/co/. Lets talk about ponies. But....not really.
Skip to the bottom if you wan't to get to the actual question. I don't wanna talk about the show. I want to talk about the people behind it. I'm not posting this in the general since its really a question directed towards those who aren't into the show.

The staff of MLPFIM seem to be some of the most dedicated and coolest mother fuckers in the industry. Even if they are only making kids cartoons, they respect and defend all of their fans. There have been instances where members have stopped by 4chan for Q and A. Hell, the director even took a fanon character directly from /co/ and made it canon (kind of)

My question isn't really about them though.
My question is, has there ever been anyone else like this? Are there instances in other /co/ related shows where the creators were so courteous to their fans?

For some reason I feel that there are a lot of instances in comics.
