Knuckles Metallix drawn by Bob & Dobbyn, what else do you want? How about hoop ignorance? A breaded Man shape? A topic so serious that we probably shouldn't have covered it except STC and the format of the podcast forced our hand? You get all that!

Dave fails to turn pages or edit out the ding-dongs as we learn Root's secret and wave goodbye to an important old friend. Sort of.

Spice up your cheese! Would you like to do that? Well now you can, as the Spice Girls launch the career of Cheetah the Cheetah the Cheetah. ALSO: We recontextualise "Tuesday" and collect our GCSEs, and worlds converge as me & Chris' memories sync up.

In which we do not go on a tangent at the start. Straight in, we are. Sonic's fighting Putties, Knuckles can fly but not fly, Mulder misses the action, you can't even handle toffee any more and Diary Dave gets a new obsession... but will you join him??

Imagine you were obsessed with introducing a popular American product to the UK, but the problem was that we already have it, and love it, just by a different name. What do you do? The answer will surprise you this issue as we find out all about Cheetos.

WE'RE BACK! Why were we away? Because Dave moved house and also his PC died. But we're back! Or, if you're listening later than initial release, we're still here and it's normal! This episode: Dinosaur! Queer rep! Gormenghast! Good Amiga tunes!

Goalll! Off siiide! It's a football special! And actually it's fine and we don't mind. What's the best ice cream? Did you ever LOSE a pound coin? And as the reprints begin, we use them as time-wormholes in a coo-el new feature from Spanky!

We find out the many (many) things going on with Johnny, Bucky can't find his ears, Decap ends, another boy trips over another pet, and we switch Abbies for a Diary Zone special. Abby's show: https://www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/10813?tab=tickets

Are YOU yellower-ey? Are you crunklier? Do you want to go to bed, but want to listen to STCTP? Well why not listen to STCTP, THEN go to bed! This fortnight we get into a tiff over Tails again, go to Somerfield for a kiss, and Dave honks the horn of Maths.

It's our BUMPER like a sonic's bumper FIFTH BIRTHDAY EPISODE! So we brought in arch-Archist Tracy to help us celebrate, along with YOU LOT. One big huge Sonic story to end the year-long saga (and a Decap), plus Tracey's brought a bag of japes with him.

Sonic fights Robotnik across every reality, Decap's got bats in its basement, and we go on such a flight of whimsy across the Diary Zone that it takes up an unconscionable amount of the show, but you'll like it, because it's funny.

Birds, like a bird's birds this issue as we enjoy a world without Sonic the Hedgehog. Plus! Why are Chris and Dave having a big barney about what "free" means this fortnight? Look back exactly one STC ago with us and find out.

Amy's origin story! Jelly Tots For Men! Everyone's eyes are kindof bonkers-googly about this exciting episode! Robotnik returns, and in the Diary Zone, we find out what Dave did between diaries, and you'll have to get your anti-cringe coat on because ooff

Welcome, Residents, to the Digital Age! Degauss those screens and wac 'om on the computer desk because it's time for a bit of binary finery. ALSO: Equinox! The Good Folk! Belching with rage! Secret poo! How to speak zombie! And VIOLENCE in the Diary Zone!

A thrilling conclusion brings Robotnik back and he's got all the Emeralds! Oh great! Plus in Decap this ish they just get a dog and it's funny, also there's a horrible bat in Amy & Tekno, and we are offered practical jokes (long as they fit in a sachet).

It's CHAOS EMERALD STUFF this episode as Grimer gets his asterisk out. It's Porkenheimer time as we learn Porker's secret shame: he used to be in the nud. And: Suddenly Sey-less!

Is Sonic dead? Is he sexy? Is Porker sexy? What is and is not sexy - look, this is a rude one, ok? Parental guidance recommended. Why is this episode stupidly long? Nobody knows! But it's full of funny bits so who cares? Rik Mack joins us.

You gotta pop this ep in, because we find out *everything* that's going to happen with Hobson & Choy all at once, we learn who can beat up Knuckles, and we manage to get into arguments about burgers AND typewriters and we play pocket tricks with Dicky.

Join us in the Sexy Zone this episode as we delve into a proper good little issue full of: SONIC! Hobson & Choy! KNUCKLES! Oscar the Pig! DIARY! Dave listens to a phone-in! STUFF! ...I can't think of anything misc.

