Background Pony #72A4

>dat collector's-item Mauser pistol that's been painted bright blue



…so, ponies have Duracoat, is that what you're saying? And they are just about as restrained in its use as human gunsmiths?



Also, the hammer isn't cocked, so she's bluffing. She ain't shooting anybody without one in the chamber.



Also, ironic that she's using a Mauser C96, which was a favorite of a young Winston Churchill, who accidentally shot his own horse in the back of the head at the Battle of Omdurman. The Bolsheviks favored the C96 too—and after Lenin and Stalin took power, a whole lot of revolutionaries who were no longer in favor got shot in the back of the head with them too—but not accidentally.



Does she comprehend the multiple layers of historical irony here? Does the artist?
