...my brain broke. That's all I can say about this.
(Also, subject matter aside, that was very well-drawn; I can only hope to have even a fourth of that kind of talent some day, so wonderful job on the visuals)
What is it with ponies and their obsession with cannibalism? First Cupcakes, now this. I swear there's going to be a fic one day (if there isn't already) where The Great And Powerful Trixie eats Gilda to gain her powers of flight.
Applebloom: ...Zecora, did that weird mask on the wall just talk?!
Zecora: If I were you, I would not want to find out Exactly what Billie is talking about His games have been known to kill many ponies He's a monster to us, but a laugh to the bronies If you've never done anything wrong, go ahead And listen to him- but if not, you're already dead.
PixelKitties art is just divine, She puts much love and effort into every line. There are jokes scattered through every scene, Of hidden references she is the queen! No kinder pony artist have I found, She certainly is one of the best around.
Cannibal Holocaust was an "interesting" movie. Takes a special type of movie for the director to be arrested under the presumption he made a genuine snuff film. Thankfully that was just presumption.
Sethisto, I read that thread the first Anon posted and I have to say, bravo. That was hilarious, and I've no doubt that your antics spread the word enough that some of those neighsayers joined the herd somewhere down the line.
This disgusts and disturbs me to no end I dont see much humor in this, my good friends I understand the rules of dark comedy but this comic is sick and wrong you see I know its purpose is to gain laughs but in this it reeks of work very half assed I know it took time to draw this bizzare and effort put in not sub par it is beautifully drawn but seems too creepy it just isnt that comic for me
For those who don't know the story behind the inside joke...Zecora was originally going to be speaking Swahili nursery rhymes in 'Bridle Gossip' when the Mane 6 spied on her in her hut. But they couldn't get a proper translation of Swahili in time, so instead, they went the 'Bugs Bunny Japanese' route and MADE IT ALL UP.
Instead of speaking Swahili, they started yapping exotic jibberish that was supposed to sound like it. Thus 'Canadian Swahili' was born.
Not the classiest of moves, particularly in an episode with undertones of tolerance and overcoming racism, but it's a testament to the effect of timelines and pressure in the animation industry.
This is so screwed up. I come here for news about MLP, well-drawn fanart, and any good fanfics. (Past Sins, Dangerous Business) what I don't want is grimdark and shipping, but it seems like that's what mostly pops up on this site, and frankly, I'm kind of sick of it. If you're gonna twist and pervert something, why, of all things, would it be my little pony? Get a life, seriously.
Oh wow. lol That was slightly grim, but still funny. I also love all the fun little things they threw around in the background. Ooh, delicious Gummy Classy Cola. <3
I don't know how I should feel about this. It is a funny concept, but it's too dark for me to laugh at. I also feel sorry for Zecora since she's been characterized as a cannibal.
I don't think this thing counts as grimdark at all. It is pretty absurd but it seems like the comic is played for laughs. Its not violent or gory or even mean spirited. The background material is nuts and the art is great.
You guys are acting butthurt over nothing like this is Cupcakes Part Two.
Ive been wondering the same thing since I've seen a few of these - I really do suspect one of the official animators has something to do with this :D *yay*
How can anyone not like this? The animation is great, the dialogue is believable, and the easter eggs are hilarious. Sure the subject is a little dark, but c'mon, lighten the fuck up!
Dude... Get that pole out of your ass, and just enjoy the dark humour :/
As for the artist, well done mate! :) I love how it turned out :) The dark humour was amazing XD
And for the people saying how she can't make this comic because it's not right to make fun of Zebra's/Black people: people have been making fun of others for the heck of it. Should we stop 90% of all the jokes going around because we can't make fun of white people for instance as well? Or is not that a bad thing since "black people can't be racist"? :B. Stop being so obsessed with being "Political correct" please! It's getting creepy! :/
Hello, Erin. I'm afraid I'm the source of your trauma and offense. The bad taste, though, is Zecora's fault since this was a new recipe and she was forced to work with somewhat bitter ingredients...
In all seriousness, my goal was not to be controversial or offensive. Ask anyone, and they will tell you that I try very hard to be a good, considerate person and my first instinct is to offer you a heartfelt apology.
