That background picture - I don’t recognize the characters but should it be tagged as something ?  
Pictures similar to it sho up in the background of some of the other comics made by Umneem.  
Something like ‘CMC Artwork’ maybe ?

The author of these comics is not a native English speaker, and frankly I think you guys are reading these the wrong way. This is one of the the only two ongoing pony comics I know where the point is to convey some sort of body of knowledge, and the other is that film critic series. We don’t have Twilight Sparkle’s Quantum Physics For Querulous Fillies.
 
Anyway, the English in this is better than previous ones. Tweaking the translation, and taking a little liberty with the explanation:
 
  1. R: “I saw Trixie in town today. I know it’s not proper for a lady, but she still sets my teeth on edge.”  
    D: “I see. I heard about your complicated first meeting.”
     
  2. R: “That’s putting it mildly.”  
    D: “Look, she claimed she could take on an Ursa and she couldn’t, while Twilight could.”
     
  3. D: “But the Ursa was lured into town by other ponies, leading to the rest of Trixie’s comeuppance.”  
    R: “I suppose if the Ursa hadn’t come, Trixie would probably have just forgotten about competing with Twilight.”
     
  4. D: “There’s a lot of randomness in moral outcomes. Don’t hold one bad day against somepony forever.”

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

This is probably the clearest Dispersion comic yet. I don’t get the confusion.
 
Unless it’s due to the difference between in-show reaction to Trixie and fanbase reaction to Trixie?

So, is the author of these comics like an alien or something who is trying to understand how humans interact, but ultimately failing to grasp simple concepts?
