On my webcomic site, Bazzelwaki, someone mentioned something called "friendship is magic" that they needed to watch to get over seeing me snap the main character's arm in half.
I laughed, asked if that was even a thing, and goggled it. I thought to myself "you had to look, didn't you?". Then someone else responded, and asked what the **** the person had done to them, that they were 8 episodes in and knew all the ponies names. 0_o
I told this to my friends, they burst out laughing for a few minutes, and finally said we had to watch it.
We watched 9 episodes straight.
Now, I'll say straight out Adventure Time is the best cartoon on the air right now, hands down. Friendship is Magic is the second.
Fluttershy FTW.
This is the page of my comic, the comment in question is the second one down.

Edit: Saw the mention of tablets. Bamboo is definitely the way to go for "cheap" tablets. It's Wacom, and Wacom is... Wacom. I use a small Intuos4 myself which is their upper end stuff (just the small model), but bamboo is more affordable, and kinda a night and day experience if you've never tried computer art with a digitizer tablet and pressure sensitivity.
