...actually, most of the artwork in this comic is from around May/June.Well, it's not like hehave a talent - its just that he doesn't have a cutie mark to tell him what it is. Growing up in pony-society, that's kinda a bit of an identity-issue. But yeah, eventually he'll pick something that's interesting to him.Then again, neither donkeys nor mules get cutiemarks. Hmm. This makes me wonder why I haven't seen any fanfics yet that involve the crusaders and a member of a non-pony equine species.Say, if a donkey-colt were to enter Cheerilee's class, what would happen?> teasing by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: "blank flank forever"> Crusaders standing up for the new colt> colt is depressed because he can't get a cutie mark> Crusaders decide to cheer him up, and take him on some of their crusades. And hey, maybe the donkey-colt will even find his talent amongst those activities.> Since no indication of a cutie mark is given, this means that instead of just looking at his flank, after each crusade, the colt would contemplate if he was any good at what the crusaders were trying to do / if he enjoys doing it>> the lesson for the crusaders here might be to stop and *think* about what they just did on their last crusade, instead of instantly dismissing it due to lack of instant-cutiemark.
