolol
Now I feel really bad for Derpy....I don't want to pick on her anymore!
VastaKustutaI've loved the first one since Ego first posted it to her dA page... for all of you gathering up pitchforks against the crowd of mean ponies, she pointed out on dA that the pictures are also Dinky's exaggerated filly POV, and even if only a few meanie pants ponies who are jerks to you (or your mum), when you're a little kid, it can seem like everypony's out to get you. 8(
VastaKustutaTake that as you will.
In the first comic, the picture that said "I have mommy, and mommy has me." made me HHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGHHHHH so hard the neighbors heard it.
VastaKustutaThat was the first time ponies have ever made me tear up... and it was nice
VastaKustutaI bawled like a baby
VastaKustutaThe first was very gripping. Simple yet very comeplex. Sad yet happy. Amazing work.
VastaKustuta@Chilliam
VastaKustutaMaybe her (rotten, no-good) daddy was a unicorn.
Someone had better post a comic of one of the mean ponies being mean to Ditzy/Derpy, then in the next panel BAM! All the Bronies appear to defend her and shame the mean pony
VastaKustutaIt must be done!
second one got me to laugh.
VastaKustutaI actually missed the ditzy doo and dinky doo art and fandfics, thats what originally got me started on being a brony. Next to the newbie artist training ground and the lyra/bon bon comics.
VastaKustutaDaww, i thought it was soo cute!
VastaKustutaDerpy being my favorite pony... I can't stop crying...
VastaKustutaThat first comic ;-;
VastaKustutareally really well-done though. it was awesome. i dont think i can think about derpy the same way again, though. not that it's a bad thing or anything...
@anonymous concerned with typing for ponies
VastaKustutaoooohhh what a great question i guess i should really put some time and thought into the anDELETED!!!!!
hahaha i love strongbad
Why are we always so sad and depressing?!!?! Well, bittersweet anyway.
VastaKustutalol, scott pilgrim
VastaKustutaI still don't believe in the dinky thing.
VastaKustutaAs sad as this comic is I still DO NOT treat dinky doo as cannon.
I really hope that here affiliation with derpy doesn't become cannon in season two.
HNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH SO MUCH...
VastaKustuta*fountain of tears*
Oh my goodness.
VastaKustutaI'm going to go cry for a few hours now.
awmg
VastaKustutadurpeeee
:'c
Let me be the 100th person to say that this is The Best.
VastaKustutathese ponies better start treating derpy better, or imma open up a can o' whoop *bleep*
VastaKustutaSo much d'aaaaaw... Anypony else die a little inside after reading about Ditzy's social life?
VastaKustutaI almost cried at the first one! *holds back tears*
VastaKustutaI shed a tear on the first one
VastaKustutaAWWWWWWWW!!!
VastaKustutacannnot....hold...all of these... FEEEEEEEEEELSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutalol, i found a dead guy on this computer... looks like his heart exploded...
VastaKustutaDerpy should be voted "Best Mother In The World"
VastaKustuta@Chilliam Her Dad Was A Unicorn (Duh)
VastaKustutaFirst one made me legit almost cry a little.
VastaKustuta
