((Mod note: Weeeeee’re baaaaaack! Sorry for the long delay, real life kinda… happened. Main artist suddenly had work, which got REALLY BUSY! More on this in a bit!))

Well, that’s the Captain’s Computer all up-to-date! Hopefully I won’t get so many messages asking how to do the most basic of things… CC, you’re going to save me so much hassle!

((Mod notes: So! After a bit of a rather long delay, we’re back! As mentioned, the artist suddenly had a very busy job right around when our regular updates stopped coming. Real life has that annoying habit of just, well, happening sometimes :p

Still, life is considerably less busy, for now! Business in that regard will pick up again later, but for the next few months we have a bit more free time! That being the case, we will shortly be opening  for commissioned updates. Basically, we’ll be letting you guys pay to have Paper Clip come sort your problems - by which we mean, for a nominal fee, you can have us do a simple, one or two panel update, where we have Paper Clip come and attend to your computer woes. No job too great or too small! (No refunds if you get the harsh side of her tongue though, that’s part of who she is!)

Details to follow shortly - we’ll post them up separately so you can know exactly what you’re letting yourself in for ;)

~Sketchy ))

Well, it took a long long time, but hopefully now you’ve all got a little bit of closure ;)

Is this the last you’re going to see of Brit, you might ask? Probably not - but if you want to keep up with Paper Clip (and by extension, catch a glimpse of Brit and her cohorts now and again), you’ll want to follow the main Ask Paper Clip blog where this is reblogged from!

That’s it for now from us here on Ask Brit - we may post again occasionally here and there when Brit pops up elsewhere, of course. Thanks again for sticking with us, folks :)

Sounds like the Captain has had quite the adventure! …I didn’t need to know about our colleagues in the Night Guard’s appetite for seafood though… blugh!

MOD: Hey everyone, we’re back! Thanks for your patience while we’ve been working through this. We wanted to make sure we did this justice as best we could - we know there are plenty of you who were wondering how that whole thing panned out.

Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind y’all, we have a Patreon! You can support our works there by becoming a patron, and in return you’ll get sneak peeks and behind the scenes info made available exclusively first on Patreon and nowhere else, for this comic and the other projects I’m involved in! It’s a pretty sweet deal, and it helps us pay the bills ;)

And now you all know what happened… it was quite the adventure. We might tell this story in more detail, some day…

ask-paper-clip:

It’s time to set you loose on those that need you, CC…

MOD NOTE: Hey everyone! Hope you’re all enjoying these longer comic style posts and the development we’re giving PC! I’d like to draw your attention to something I’ve set up recently, for those of you wanting to show your appreciation.
As you may know, Paper Clip is basically a two-person labour of love. It’s just me and my fiancée for the most part, with me doing the story and her doing the art. Neither of us gets paid for doing it - nor do I get paid for writing the scripts I do for the other comics I write.

I’d like to change that, but unless I get hired some time soon by a big name, that’s not gonna change much. That’s where you guys come in. We’ve set up a Patreon where you can show your support. We’ve got some perks available as well, so you won’t be giving your money to us for nothing.

It can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/Robot_Pony_Comics

You don’t have to sign up of course: PC will always be free to view and enjoy. But the support would be greatly appreciated!

Well well, looks like the good IT Chief is going to make life a little less frustrating…

ask-paper-clip:

Hmm, it’s time to call on one of my more… interesting customers…

HOLY COW, AN UPDATE!?!?

Well… yes, and no. Some of you maybe already knew that for a while some of us have been working on our own side projects and such, and we did say some time ago that, maybe, one day we’d come back to Brit.

And, here we are. This is not exactly a return, but it’s worth knowing that half of the original art/script team for Ask brit are working on this - and, for this particular script, the original three of us that used to put all of our time and energy into Britty got back together to write the script for this forthcoming little exchange.

We hope you enjoy what’s to come as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together for you!

(And while you’re about it, go follow Paper Clip - and pester her with your questions! Just… don’t say you weren’t forewarned about possible snark.)

(Oh and this probably won’t be the last you’ll see of our Britty. She’ll no doubt show up again, sooner or later!)

Hey guys. Been a while, hasn’t it?

I’m not going to beat about the bush here, because I’m sure most of you already know what this post is about, and what I’m going to say, so I’m just going to go ahead and say it.

We’re on hiatus, long-term.

There are multiple reasons for this, though chief among them would be that, collectively, the team as a whole doesn’t have the time, energy, or motivation to keep going any more.

I won’t prattle on about the various issues we’ve faced. The folks that have followed us closely over the years know what we’ve faced, and know how difficult it’s been.

Are we giving up? Well, no… not entirely. But, well, we’re not going to be putting up any new content here any time soon. In time, we might try something new. But for now, we’re letting things settle. Perhaps the occasional little bit here and there, if something comes up, but for the time being, we’re letting things rest.

