Yes, I know we’ve been late for the last few days, but now we’re going to make a conscious effort to change that. Look for some possible big changes coming up within the next few days too!

What can we say about Tails? He learned to be a dick from the master. And I don’t mean Superman. So Nicole is getting her body back… I wonder where we could be going with this…

And thus the twain shall never meet again. (One can only hope.)

Now I know I didn’t get every chara in on the fun, but I couldn’t figure out any good jokes for Knuckles. And as for Johnny and Lewis, well, I just don’t like them.

I know our North American readers may be scratching their heads right now, but trust us; those familiar with STC should be laughing their asses off right now.

And I just realized I haven’t resolved everything.

And I think I figured out how. See you Wednesday!

Gleah! What a week. Right now I’m just trying to finish up some school projects and unfortunately that means letting PR fall by the wayside this week. But the schedule should return to normal by Monday. See you then.

Wow! What a week! Right now I’m still coming to grips with the fact that Power Rings has made it to final nominations in not one, but two categories in the annual Sonic Site Awards! Thank you all again to all our faithful readers, and thank you even more if you decide to vote for us.

Man! What a week. Feels like I have too much going on inside my head, you know? ^_^

Couldn’t get all the sprites we needed in time for today, so we’re throwing up a filler for the moment.

Recently, Ryan Drummond, the actor who played Sonic in the Adventure series and Sonic Heroes, announced that he had been replaced. He claimed he only found out he had been replaced after learning that recording for Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Riders had begun without him being contacted, and making a call to SEGA. SEGA has apparently decided that they want to maintain continuity starting with Shadow the Hedgehog, so from now on, all voice work for Sonic games will be done by the 4Kids english Sonic X cast.

I await the results with mixed feelings.

In administrative news, the forum has been given a major overhaul, along with an updated set of rules. Please read them carefully.

Update: I’m sorry for the lack of update on Monday, and if we have an update on Wednesday, it will probably be late. We’ll make it up to you all, I promise.

Don’t worry, we’d never let Sonic grow up.

Okay, I have to get this off my chest. After Monday’s comic, we’ve received a few complaints from people upset about how we handled this story. One reader on our forum expressed anger with our use of the word British in place of the word English in our comment, which was an honest mistake on our part as we did not know any better, and that I rectified. Another forum reader was upset by our portrayal of UK Robotnik’s insanity, in that we portrayed him as TOO insane. At the end of the UK comic series, Dr. Robotnik was completely clinically insane and depressed, so I don’t think him spouting gibberish when prompted is too outlandish. And a third reader sent in an email the other day to tell us that they lived in England and that we offended them. They did not leave us any explanation of how we offended them.

Power Rings has hardly had any complaints before this point. This single strip has garnered us more complaints than any strip before it. Yes, all three of them. That I know of. Now, when we started this arc we had no intention of setting out to try and offend anyone reading. We wanted to parody a Sonicverse that we just hadn’t used before, ie. the UK comic, Sonic the Comic. Now, Kamal is the only one of us who has read the entire series, he did so as research for this storyline, and he is also responsible for the dialogue. He found that the UK comic used a good deal of English slang and euphemisms, and as such set out to emulate this in our parody. We did not mean to offend anyone from England or the UK.

In short, we’re sorry if we upset or offended you. We hope that you will continue to read us either way, and in the future, I ask that if you feel the need to write in and express your dissatisfaction with our comic, please tell us what exactly we did that made you so upset in the first place. The last thing I want to do is play a guessing game about things that may be wrong. And if that doesn’t help, take consolation in the fact that this arc is almost over and that we have something better planned for afterward.