With a new year comes a new old year, as STC enters 1998. A solid little parcel of goodies. The Emerald Hill folk join the Manosphere, Decap gets its best* page (*we are not in agreement about this), and Shorty escapes his cozzie! And Teen Dave has a Plan

Elson draws two pages of Sonic beating up Santa this issue and if you want ANYTHING else in your Christmas special then you're just being greedy. But we've got MORE for you, as a surprise is dropped on Chris. Also: Rednex! BEADLE! I mean come ON!!

A big bumper-sized issue to celebrate... nothing, actually, it just happens to be one. Lots of stuff happens in this episode, but I'm late uploading it, so your special covert task is to listen and find out what they are. Merry December!

It's a comic of two halves this issue, ygot Sonic runnin' about wallopin' a big sentinel, got Biohazard trashing a coffee shop, frisbees everywhere, and worlds collide in the Diary Zone

A real return to the full power for STC this issue. Emeralds, Drakons, Metallixes, you name it. Sonic dips his nose in someone's birthday cake (not his!) at Hamley's! And in the Diary Zone, a discussion of this very issue arrives from the distant past.

Sometimes we might be accused of being two old men going on and on. Lots of those times happen in this episode. While Sonic revisits Megatox, the lads revisit what you should spread on what, what should be on telly when, and what to write on a poster.

We're joined by comics hume Ruairí Coleman who was worried he'd get a rubbish issue, but he didn't! Also: When rulers are exciting, how many Rangers is too many, and can you imagine the excitement of installing Internet Explorer?

Sonic goes on a minor tour through Tails' imagination, Tails gets framed, Chuck talks a big game, the boomers force-femme everyone, and Amy makes no bones for the jelly-boys. Plus! 15-year-old Dave talks to A Woman and starts writing a musical

Sonic goes on a minor tour through Tails' imagination, Tails gets framed, Chuck talks a big game, the boomers force-femme everyone, and Amy makes no bones for the jelly-boys. Plus! 15-year-old Dave talks to A Woman and starts writing a musical

An experimental issue of STC leaves us worried and confused this episode, as the comic pivots to aim at a new audience that doesn't include us. Still, we get to talk about some toys and think about newsagents and remember when things were a little rosey.

Sonic picks up a fish, Dave describes an ice cream, we say goodbye to an old friend, Nigel brings the Deep Lorre, we mistake budgies for mistaking budgies for parrots, Dave is surprised into summoning the Lilt Man, unsafe rod-sticking, AND click for MORE!

It's Sonic vs Knuckles Metallix in tria-by-combat! Tails fights the mob (seee) and both Chuck and Young Dave have a tooth removed! We disagree strongly about a strip and get into a big fight and are now enemies irl, and then we go on about KFC for ages.

An alien empire puts Sonic on trial, Tails encounters the worst possible spelling error, Wales gets the rumble-oohs, Amy & Tekno meet a man who knows what he wants. Also, in the past, young Dave's hormones finally get the better of his so-called life.

Yes, it's a Long One, but that's because we got distracted by DINOSAURS, so. Also! KNUCKLES METALLIX! The final Plunder! Plus nostalgic robots: good or crap? You'll be surprised which one of us says which. And! Smushy feelings about the STCTP community!

Summer starts here, with a surprise from Sonic's ancestor, Bravehog. Back luck for the Spice Maidens, Stein joins Dave in reliving his childhood, Sonic blasts Portmeirion, Chris talks about Batman Forever, and Dave talks about Fanfics Incessantly.

A bumper episode this fortnight (because Dave's been on holiday and had half the usual time to trim it down), but it's bumping with goodies: Sonic meets a Drakon and goes to Portmeirion, spinner toys, Action-Men, Doozers, and adolescent woes.

We're all plunged into some classic STC game adaptation at the moment with more Flickies' Island. Plus! Igor goes nice in Decap, Amy & Tekno become scouse mums, and it's a close shave with the bigger boys in the Diary Zone!

FLICKY'S ISLAND! Another game adaptation begins this fortnight! Also! The Spice Maidens set sail, the Decappers watch footy (don't even play it!) and what's that falling out of the sky? It's Dick! PLUS! Young Dave figures out how to write music on PC.

A butler tries to pour a tea and explodes, the Spice Maidens are actually quite good, Robotnik's got sycophants kissing his "nose", Tails is a cool dude, and something lovely happens in the fanart page, but you won't find out what 'til the end of the ep!!

