Little Critic

Hello everyone! Sorry I had to post the page a day late, but you know. Stuff get in the way sometimes. I’m glad I didnt rush the page because that gave me some extra time to add some small details on the coloring here and there. I bet many of you My Little Pony, FiM fans will recognice this joke from that show. Wen we were planing small cute comics I knew wanted to make one with Phi, so we could get to see more of her personality so thats when this scene came to my mind and just had to do it, hehe. I hope you like it and hopefully see ya in the next update, which should be another Knighthood page this weekend!

Oh god, it’s FlutterPhi! XD

Looks like she pulled a Fluttershy to Rarity there XD.

-.- Everybody’s a critic. Also i understood all of that even though I only have a high school diploma. LOL. Love the comic so far, keep up the excellent work! Also, i don’t understand how the stars system works D= i wanted to give you 5 stars but it keeps going into the negatives.

  What do you mean you “understood” it? Most of it is meaningless technobabble. It’s just a bunch of science and engineering terms, with a generous helping of generic scifi terms, all strung together.
  
  Granted, I don’t MIND. I hardly expect them to come up with how their weird technology actually works. But none of that really means anything. There’s nothing to understand.
  - JollyGreenDragon
    
    A super-double-reverse anti-anomaly actually sounds like it would be a GOOD thing. “If the coolant blows, it will be shockingly normal and exactly on track with what we want it to do.”
    - Jason
      
      Actually,I think there was something about feng shui in there,which is more spiritual. It’s the placement of furniture in certain places that promotes good luck in certain aspects of your life.
  - Lord Proteus
    
    Volpethrope speaks true, pretty much none of what was said actually meant anything, it’s like CIS, they just spout random techno-babble and sciency words to sound like they know what they are talking about.
    
    as for the Fluttershy thing, can you pony fans maybe tone down the pony invasions? MLP already has a bad rep from it’s fan base being out of control invaders, try not to turn the Las Lindas comments sections into pony rampages again, it just isn’t fair is not what the comments section is for.

Gotta love Phi, and her attitude is so Fluttershy (Yeah im a brony and proud). Well i think Phi just saved both farm and Grossamer from being destroyed in the explosion that was sure to come.
LanceOmikron

Pony reference? I love pony references! ^_^
Lumaria

Sadly with moments like this when it is obvious that the AI surpasses that of the living beings you get a slight disconnect in my opinion. The characters who have a unique or special trait are all one upped by the omnisuper machine and that really deludes the the character niche.

David Foxfire

She’s not a Fluttershy until she goes postal on someone.

Either Phi just made an enemy of Tootsie for life, or she just made the best friend she’ll ever have.

Or both!

      Dressed for Success. When Fluttershy comments on Rarity’s dress that she made for the Grand Galloping Gala. And yes I read it in Fluttershy’s voice too.

        It isn’t from the ones from when you were a kid, it’s from the new ones that are a well deserved hit. (When an episode about making dresses and holding a fashion show isn’t cringeworthy for adult men, you can see how good it is.)

Dangit you people in the comments section! I WAS enjoying it, and then you had to bring up ponies. >_<

  How does bringing up a pony reference that is CLEARLY there ruin the page? It’s not our fault Chalo like MLP and puts in references.
  - http://www.facebook.com/christopher.wisdom.9 Christopher Wisdom
    
    A MLP reference is only CLEARLY in there if you’ve ACTUALLY watched ANY MLP at all, so… no. I didn’t know it was a MLP reference until I read all the comments. Not everyone is a fan of the show. That’s like saying everyone likes brussell sprouts. I don’t like brussell sprouts, therefore your claim is rendered null and void. Let us just enjoy the strip as it is, and read it in whatever voice we want to, or none in particular.
    Oh, and happy Thanksgiving!

I would think the reverse couplings are SUPPOSED to be on backwards.

Wait, is this the core that Toos just dropped when Miles showed up? That would explain it being upside down. The reverse couplings should be symmetrical and the rest are only really minor problems. But the wrong feng shui looks like a serious design problem…

  - http://twitter.com/CrimsonAuthor K. Joel
    
    No, it’s not “stealing” dialogue. It is imitating the general idea of the scene, but I’ve watched the referenced episode… and Fluttershy talks about fashion and needlepoint, not warp science and electronics. Know your sources before you speak.

I’m not a brony, I’m not set into any franchise enough to be the equalent of such die-hard fans, but i have seen (I think) all of s1 and 2 of fim, but I’m not sur eif i remember anything like this? or is it from the new s3 I was told has been released recently?

Also, I totally want a nz-nanoperson (I don’t call them spirits, it’s an unfitting term since they are niether highly enlightened beings nor celestial in mass, just made up of space-time traversing nanites with a huge programming for tech), my entire family sucks with tech and would need someone who literaly has it in her blood. shame I’m not too social, she would probably turn haywaire or emo eventually, slowly but steadily. and I don’t even dare think of what the male subconcious might do about living with a rapidly growing female with no garantueed human rights or qualms about certain behaviour >.<

Lord Proteus

Hey Chalo, can we have less MLP references in the future please? And references in general? I like your comic and the characters but I think it’s weak to leech off the popularity of others instead of making your own content. It’s just… really cheap, and cheapens the comic as a whole.

A reference is not a valid substitute for a joke or story.

Oh, and less nonsensical techno-babble. With that level of technology they’d be colonizing other solar systems by now, not making juice drinks.
