Bronies. Just what is a “Brony”, you ask? A “Brony” is a term coined for a guy (or a “bro” in this instance) that watches, enjoys and participates in the fan following for the animated My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic TV show.
Yes, my friends, this is a real thing… and they are out there.

Look under the “Internet Following” section of the post. They even have a convention dedicated to it!!!

Ah, the horrors that the internet hath wrought upon us.
A brief shout out to all of our friends and fans that stopped out at Top Comics this past Saturday for Free Comic Book Day- we appreciate you coming by and supporting us! Jeff sketched like a madman all day, and I ate doughnuts like they were going out of style. Next stop: Cherry Capital Con, May 25-27! We’ll be on hand with prints, buttons, PINT GLASSES (yes, you read that right… PTC Pint Glasses) and copies of our first collected edition: Punching the Clock- Volume 1: Training Daze. Stop on out, pick up some swag, and share your retail horror stories with us!
Freakin’ Bronies…
-Rob
Big adventure, tons of fun, A beautiful heart, faithful and strong!
Hilarious AND educational! Keep up the great work, my fellow bromic book artists!
And with that, your comic has been added to my Google Reader. My six-year old daughter loves the Ponies. On the other hand, she also loves Young Justice, so there’s still hope.
Welcome to the club Jim.
Welcome to our little circle of insanity, Jim!
Well, at least you did some research.
oh god, i remember april fools day when welovefine put those up, it was hilarious. Yes bronies are real, and i am one, i even go to bronycon. I would usually say dont judge until you’ve watched the show, but really, who here is going watch a show for little girls based off one random comment on the internet. All i can say is i enjoy it and regret nothing.
Graham, some of our best friends are Bronies. We’re happy for anyone who finds something within nerd culture and loves it with a passion. We just like to poke fun.
i totally understand rob, if i wasnt a brony i would be doing the same thing.
Tomboys have adopted the term, too.
Sure as hell beats “pegasister”.
Blech.