But on the other hand, I think you're taking this a little bit too seriously. Cartoons have been captured and boiled in prohibitively large cast-iron pots since the earliest days of animation. Further, it was our beloved Pinkie Pie who first floated the idea of Equestria's most awesome Zebra being Equestria's most awesome cannibal as well.
I went out of my way to make the comic light-hearted and non-violent, despite the subject matter. It's parody, and I certainly don't TRULY believe that this is canon-appropriate story. It's a silly idea taken to a silly extreme.
Take a deep breath, relax, and remember that this is simply a joke and neither Zecora nor Applebloom are REALLY cannibals.
Also remember that Diamond Tiara really was an insufferable little monster.
To list all of the references on the very first panel: Gummy Cola, the saw mask, Loki's mask from The Mask, Sinestro picture on the hanging bookshelf, The Konami Code in the book on the dinner table (complete with the awesome face :D ), and finally a flava flav's rhyming dictionary on the bookshelf
This reminds me of that old Simpson's Halloween episode... Principal Skinner, "I guess you could say, there's a little Uter in all of us!"
Cannibal jokes are funny! :D
What did one cannibal say to the other cannibal? Could you give me a hand? *rimshot... audience groans*
What did one cannibal say to the other cannibal at a funeral? Are you going to eat that? *rimshot... audience groans... one guy in the back has a laughing fit and dies from a heart attack*

Best cutie mark story ever.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure Cereal Velocity would get a kick outta that. lol
What with his love of Rarity and all that
OMG that comic was so wrong and yet so funny. XD *Applauds*
ReplyDeleteI like Zecora's collection of masks :P
ReplyDelete"GUYS! GUYS! I got my cann-apple cutie mark! Wanna see how it works?"
ReplyDelete"Yeah! Yeah!"
Three hours later...
"Applebloom, this is some 'a tha best soup I've had in mah life. Wha' did ya'll make it with?"
"Oh... ah had a little help from mah friends."
lololololo
ReplyDeletekind of reminded me of Scott Tenorman Must Die episode of South Park too
Haha, last frame: Trader Pony Joe's.
ReplyDeleteFlava Flav's Rhyming Dictionary (third edition)
ReplyDeleteGummy's Classy Cola
...
So. Much. Stuff. To. Find.
>Flava Flav's Rhyming Dictionary: Third Edition
ReplyDeleteI don't understand. Zecora's rhymes are functional, they work well. Why would she have that as a reference guide?
Otherwise, great comic! Made me chuckkle.
Wait until Applebloom asks Zecora what to do with Granny Smith's body when she passes away...
ReplyDeleteApplebloom: Are y'all suggestin'... *leans in* eatin' mah grandmaw?!
Oh lawd, that was too funny! 'cuse my dark sense of humor. The final panel was priceless!
ReplyDeleteAhahahahahahaha WHAT
ReplyDelete''How to Love and Tolerate'' that book should be real
ReplyDeletePoor Apple Bloom, she always becomes the psycho when they want to corrupt the CMC!
ReplyDeleteAt least it wasn't Pinkie (she is so overused because of Cupcakes...)
ReplyDeleteIf nopony will say it, I will... Cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with ponies and their obsession with cannibalism? First Cupcakes, now this. I swear there's going to be a fic one day (if there isn't already) where The Great And Powerful Trixie eats Gilda to gain her powers of flight.
ReplyDeleteThis is priceless
ReplyDeleteAh wait, my bad it's ''Loving and Tolerating your racist friends''
ReplyDelete"Tolerating and Loving Your Racist Friends"
ReplyDeleteThat got me ROFL.
CUPCAKES!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and tasty!
CUPCAKES!!
Dont be too hasty!
CUPCAKES!!
CUPCAKES!!
CUPCAKES!!
Heres hopeing that this Apple Bloom gets some assistance from PinkiePie.
I liked the "Loving and Tolerating Your Racist Friends" book under the table and the Konami code.
@Pony Corp - Rencurses...ninja'd again >_>
ReplyDeleteApplebloom, I want to play a game. The rules are simple...
