Well, I hope you’re happy. We’re finally repeating ourselves, and there’s only you guys to blame for it. The Shadow half of this joke may or may not have already been on the SonicHQ message board. I really can’t remember.

Oh, and before you e-mail me, Amy is NOT saying “Click”.

When I originally wrote this joke, it was supposed to be Sonic and Manik in the future discussing the matter. Not that I mind how it came out.

Not awkward enough for you? Just imagine Tails calling them “Aunt Sally” or “Aunt Bunnie” while dating them.

If you feel the need to discuss this most pressing question amongst yourselves, the forum’s open.

C’mon! Who didn’t want to see Robotnik as an ultra-cute catgirl? *retches uncontrollably* You owe me big, Kamal.

Kamal

Ah, yes. Sonic Rush. Two Robotniks; no waiting.

If you can’t figure out why I just had to do this joke, take a close look at Blaze’s clothing and tell me what you see…

Things have conspired against us, and thus there will be no comic on Friday. We will return on Monday though, so stay tuned.

You know, I hear a lot about peoples’ high expectations for Blaze the Cat of Sonic Rush, the official title for Sonic DS. Some people believe that Blaze’s purpose is to appeal to a broader female base by giving them a strong female character they can identify with. But given SEGA’s track record for female characters, I don’t hold my breath. What do we know about her? She’s a queen of an alternate dimension, and she looks perpetually angry. I have a feeling she’s not gonna get much more personality than that, and I have a feeling that Blaze will just wind up being another love interest for Sonic, just like Amy. Because as Kim Possible has proven, a guy and a girl CAN’T just be friends.

I say to SEGA, stop creating new characters until you develop real personalities for your existing ones.

If you haven’t already, check out Sega’s official E3 site for some decent Sonic Rush info.

Okay, so I’m a lying sack of shit.

Seriously, though, real life has been hectic this week. You can read my extended rant about it, but the jist is that, after more than a year of unemployment, I’m finally returning to school. So, of course, I’m going to have to change how I work on the comic to make sure we keep our update schedule on track.

Hopefully, this’ll be the only week of turmoil, so wish me luck, and keep reading!

Well, we finally tracked Kamal down, and now he’s gonna have to put in some overtime. Friday, expect twice the comic as we bring the 25 Years Later saga to its conclusion!

The Field of Plotholes

Last night, the world was subjected to MicroSoft’s hype machine “revolving” around the new XBOX 360. Yes, for one painfully long half-hour, inbetween MTV’s embedded commercials for MTV2 and Pimp My Ride, the “whole” world got to see less than five minutes of glossy, pre-packaged exposure of the anorexic game machine in between The Killers’ wailings.

Elijah Wood looked like he was concentrating on the size of his paycheck to stay awake as he woodenly recited from the Tele-prompter how much our lives sucked before the 360 came along to deliver us from our anti-aliased sins.

What did we learn about the new system? Um, it’s white. But, just like your cell phoneóyou kids like cell phones, right?óyou can customize the first inch of your XBOX with some snazzy faceplates.

Oh, and you can go broke paying MicroSoft for an entire brand-name wardrobe for virtual characters. I say, why wait 8 months? Just walk into your local Old Navy and set your wallet on fire. It’ll probably be more entertaining.

Last night’s message seemed to scream only one thing: “No geeks allowed.” There was no information on the processor, the hard drive, the peripherals; hell, they didn’t even say one word about the damn controller. None of that seemed more important than how well Wilmer Valderrama can play Perfect Dark Zero. (He sucked, by the way.)

The only thing I learned last night is that all MicroSoft wanted to be the first out of the gate, trying to distract North America from what is going to be a fierce battle between them and Sony for the next generation of impressionable youths.

Of course, the best way to patch up plotholes is to make sure they never happen in the first place. But, oh, well.

Maybe it’s just a limitation of any serialized media. I know the fastest way to write yourself into a corner is to not have a clear idea of where to have your charas end up, a Point “B” they can travel to. But with a beast like Sonic the Hedgehog you can’t have a Point “B.” If you did, the comic would be over.

This doesn’t mean I think the book should end. Just have the writers act as if it was. It would probably get them to tighten up their writing. I mean, look at shows like Enterprise. This season has arguably been the best, and why? Because the writers know they won’t have a chance to work on it again. And I wonder what Archie would do if they imagined themselves in the same position.

And then I usually wind up in fits of laughter. But, oh, well…

You can see the second part of this filler if you vote for us on Top Web Comics but only if you really need to see right away who won the argument. Both parts will be available on our archive page next Friday anyway.

Delays preventing a new strip today. We’ll be back on Monday!
