What can I say? This talking dog grew on me. She's adorable, she's amusing, and she's surprisingly developed for a character in a series geared towards teaching younger viewers how to expand their vocabulary. It probably doesn't hurt that Martha's also voiced by Tabitha St. Germain using a performance just a few inches shy of her Rarity voice, thus making the more melodramatic moments all the more hilarious.

It seems Comic Sans comes in handy for replicating the appearance of alphabet soup letters.
