Comic Books

  • In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW) Issue #25, one of Canter Creek's citizens is named "Blazing Saddle" and bears a resemblance to Cleavon Little, and a signpost on the first page of the comic points to "Rock Ridge". Blazing Saddle's cutie mark is the Gucci logo, referencing Sheriff Bart riding in with Gucci saddlebags. In the short, Tumbleweed mentions he got his cutie mark from visiting "Sheriff Bart." In the following issue, the plan to move the rustlers' camp piece by piece is highly reminiscent of the plan to move Rock Ridge.
