Subverted! Starlight just keeps Sunburst levitated or ties the life jacket under the debris, letting both of them keep out of the water until the pony version of the Carpathia arrives!  
@Meanlucario  
They still get to do that, plus I think we all want to see how good Sunburst’s drawing skill are.

“After a lot of passionate sex.”

“You know he DIES in the movie!”

Ok, now I understand. Let’s just hope for Sunburst’s sake that his mother isn’t around to see this.

@ABronyAccount  
Thank you! I was having trouble finding a high quality copy online. For a moment I thought I was going to have to dig out the old anthology and scan it in!

Here’s the Foxtrot ref:
 

 
First published Saturday, February 7th, 1998.

@Magic Nova  
The week-long strip this is base on has the mother Titanic crazy with her husband having to support her disillusion, including the above scene.

@Meanlucario  
Thanks. But I’m still mostly seeing Titanic references though…
 
Plus, nice stuff up there Starlight! Poor Sunburst…

@Magic Nova  
It’s a cartoon strip series. I like it.

I don’t know what foxtrot is, all I am seeing is Titanic references.

Ah Shippy McShip-Face, Boaty McBoatface’s not yet renamed little brother.

See, Starlight is happy in this one.  
Also nice Foxtrot reference.

@Darth Shy  
Sunburst is obviously embarrassed by Starlight. No big mystery.

Wait, real name?

oh dear God, I HAVE this book! :O

Foxtrot?

Shippy McShip-Face lol

“Fine.
 
I’m flying, Princess Celestia.”
