What a Fire Pony Does in Ponyland (Comic madness!)

[Taffeta]

So I'm sitting up watching the election results, and thought I might as well use the time to give you guys some more fun pictures to laugh at

This time the theme is Chief. It occurred to me that for all the times Chief, his fire engine and his fire hose appears in the comic, there is never an instance I can remember where he puts out a fire.

Some of the things Chief does do on a daily shift...

Taking down angry shark guards!!

...All very normal jobs for your average fire pony. I'm sure everyone in the fire service does these things on a regular basis...

Haha! That is funny, but also strange that they never had a fire. I would think that would be the perfect, dramatic event for a story. Maybe they thought it would be to real and scary for kids. Although that sounds more like an attitude of children’s comic in the early 2000’s than the 80’s!

Shame that mean-ness to sharks was such a thing in the 1980s... Aside from that, cute xxx

In fairness, these were wayward sharks who had abducted the Sand Shaper!

Hopefully good sharks helped him xxx

Omg those sharks have made my day They're so silly looking!

I've seen the "firemen that don't put out fires" thing before, I think it's because firemen are apparently popular with little kids, but fires are usually a bit too serious for these kind of series? It amuses me.

[Goanna]

Hahaha, aww what a useful guy, whatever would they do without Chief?!

It makes you wonder how they came up with the concept for Fireman Sam really, doesn't it...

I just think the things that happen in the comic are so detached from common sense that as an adult reading them they are hilarious.

Perhaps Majesty should punish Chief for squandering Ponyland's valuable resources on petty daily tasks.
Then again, the poor guy must have a lot of spare time on his hooves if there are never any fires to actually deal with. He has to keep himself busy somehow!

Thanks for sharing.

Sort of reminds me of Pleasantville, where two teenage siblings get sucked into a 1950s-era TV show that is so squeaky clean and innocent that when a fire breaks out, the firemen drive their truck there and just stare at it, not knowing what to do. Then the boy from the real world yanks a hose from the truck and starts spraying water at the fire and one of the firemen says, "Oh, so that's what those things on our trucks are for!"