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteApplebloom: ...Zecora, did that weird mask on the wall just talk?!
Zecora: If I were you, I would not want to find out
Exactly what Billie is talking about
His games have been known to kill many ponies
He's a monster to us, but a laugh to the bronies
If you've never done anything wrong, go ahead
And listen to him- but if not, you're already dead.
Could be worse; she could be learning rhyme from Shaquille O'Neal. Let's green egg n ham it!
ReplyDeleteContra Code + Awesome Face !
ReplyDeleteUm. . . wow.
ReplyDeleteAnd I could actually see Applebloom reacting that way to her cutie mark.
Anyone else notice the shrunken head from Beetlejuice in the top panel, among other easter eggs?
ReplyDeleteSo that's not a tribute to her going MARK MARK MARK in the Moonbase Alpha parody?
ReplyDeleteaaaaaaaaaaaah the jokes theyre so dumb it hurts
ReplyDeleteWell Pinkie did teach Applebloom how to bake up cupcakes so I guess this was kind of inevitable...
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, no more Diamond Tiara. :)
You all don't how much it hurts being Diamond Tiara's only fan, right?
ReplyDeletePinkie Pie has Cupcakes, so get ready for SOUP.
ReplyDeleteBeware you pony folk!
Swahili for Canadians.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn, I'm dying over here. That was prolly the best thing inside the comic itself.
OOH! OOH! I FOUND JIGSAW!
ReplyDeletewas it diamond tiara or sliver spoon...if it was scootaloo it would be racist. XDDDDDD
ReplyDeleteThat was perfect.
ReplyDelete@Dave That's not Jigsaw- that's his puppet, Billie.
ReplyDeletePixelKitties art is just divine,
ReplyDeleteShe puts much love and effort into every line.
There are jokes scattered through every scene,
Of hidden references she is the queen!
No kinder pony artist have I found,
She certainly is one of the best around.
CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CANNIBALS! YAY!
ReplyDeleteCannibal Holocaust was an "interesting" movie. Takes a special type of movie for the director to be arrested under the presumption he made a genuine snuff film. Thankfully that was just presumption.
ReplyDeleteFUCKING HELL
ReplyDeleteYeah, okay, dark humour alright. Ow, ow, ow,
I'm certain someone noticed the Love and Tolerance and Cannibal book at the bottom of the first and fourth panels.
ReplyDelete*books
ReplyDelete@Anon1: No real proof, it could be someone using Seth's name.
ReplyDeleteWe all know Seth's favorite pony is Trixie.
i loled so hard =))
ReplyDelete@Namefag Anon
ReplyDeleteLol same here!
@Mr.Brony
ReplyDeleteIt's 'How to Love and Tolerate your Racist Friends'
Oh god, the mask from The Mask is on the wall.
ReplyDeleteDon't let Pinkie Pie wear it. The world might break.
Big ups for the bottle from 'The Gods Must Be Crazy' being a decoration.
When I saw the title and Apple Bloom, my first guess was that Zecora wouldn't be making it out of there alive and uneaten.
ReplyDeleteSethisto, I read that thread the first Anon posted and I have to say, bravo. That was hilarious, and I've no doubt that your antics spread the word enough that some of those neighsayers joined the herd somewhere down the line.

ReplyDeleteThe amount of background jokes in this comic is phenomenal. I love it!
ReplyDeleteOH GOD WHYYYYYYYYY
ReplyDeleteI love the background easter eggs
ReplyDeleteHillarious!
ReplyDeletethe comic was pretty funny and gross, but the artwork itself looked like it was drawn by one of the animators!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteIt's not gonna be fun to explain that cutie mark.
ReplyDeleteAs for the cutie marks for Scootalo and Sweetie Belle, there's still Silver Spoon.
@Mr.Brony
ReplyDeleteIt's "Loving and Tolerating your Racist Friends"
This disgusts and disturbs me to no end
ReplyDeleteI dont see much humor in this, my good friends
I understand the rules of dark comedy
but this comic is sick and wrong you see
I know its purpose is to gain laughs
but in this it reeks of work very half assed
I know it took time to draw this bizzare
and effort put in not sub par
it is beautifully drawn but seems too creepy
it just isnt that comic for me
That comic is so not right...it's disturbing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's even more diturbing is the fact that I enjoyed it.
