Worth noting that June 13th is when the 100th episode will air. I wonder if they're trying to stall the airtime :v:

Well, today, Disney Channel had a morning long pony marathon (hey, that rhymes! :v: ) followed by Sword in The Stone. It was awesome. :allears:

And they're doing it again with different episodes tomorrow! :yay:

I've never been to a Con, nor do I ever expect to, but articles like this one are always really nice to read anyway. Every person who comes out of an experience like that understanding the fandom (and maybe even people in general) a little better than they did going in counts as a victory in my books.

Also, I don't know where this image actually originates from or if it's the real cover, but it's a cool design anyway:

It's faked. (I've seen others pop up on Google Images that have the same text on them from using a online Playboy template.)
Here's an example I lazily cobbled together using a stock image that's on the "Create Your Own Magazine Cover" site.

The original art is from Kolshica.

Yeah, I can't imagine parents would be too pleased with a MLP character on a Playboy cover... :v:

That was a really cool interview though, glad to see that Kefka got that kind of exposure.

Makes sense, thanks for the info.

What's the cutie mark on that faked cover? Is that a yellow chick, or gold with a pickaxe, or what?

Also, that was a seriously great article, especially in a place that I could imagine a lot of bro-hard type people might see it.

That's Golden Gates, BABScon's designated OC. I imagine it's a gold nugget with a pickaxe, yes, representing SF's origins as a gold-rush boomtown.

Playboy's interviews have always been well-respected, despite their tendency to be wrapped within pictures of naked ladies.

Fun fact: Ray Bradbury released several of his short stories in Playboy before putting them in books. Aside from the nudity and such, Playboy was meant to be respectable. :pinkieshrug:

Roald Dahl also released some stories in Playboy, but they were definitely not respectable. Wife-swapping is involved. :amazed:

Happy Anniversary to love horse and... guy horse? Do these two even have cute "______ horse" fan names?

Hard to believe it's been three years though. Canterlot Wedding roughly lines up with when I joined the fandom.

Welp, that's a side to Roald Dahl I hope to never hear about in greater detail.

Me too. I started watching the show the week after ACW aired, binging through both seasons in a single week.

Even if the episodes had been split across two weeks, I'm not sure what would've happened.

Also, Shel Silverstein drew cartoons for Playboy, and even lived in the Playboy Mansion at one point.

For a brief time, Powerpuff Girls had a writer and storyboard artist named Bobby London. He's famous for creating a comic strip "Dirty Duck", which was published in Playboy for years.

Also, I'm thinking of submitting cartoons to Playboy :modesty:

ROFL, the Turkish internet censor wouldn't even let me look at this page. I had to break out the proxy server. :smirk:

And it was a surprisingly good article! Well done, Kefka, for striking a good balance between realism and optimism re: the MLP fandom. More people could stand to take that sort of measured perspective.

Well nuts. Especially after "Journal of the Two Sisters" I was hoping for her to get a bigger role, especially in shaping the show's lore. Wish her the best, but the show just lost one of it's strongest writers.
