i can absolutely guarantee that whoever drew this is an MLP fan. The dragon's body layout is just too distinctive.

...wait, that's a dragon? It looks like a neopet. Or a cat. Or a mouse. A confused mousecat. Actually there's a pokemon whose head looks like that....

@Krackers You're right, Season 1 has ended and it's currently on haitus until season 2 begins.

@marconii2002 They're still doing it, it's just a haitus for a while since season 1 ended.

(Original snarky comment:)
...I will get around to reading this just as soon as I can get over balking at the fact that that dragon's design is basically a cat with wings. And mouse-ears I guess.

@toomanywords: Neopet! Yes, it does look uncannily like one. I was having trouble putting my finger on what was upsetting me here (a dragon that looks mostly like a cat should theoretically be right up my alley; I am quite fond of both after all), it's partly just how much the cover art evokes certain childish western cartoonish stuff of my youth. (From a period where that, almost certainly, was sure to be accompanied by embarassingly bad writing and the like).

Anyway, it seems likely I'll like it once I get around to it. Cat-dragons are, again, theoretically a win-win. And stuff like this tends to be enjoyable even when it's awful. ~w~

Edit: Now that I've read it: A lot of this is incredibly childish (not necessarily in a derogatory sense per se, but as in, something that feels like it's written for a rather young audience—if you told me the goal was to sell a line of plastic dragons to impressionable young kids I would find it easy to believe). But I am enjoying it; one must live and let go of a few eyebrow-raisingly blatantly contrived developments, overtired tired cliches like "the girl has the pink dragon", a bit of hammy dialogue, and so on and so forth—but all that has it's own sort of nostalgic charm, and there's arguably still enough substance in-between all that to keep things going, and things in that regard seem to be getting better as things go on, not worse.

Still, I have to say—as with the cover art, this entire thing feels eerily like it's emerged via time-machine from 2005. (A kid's mom even tells him to stay back from the television so he doesn't hurt his eyes!)