In which we have a very silly argument, and spend nineteen full minutes failing to describe something that isn't quite a maze. But YOU'll be a maze! d, that is! By another episode of Sonic the Ponic the Bomic.

Sonic! at the ballot box. Knuckles! tying up loose ends from #100. Rummy! canaster. A police of solidified serup! And in the Diary Zone you'll simply never guess what Dave's gone and researched for you this fortnight. You'll JUST never guess.

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS NIGEL KITCHING & RICHARD ELSON! We had to do something special, didn't we? Sonic the Comic the band joins me, Chris and some "surprise" guests for this hunky-chunky celebration episode. It's the biggest STC ever went.

What did you watch on Saturday mornings? It's live! It's kicking! It's SM:TV...! It's the last epic buildy-uppy episode before the big one-oh-countem-oh. Sonic flings a bomb over Mobius, Robotnik has another lever, and Young Dave gets on the internet.

The revolution begins as Lew gives a call to action! Dave finally earns Chris' respect and loses it again! Two dangerous boys hack into a TV channel, only to play their normal content anyway! It'll make you come undone!

After a few episodes of grumbling from the pod-Humes, we hit an issue that's banger after banger after banger. Inter-strip continuity, stakes, mature characterisation - but why? Why are all the strips ramping up, and towards what? Hmmmmm!

We usually basically agree about STC don't we? Well not today, bub! One of us hated it, one of us loved it, and if you've been paying attention you'll guess which is which. But which way is your toast buttered? Oh yeah, also: our oldest-mannest derail yet

Newborn Jolene joins us (finally) for Amy & Tekno's first strip together as the team strengthens without Sonic. Er...? Also: Q is for Question, Q is for Query, and Q is for Quitting. (Not us. We're not quitting. But something is!! Can you guess what???)

Merry Christmas, Boomers! Either you're doing your last wrapping or it's all over, your Argosses are all wrung and you've made your way through stocking after stocking after stocking. Now it's time to relax with us and look towards New Year 1997.

Yuuuu-el! It's tinsel time, Boomers, which means we can eat Heroes just for one day. So we've stuffed your stockings with all sorts of fun this fortnight. What have we got, we've got "Insect-Guy," we've got hot babes, Father Christmas, everything. Ho!

Hard men cannae abide thy milky drinks, but they can just about manage a pack of Haribo. Plus we find out we're being very mean about the literal nicest man alive, and we change our minds about Charmy.

It's distressingly late in 1996, and the boys are getting excited about Sonic in 3D. Dave lies to a teacher because the truth is too silly, Charmy reveals his big secret to a disinterested hater, and Owen dislikes good things.

I can't be bothered to write a description for this one! Yeah! I can just decide to do that! How will you know what's in it now? Well, you'll have to listen to it obviously. What harm could that do? Eh? Find out: inside!

Due to a microphone gaffe we've had to do some reconstruction work on this episode. See if you can hear the enhancements with just your own bare ears and claim your audiophile crown. Chris also has a crown! The tooth will out! There's Sonic comics an all.

Another CONRTOVERSIAL issue this episode, we get the low-down on the time they tried to [unalive] Knuckles the Echidna. Plus! We drift off during an advert! Dave falls over backwards! It's Sonic! Yeah!

This is the episode where Tails is handed a sniper rifle and invited to take out Robotnik. It did really happen, and this is the issue. Also, it's a bit of a general shambles of an issue production-wise. Also: Fun online! The same cheats as last issue!

Dave and Chris make exciting observations about the cover, Chaotix lose their Tardis, mobsters turn on children for a Skittles ad campaign, and Dave exercises what Chris calls his "unrestrained horniness".,

Will Chris give Dave his cherry, in exchange for Dave's strawberry? Find out in this thrilling episode, in which fire clowns attack, chocolate digestives don't exist and we encounter an unserious Jobling.

26 years ago Dave wrote a song that will never leave your head ever again. I apologise. (I don't.) Plus: Just what is a superhero and why doesn't Dave know? Why can't Sonic trust the pigs? Who's the Pink Man in the Green Man? Harmless Auld Rot!

This issue we blow open the whole stinkin' operation of the Graphic Zone with our EXCLUSIVE SCOOP about their nefarious practises. Plus! Metmorphia's story ends, and Dave composes a silly ditty.

Is there any better feeling than the first day of the summer hols? And what happens when childhood summers end? We get very silly and giggly in this, the FINAL, and undoubtedly the BEST STC special.