My ONLY complaint is that Zecura didn't rhyme her last line! WTB?!
ReplyDeleteI lost my shit at "Swahili for Canadians."
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know the story behind the inside joke...Zecora was originally going to be speaking Swahili nursery rhymes in 'Bridle Gossip' when the Mane 6 spied on her in her hut. But they couldn't get a proper translation of Swahili in time, so instead, they went the 'Bugs Bunny Japanese' route and MADE IT ALL UP.

Not the classiest of moves, particularly in an episode with undertones of tolerance and overcoming racism, but it's a testament to the effect of timelines and pressure in the animation industry.
I… don't know how I should feel… I wanted to be upset… but I laughed… really hard
ReplyDeleteThis is so screwed up. I come here for news about MLP, well-drawn fanart, and any good fanfics.

ReplyDeleteDiamond Tiara deserves it...
ReplyDeleteNow they just need to hit Silver Spoon.
so Dimond Tiaras out of the way,
ReplyDeletebut think of what silver spoon would say,
so next time take a look,
or Pinkie Pie will be your next cook.
Wait, "Swahili for canadians"? Zecora's canadian?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAlso known as 'Loki's Mask'.
And then Pinkie stopped by...
why.jpg
ReplyDeleteJust now noticed...apparently Zecora is a fan of Destro, she has an autographed picture of him!
ReplyDeleteLMAO! I'm sure her sister will be proud of that cutiemark. I love the little details in the background.
ReplyDeleteXD awesome
ReplyDelete@NDupree93
ReplyDeleteDo you like your chili? I call it 'Tiara Chili'.
Hahaha! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. lol That was slightly grim, but still funny. I also love all the fun little things they threw around in the background. Ooh, delicious Gummy Classy Cola. <3
ReplyDeleteThis... disturbes me.
ReplyDeleteEven for dark humor, this is pretty dark.
I don't know how I should feel about this. It is a funny concept, but it's too dark for me to laugh at. I also feel sorry for Zecora since she's been characterized as a cannibal.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAnon at 11:01
That was both out of left field and creepy at the same time.
... so applebloom and zecora are french?
ReplyDeleteI for one, would love to try some of that soup. Its cool, makes me a carnivore, not a cannibal.
ReplyDeleteI love you, Zecora. :D
ReplyDeleteI support the hell out've this! :D
ReplyDeleteI saw a jigsaw on the wall, oh wait, whose blood is across the hall?
ReplyDelete...This is so horrible, but hilarious. I have to say that cutie mark suits her.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this thing counts as grimdark at all. It is pretty absurd but it seems like the comic is played for laughs. Its not violent or gory or even mean spirited. The background material is nuts and the art is great.

I SO WANT A COPY OF "Loving and Tolerating your Racist Friends"
ReplyDeleteThe books like 'Flava Flav's Rhyming Dictionary' were halolrious! The whole thing was great!
ReplyDelete"Cutie Mark Special Creation Time" on the Pineapplejack box.
ReplyDeleteSo, Applebloom's special talent is probably not actually cannibalism.
Oh my...
ReplyDelete:3c
up up down down left right left right b a start
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone not like this? The animation is great, the dialogue is believable, and the easter eggs are hilarious. Sure the subject is a little dark, but c'mon, lighten the fuck up!
ReplyDeleteThe sheer joke density in this comic is incredible - so much background detail!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think this was too dark. It was no more gruesome than the "Uter-braten" Halloween episode of the Simpsons back in the day.
Also, Cann-apple Bloom is sooo adorable.
Who could resist her huge, pathetic stare?
"Gee mister...can't Ah eat jus' ONE o' yer legs?"
"...*shifts uncomfortably*........fine."
I KNEW IT.
ReplyDeleteOnly cannibals shop at Trader Joe's.
This comic is in extremely poor taste and the author should be ashamed of him/herself. Can anypony point me towards the Source?
