Blog Description[]
Q & A with Ponyville's totally canon first responder / field medic.
http://askcharliefoxtrot.tumblr.com/
Blog Type[]
Ask Charlie Foxtrot is an drawn ask blog, in which the character answers questions asked of it by other tumblr members. In addition to Q & A updates the blog also features artwork and exchanges with other tumblr pony blogs. There are no plans for an ongoing storyline at this time. It is intended as a humor blog and is safe for work.
Blog Setting[]
The blog takes place in the present. While stated in the description and some scenes depict areas surrounding Ponyville there has not been any update regarding the character's home or where he lives. Most often the character answers questions on a white background. The lack of a concrete setting is intended to allow the character to interact with other characters in various settings without concern as to how it may affect canons.
Character[]
Charlie Foxtrot's cutie mark.
Charlie Foxtrot is a brown and cream colored mule; the offspring of a pony and donkey union. Other than the large donkey ears the most notable feature of the character is his large dented Brodie helmet. Charlie volunteers as a medic during emergencies or events with the potential of injury in addition to providing
other support during or after other such events. He is nervous, easily startled and appears to have a fairly modest to low opinion of himself. He likes oats. And Dust Cloud.
Cutie Mark[]
Charlie's Cutie Mark is a grey or silver Staff of Caduceus, an object carried by Hermes and other messengers of the Gods in Greek mythology. Hermes is often depicted wearing a Petasos, a hat which bears a slight resemblance to a Brodie helmet.
Art Style[]
All art created by the mod is drawn by hand using pencil and paper before it is then inked by hand using Pigma Sensei inking markers. The artwork is then scanned and edited in a very old and obsolete version of Photoshop. The style is quite off-model from the official style of the show and shows no sign of becoming any more accurate in the near future.
Mod[]
Ask Charlie Foxtrot is written and drawn by Ronald MacKinnon, a hobbyist comic artist. The most notable previous artistic and comedic endeavor by the mod is Plugged Nickel, a webcomic that was originally published in a university newspaper and continued online until early 2008 when it went on hiatus.
Community Events[]