WHAT was the Chewits monster called? HAS Super Sonic killed his friends? WILL Robotnik defeat Brutus? WHAT's going on with Sonic's crotch in this one? Plus: Tails' sexy pants! More flippin golf! STCTP: even chewier than Barrow-in-Furness bus depot!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's what you'll say if you a) listen to this episode with our Retronauts guest Stuart Gipp, or b) kill all your animal friends in an uncontrolled "fury", like Sonic does this issue. Also: no golf games are not good, STUART.

It's the One. THE Super Sonic story starts here. It's a longer episode, but we had to really get into this. You know it, it's famous, and this is it. Also: what's going on with Gex, Chris rolls a six, and power water gun cow suit.

The world's gone Knuckles-mad, but it happened before! Here's a magazine, separate from STC, and ALL about Knuckles. A bit of extra STCTP for you between episodes for you dime-bars this summer.

It's the podcast's THIRD BIRTHDAY! So we got Guy & Cat round, we got cakes out, and we had one of the silliest, giggliest episodes yet. We visit Segaworld, do crimes at the Garden Centre, share Sports Day memories and prove Sonic is without Original Sin

The sega Superstars finally flutter out this issue, as STC becomes a Sonic-only Zone. Plus! We have a minor breakdown about the Playstation, Dave is accused of being "twee and absurd" if you can imagine that, and it's still Robyn with a Y.

Join us to find out what button clamps are for and whether they really changed Opal Fruits. Join Sonic for some antifash statue-yanking and some "comedic or cartoonish bonk-the-subordinate". Also, learn what Sonic cartoon fans are called.

You already know OF it: the episode where Porker leaves. But what's the context of that scene and how does it pay off? Dave's old pal from the STC days joins us to discuss this BRILLIANT issue.

We saw the film, we talked about the film. Yes! It's somehow been TWO YEARS since we last did this! Jehan's back, of course. Full spoilers discussed.

What would happen if you won a big Pritt Stick? Did you use to go swimming? Are Badniks people? Do you believe the reason they're called Tazos? We answer all these questions in this giggly episode, so stick that in your glue-hole-yoo-hoo!

"This is the best thing that's ever happened on this show." What made Chris say that? Get your mum to download this episode for you and find out! Also: a 90s detective diversion, a means of Space Harrying, and a Willy Baronet.

The Sonic strip that "shouldn't have gone to print,"* the 1st part of UK comics' only adaptation of a JRPG,** a Mars a day, and a trip on Pippa's train to Once Upon a Time

The epic rerun of Sonic's origin concludes, Chris sees a new episode of Turtles, and we get the inside scoop from a Speedlines fib we all fell for. It's STC's smelly issue! Issued to you, our smelly listeners. I MEAN OUR LISTENERS!! Oh, what a giveaway

What are the top ten kissy smooches on the Sonic Web? Listen to this episode and you'll find out, Saucy! The Rs are very rhotic on this, our Valentine's ep. Also: we each lose our Sonic fanfics in the Diary Zone, and OH YEAH THE ORIGIN OF SONIC AGAIN!

Sonic and Chaotix travel back in time to find out where it all went right in the build-up to the reveal of Sonic's origin story! Er... again. Also, back in 1996, Babydave gives a firsthand account of playing through S3&K for the first time.

On a Metallixised Mobius, Sonic meets Dave's favourite cliffhanger. In a dinosaur graveyard Knuckles gets a faceful of funkydust. On a 1996ised Earth, a hypnotic headmaster leads us down a very merry path. It's ALL about Ape in our 1st episode of 1996!

Come back to 1995 with us via the special STCTP teleport pad, as '95-Dave brings us an on-the-spot report from the big day. Plus! Metal Porker! The NEW Master Emerald! It's a general knees-up so bring A Big Egg nog etc etc etc, I'm going to bed!

Where should Espio have the horn? Why all the Garfields? How on earth do you crowbar the anniversary of your nan's favourite soap into a kids' comic? Find out, on the Eldorado of podcasts!

What sort of vibe do you get from Tracy? Was Coronation St a stealth game? What do Strong And Cool people do? Why don't you stop asking stupid questions and just listen to the podcast??

Shredheads and Shredless Wonders alike will enjoy our cereal offences this fortnight. Chris works his way through a pack of Pastilles (here they are right now) that seem to be reading along, Ecco ends, and a new Knuckles strip brings us NIGEL DOBBYN!

