You ever sit for an hour or two, flipping through screencaps, trying to map out the road and countryside that passes by Fluttershy's cottage, all to build coherent backgrounds for a comic that will take you weeks to draw only to culminate in a bad pun, and suddenly have it dawn on you that you have a very frivolous hobby?

Midwest Brony Fest KC 2016 was nearly a bust.
I could only go Friday and Ashleigh Ball and Tabitha St Germain didn't make it until Saturday, so my dreams of getting called Darling and Sugarcube were dashed to jagged pieces, or something.

Work is nuts.
I am nuts.
(No seriously, work has been crazy enough My wife talked my doc into putting me on the crazy pills. Zoloft makes my face tingly.)

*looks left*
*looks right*
*mumbles “Rarijack”*