So with that said, I’d like to offer our most heartfelt thanks to you, the readers. Without your constant support, admiration, compliments, critiques, encouragement, and so on, we wouldn’t have ever come as far as we did, or created as compelling a story as we had here. We love all of you for sticking by us all this time and keeping us going as long as you all did.

If there’s one last thing to add, it’s that we’re all still around and active, one way or another, in our own ways. You’ve not seen the last of us yet… and we may toss up a few interesting bits and pieces here in months to come, if they’re related to our favourite red-headed unicorn.

That’s it, more or less though. Thank you all for reading, and keep an eye out.

With all of our thanks,

(~Sketchy, on behalf of)

((Mods: Umm… I guess that means the polls are closed.

Don’t worry, folks, we’re sure that Brit didn’t just use police brutality in an effort to obstruct the diplomatic process.

You know changelings, after all. ask-paradigm was probably going in and out of the voting booth disguised as different ponies. It’s one pony, one vote, dammit!))

((Mods: Sorry we’re a little late to the party, chaps and chapesses. We’ve been a little busy at the polling booths/ out earning a wage to be able to make sure we do our civic duty as regards to posting pony pictures on tumblr.

Still, here we are, and with 3 Hours Until Polling Stations Close on the 2015 UK General Election we urge all our British readership who haven’t already done so to go out and cast their vote!

Now Britannia here is impartial on the matter (Being an Equestrian citizen and therefore not eligible to vote, herself) but she encourages those that can to go out and do their democratic duty! (or else the changelings win)

Of course participating in such a thing is not always up everyone’s street and deciding whose box you’d be willing to tick can be rather a daunting (or simply off-putting) prospect for many. If you find yourself in such a position at this late stage then here is a wonderful appeal from Mr. brainedbysaucepans​ about how no matter who you vote for, the important thing is to make your voice heard!

Three commissions I've  been working on for the past few days. :D They’re all done now so hopefully I can now dedicate most of my time to Klausen \^0^/ Commissions will probably open again in a few weeks, keep an eye out for my dA Journals for updates.

((MODS: Oh dear, we hope this doesn’t mean our blog revival is actually an… ex-parrot.))

COMMISSION for hazelhooves

of his Character Clarion Call with DISCORD (hehEHEHEHEHEHE…)
Hope you like it! :D

((MODS: And what a very opportune commission it is. Thank you eleanorappreciates for this wonderful representation of the Discordant Duo))

((MODS: It’s been a while. So we thought we’d do a recap.

The archives can be found HERE and it’d be a very good idea to go back through it if you’d like to know where we’re going with this as it’s going all the way!

And for the benefit of everyone for St. Valentines/Hearts and Hooves/Singles Awareness Day we present to you a bevy of beauteous blinking mares from the Ask Britannia cast (Stallions sold separately)

From top to bottom: Britannia, The Clarion Call, Freeze Pop, Svelte, Slightly Eccentric

We hope they help you express your affections to those you love today.

Clarion: What can I say? Until our service providers sort their system out, it may take a bit longer to start uploading stuff again. We thank you for your patience.

((Mods: It doesn’t look dead from where we’re sitting.

Neglected maybe, but that’s a direct result of the wonderful people behind this blog developing a nasty condition known as “real life commitments”. It causes them to run out of time for doing things like this.

Additional symptoms may include a lack of patience for self-entitled anonymous internet users, and bouts of extreme snarkiness.))

askmovieslate:

Seriously though, don’t call me horse famous. It’s really annoying.

I think this movie was really funny actually, despite me getting a bit lost in it. I can kind of relate with the main protagonist, sometimes getting too much attention can suck the fun out of what you do, but in the end it’s the fans that make everything worth it.

I love the fact that this movie doesn’t take sides when it comes to the actors or their fans, but presents both of them rather positively and together they end up saving the universe. The acting is great (that Tim Allen guy, what an amazing actor, capable of going from funny to dramatic in the bat of an eye), the writing is ingenious, the characters are memorable, and it’s so campy and enjoyable that I get totally sold on the sad dramatic moments.

Overall, this movie is great. You all should take your time and see it.

And now, if you excuse me, I need to find this Gingerbread pony who called me horse famous. I mean, how dare you?

Featuring Svelte and Britannia, Firestarter Spitfire, and Robot Octavia Mark V.

Britannia: “So… what’s the difference between being ‘Horse Famous’ and just being famous?”

Svelte: “I’m not sure, Tannia, dahlink… Maybe it’s vhen you’re so famous your fans shout zhemselves hoarse screamink out your name?”

Britannia: “Ah…. so not us then? Good. I can’t be doing with that kind of horsing around.”

Svelte: “Oh, I don’t know. I razher enjoy a leetle hoarse-play vhen zhe mood suits.”

((Mods: Thank you for the feature askmovieslate! Takes us right back to the tumblrpon panel at BUCK 2014!))

Few. Here it is, the first proper example of my commission types. I will complete a couple more, one more pony and a dragon, then i will be open and my prices updated!

 This is the official mascot for B.U.C.K. I needed a test subject and this character was thrown at me by one of my friends.
