Mmm, that pixelation! I made these back in the day, scanning in pictures from MLP storybooks and editing them in Microsoft Paint. I’m sure this is exactly what Dylan Thomas intended his poem to convey.

H.O.O.F., aka Help Our Obselete Friends, was the petition to bring back My Little Pony after their cancellation in 1992.

Then the G2 ponies were released and a lot of MLP collectors were like “The fuck are those?”, which led to the H.O.R.N. campaign, Help Our Real Nuzzlers, which peititioned for ponies in the G1 molds to be brought back.

I’m not sure if the H.O.O.F. petition was ever sent to Hasbro . . . I know the H.O.R.N. petition wasn’t, because after G2 was cancelled in the US some collectors blamed the petition organizer, who said as much.

#My Little Pony #G1 #petitions #HOOF #HORN #G2 #Firefly #Moondancer #old web #old internet #realistically Hasbro wouldn't have cared what a handful of MLP collectors thought about G2 anyway #like the outcry of older TF fans against Transformers Beast Wars at the time was OFF THE SCALES #but Hasbro happily kept making Beast Wars because kids loved them #G2 MLP just did not sell well in the US
