A lawyer ponies primary duty is obviously to convince ponies that there is in fact a legal system, as opposed to arbitrary decisions by the eternal monarchs. If everyone believes in lawyers, they inherently believe in a judicial system.

Actually, a major part of my backstory is that there isn't enough work for a lawyer pony in Equestria. That's why I spend time teleporting around and occasionally popping in on the various magical duels going on.

You're absolutely right. And considering we know that Blueblood and Cadance are around, not to mention Celestia knighting Twilight, it seems clear that Equestria has both a system of nobility and some kind of local election system that allows for mayors.

Oh and that shirt is more fail than hipster. I can't believe that Walmart intentionally would do that, so much as they would just pay so little attention as to pick the wrong image.

Here's a more interesting piece of clothing from Hot Topic.

Perhaps it's just really specifically marketed towards passive aggressive fans of G1 who resent the success of G4 and the Brony movement?
...Really?

I seriously think a brony is behind that shirt for that reason... just made it as a joke or something around the office then it accidentally got picked by the executives or something.

Thanks for the tip!

On the other part about the comic book failing, I don't really see it. The people working on it seem to know something about the show.

I think its an uncanny valley thing for me, something about it doesn't work for ponies in particular.

And oh Hot Topic...when you can be bought there you know you're not a secret anymore. Its a little sad in a way.

I think it comes from those really bizarre German (I think) comics where all the characters have their stock pictures and no other poses as well as the Zebra King being Zecora in Spike's pimp hat.
