The Xykon quote or the MLP reference?

I'm quite sure everypony saw it. Just no one mentioned 'em.

...It's the six marks, isn't it.

*checks*

Yep. I have no idea what Pinkie Pie's is, though.

This is Pinkie Pie.

*Shudders*

I mean the cutie mark. I only gather it was Pinkie Pie's by process of elimination. It looks like confetti with boxing gloves on the end.

...Now I know how Pinkie Pie fights.

Where did all the mooks go? Are they just laying unconcious outside the ranch?

They were so ashamed of losing that they all crawled their way to a secret Mountain Monastery to become masters of battle.

While there, they had many adventures and learnt the true meaning of peace and love. :3

I do believe they are balloons, thus explaining where Nomen's magical sack of balloon animals come from! :O

Oh wow! How did I miss that? In order (Pony/Cutie Mark):

Applejack/Apples; Twilight/Magic sparkle thingy; Rainbow Dash/Rainbow lightning;
Pinkie Pie/Ballons; Rarity/Gemstones; Fluttershy/Butterflies

Hope this answers any questions.

*Finally looks at new page and comes to this thread*

Why are we talking about my little pony? I honestly thought I had clicked on the wrong thread

This forum...it's infected with them!

Check the page before.

Casper looks a lot less cheerful when you get up close...

New comic

So, we've got a callback to Draft's speech at the start of the comic. Looking back, it seems Draft also had one of those emotional pipes, but in a different style from the one in the last panel.

[flabort]

I, too, like Wendy, wonder the reason behind the disappearance of the stutter. This is more than a well practiced speech.

[blackjack217]

Nice page. Still wondering what happened to the mooks tho'

Dammit. I couldn't look at this post without making a connection to Bibliography.

[Fayd]

Was not expecting Astra to be the prefix for lightning. I guess it makes sense on some level (lighting is plasma and so are stars), but it certainly wasn't what I was expecting. Of course, I'm not sure what I WAS expecting, so... yeah.

It must be the pipe. Have we seen him talking and smoking it before?

[Doorhandle]

I wouldn’t put it the comic to make that pipe have unusual properties. The tikipipe just OOOZES authority, as if it makes the wielder an unusual cross between Dumbledore and Brian Blessed.

Also, kinda late for the party here, but I love the design of Evil Mask Guy.

[flabort]

It's not the pipe that eliminates his stutter. It has a unique smell, yeah, but he still stutters while smoking it.

[Radar]

Keep in mind, he didn't stutter while creating miracles either. I guess his current lack of speach impediment indicates, he is serious.

[Mewtarthio]

A stutter often only applies to a "normal" voice. Lots of stutters can, for example, sing without a stutter. I'm guessing the miracles are cast using an unusual poetic manner of speaking that doesn't trigger Nomen's stutter, and his current speech is something highly rehearsed. It's probable that Nomen's mimicking the mannerisms of whoever gave him that speech as well (the last panel seems to be fading into a flashback).

If you've watched the king's speech, he could avoid stuttering if he put things into song. Not to mention cussing in between words sometimes.

[flabort]

Interesting. That might explain it.

He didn't stutter when he cursed? How often did he curse ?

King's Speech:

Spoiler

Show

It was a trick his therapist had him try by making him shout cusswords nonstop to see if he stuttered any of them. When he didn't, he had him cuss every few words to see if he stuttered. When he didn't, He would mouth cuss words while giving the speech at the end to keep from stuttering.

If you want to see more, I highly recommend it. Its a very good film.

[Silverraptor]

Wow. How has no one made any note of the new update?

And apparently the pipe talks in a tiny flame and apparently Wendy didn't notice or care that it did.

[Crafty Cultist]

A vague bit of backstory that has many possible interpretation.

Fan Speculation, Go!!!

Well, the p-smokes have faces, why shouldn't they be able to talk?

[Zeful]

I see Ben.

[Radar]

I see Ben.

Good catch! By the way, there is an even newer page around.

[flabort]

Hmm... the comment "Backgrounds!"...
Do I see a wanted poster for Casper?

[Doorhandle]

Seems like it.

Also, I don't think your boss will save you, Mc Mookinstine.

[Egneil]

Seems like it.

He probably won't, but I can see this as the start of him becoming a credible threat. I mean he was beaten by a worthy opponent, he has crazy villain hair, and he's been abandoned by his employer. This to me seems like the start of him becoming more powerful and crazy.

He could still be comic relief though... Anyway, just my thoughts.

[TheDarkblade]

new page so now... we have a clue about what one of the things Casper can do with his cards.
