Angel it’s a jerk but that face HNNNGHHH

@DJDerpy2013  
I’d watch it!

Angel truly does care for Fluttershy.  
Or that he’s not allowed to buy carrots from Carrot Top without Fluttershy’s approval.

Homeward Bound:Equestria Edition.

Opal’s derping a bit

I’m just happy to see more tank!

@Masem But at least the flak is well-deserved. If it were the CMC FF crew doing the mainline comics I highly doubt there would be any flak of which to speak of.

This almost makes me feel bad for Angel Bunny.

Everyone died. The end. :D

@MezzoDragon  
I’m just saying that the FF series doesn’t require one Mane 6 character in the pairing. They have a lot of flexibility and experimentability with one-shots that tossing in a BG character is completely possible.
 
For canon-breaking, I meant more as fanon-breaking, that’s what would create the problem from the fans.
 
I would guess that we would see a mane 6 / bg story in FF before we’d see a full bg-only character story, if only to make sure it goes over reasonably well.

@Masem  
Granny Smith is a supporting character, and the Flim Flam brothers are villains.
 
Also, what do you mean ‘canon-breaking’? There is very little about them that is canon. I like background jokes, but giving them some depth may be interesting.
 
Simply put: No risk, no reward.

@MezzoDragon  
Probably an intentional filler for something big planned for issue 25

@MezzoDragon
 
They said at the creation of the FF series that it could easily feature background (as opposed to just side) characters in addition to mane pairings. Also, as evidence: we just got a FF about Granny and the Flim/Flam bros. Not a single Mane 6 to be seen.
 
Also consider: if they made a story based on characters without any specific show-set personality, lets say, Lyra and Bon-bon, and they slighted anything that fandom has said about the pairing, they would get crap from us about it (eg: see Katie Cook and the flak she’s getting from the current arc). Background jokes on these are good that last for a panel or two, but I can’t imagine the fandom’s reaction to 28 pages of canon-breaking material.

@archestereo  
Even if he is, he still has a soul-piercing stare.

…is Gummy actually showing emotion?

@Masem  
Big Mac isn’t a background pony. Also, the Friends Forever focus on the Mane 6 and various villains. Thinking about it makes me hope Gilda will make a return.
 
But anyway, I still stand by my (rather silly) complaint: most of the more notable background ponies are being ignored. If the comics must focus on the mane 6 (and I’ve no problem with that), why can’t they include some of the background ponies more directly?

@Masem  
Friends Forever series does not focus on background characters.
 
Side characters =/= background characters

@MezzoDragon  
Background ponies are “background ponies” for a reason: they’re meant to be background filler, not actual characters.

@MezzoDragon  
They already did: that was the Big Mac arc. And also arguably the point of the Friends Forever series.

They’re willing to make a comic, albeit a one-shot, of the pets, yet refuse to give the background ponies any time in the spotlight?

This looks bad… what happened?
