A Torpedo usually ends in an explosion.

that would look sooo cute.
also hope no one else has a mythical creature who self replicates upon saturation.

That was fun, what a unicorn needs to gallop underwater is to use a character of a 1980s’ cartoon.

For Phoebe, I think Matigold’s horn sticking up out of the water might giver her away.

I imagine it would bring a whole new dimension to water polo.
@Happy, Happy…Can you tell us what the horse in a wetsuit was used for?
Mister-Edd over 10 years ago
I found out that it’s actually a “compression suit” used to help horses recover after a strenuous run. It’s made by Hidez in Sydney, Australia.

Fire the set coördinator! Sue’s braces have disappeared!
@ Happy, Happy, Happy:
If you’re riding the pictured horse, and you wish to stop, do you say, “Whoa Nelly!”?

I found that long ago looking for something entirely different.It’s amazing what will turn up in an image search.

One of the funniest things I’ve seen in MLP is ponies wearing flippers. Sometimes even for swimming!

Perhaps she’s seen Spaceballs. “Unbeknownst to them, but beknownst to us…”

Hm, mildly surprised her horn doesn’t function as a snorkel; guess the one she was wearing in an earlier strip wasn’t just a fashion accessory.
