You really have to commend Minty on that. She always keeps a supply of face masks, because you never know when you'll need one.

For those who aren't familiar with My Little Pony outside of this comic, the Smooze is from the 1980's feature film. It's a thick, purple goo that's apparently sentient, which spreads uncontrollably, dissolving the landscape and destroying buildings in its wake. However, when it gets on a pony, it does not dissolve her on the spot, which would be the decidedly cooler outcome for the viewer. Rather, it alters her mood and makes her cranky, not unlike the pink slime from Ghostbusters II. For the purposes of this comic, Smooze is some type of hazardous waste, which can be spilled in Exxon Valdez fashion. Hey, even ponies have accidents.

Hey, Facebook users! Kimono's Townhouse now has a fan page! I am still learning how to use Facebook (it's not exactly intuitive), but I will be posting some neat things there in the coming weeks.

At first I thought Kimono was worried about Swine Flu.

Fanned you on Facebook!

I figure it's pretty much like cleaning up an oil spill. Only, you know... purple.

I got to see it again last year. I was struck by the similarities to Lord of the Rings! I got the impression the writers were bored Tolkien fans, trying to make ponies more interesting. XD

And remember, folks.. that's pronounced "Valdeez." Like the city in Alaska. :D

I'll be keeping Smooze away from my Ponies, tyvm! I don't need a cranky pony, I've seen what one of them can do...
(One day when I was little, we went to a circus and a pony took offence to a girl who was trying to pat it, so it bit her leg (luckily the girl was wearing jeans) and then tried to kick her! Well, I'd be grumpy too if I had to be a performing circus pony...)

argh! Instant earworm.

Drat it. Now it's stuck in my head. Time to share the agony...
*singing* "Get inside. Better run; better hide. Nothing can stop the Smooze!"

*dances a little*

Man, I barely remember the MLP TV series. They didn't air it at a regular time so it was always super-exciting when I would catch it. =)
