US Backcard Story
Early one morning, a double Rainbow glistened in the sky to announce the arrival of the newborn twin ponies, Dibbles and Nibbles!
Dibbles and Nibbles were too young to swim in the pond. "But the water is so pretty," sighed Dibbles. Just then, a beautiful swan glided by. "Climb on my back, and I'll take you for a ride," offered the swan in a gentle voice. The newborn twins climbed on their graceful friend's back for a pleasant ride around the pond.
Newborn twins like to laugh and play in their very special way ... and they're twice the fun for everyone!
Media Appearances
Dibbles and Nibbles are characters in the UK comic books. Their origin is rather odd. Baby Tiddly Winks drew a tiny pegasus and a tiny unicorn on a sheet of paper. Baby Lucky then found the paper and traced the pictures, making a total of two pegasi and two unicorns. Gusty drew a bassinet and stroller for them. When Baby Lucky wished the two sets of twins were real, and they promptly climbed into their accessories and popped off the page.
In true pony style, everyone took this in stride and simply moved them into the Lullabye Nursery. Baby Lucky named the pegasi Dibbles and Nibbles and the unicorns Sniffles and Snookums. He further explained that he had called the lilac unicorn Sniffles because Sniffles is "a boy's name." (Newborn Sniffles is a boy in the UK.)
The comic also gave Dibbles and Nibbles (and the other two) a specific birthday: June 13th.
Gusty cared for the twins as their nurse and nicknamed them "the Funny Four". While the "regular" baby ponies like Baby Glory and Baby Blossom acted and talked like elementary age children, the newborns twins were like toddlers. The older babies sometimes babysat them.