It's Halloween again, boo-mers! Our third! So we probably say all the same things about Halloween as ever. Never mind that! It's Brutus! It's Shorty & Tekno! Ecco! Knuckles & Tails! It's a banger of an issue

Brutus! Tekno! Farthing Wood! Reboot! Sugar Puffs! Holograms! School friends & enemies! The worst film a child can watch! Sam from Freak Zone Games is here, newly-minted copy of Spectacular Sparky in hand, to discuss Shadow's shaft and Beano sacrifice.

This episode: Breaking school stationary and "forgetting" PE kits. Also, the genuinely harrowing conclusion to the Brotherhood of Metallix story, Ecco goes to SPACE, and various things are wrong with Marsupilami. Plus: the music of Sonic Chronicles

"UKCAC podcast!" you've been shouting -- at least, we think that's what you've been shouting. So here it is, the issue where Boomers were invited to meet the Humes-who-think-they're-in-charge. We had a roving reporter on the scene. Also: Metallixes! etc!

We join hands across the Irish Sea to reunite something we accidentally split up. Plus! Sonic gets a stick and whacks a Metallix's head off with it, Ecco bounces back, and it's Gibbon in goal! Gosh I've still got some characters left... give us a 5* revie

We've avoided it for too long: this fortnight, He must be discussed. Also this issue: the Brotherhood of Metallix, the FINAL Kid Chameleon, why Nack is also Fang, Knuckles & Tails team-up, and a catastrophic misinterpretation of the popularity of barf.

What was Jonny's first horror story? What's so hot they're cool (other than us)? What are the Brotherhood of Metallix called? What does Robotnik's nose look like? FIND OUT, IN OUR NEW-LOOK EPISODE!

Facts: All strawberries have warts in. Fact: There's a difference between the seaside and the beach. Speculation: Sonic and Shortfuse team up, the Wayne Gretzky title music must be by the same person as the Eternal Champions tune, STC is antifa. Hello!

Chris looks in them windows, Dave has the nicest Whippy in England, Abby lends her dog expertise and Dave recounts a very rude joke a man told him on holiday in 1995. Plus! A Graphics Zone we've been dreading for a long time now! Hoooofffffyah.

How embarrassed would Dave be, do you think, if he talked at length about a man who drives a boat, but didn't realise that man invented Postman Pat? Find out! Also: Citadel Robotnik! Sonic on his hols! Emperor Metallix! Sac Magique! The joint is hoppin'!

We answer all your burning questions. Who are the Chaotix? Why are there two Metallixes? What's the sourest thing Dave's ever had in his mouth? How do you eat an After Eight? Does Sparkster go to space? Find out! (Abby says Gamma is good actually, btw)

Buckets & Spades! A 99 with flake! Scatch on the beach! That's right, we're all goin' on a Sonic holiday special, with features you'll never believe: reprints, the opposite of a fact file, Kid Cruel AGAIN, oof, and WAIT til you hear the Chaotix review!

The DEATH EGG is launched, it has the Master Emerald, and it's poised to destroy the Emerald Hill Zone and all who live there! Plus: a Garfield hiding in plain sight, some 32X demos, the Beanoinest Sonic strip yet, and Bored of the Rings! (Speccy joke)

STC and STCTP both hit a landmark 50 EPISODES! Tom Campbell from A History of Sonic the Hedgehog joins the celebrations. Plus! it's one long fight scene for Metallix and Super Sonic! The Red Star and the blue star have a race! It's a GAS!*

Hidden Palace! Super Emeralds! Lava Reef! Death Egg! Eggrobos! METALLIX!! It's the Sonic and Knuckles story! Plus: what would 1995 Dave do with 4m quid? Who is Simpson? What if we LIKED a Tails strip? What's so good about Micro Machines?

A Final Farewell to the Streets of Rage! Also: this issue gives away a pack of the most mysterious, the most enigmatic sweets ever known to man, Chris tells his sweety stories, Dave crafts his own News Zone, and it's full-time for Marko. (yes? full-time?)

Abby rejoins us (it's always the quiet ones) as we face the terrifying DEATH EGG, and watch it destroy our heroes, bodily. Also! Shorty makes his debut, and on top of all that, it's the Valentine's issue, so everyone gets paired-up with a pink counterpart

You're a cool kid now. Sonic's got a bridge to blow up, Shaq wants a Mortal Kombat, we learn some Tennis jargon, we find out what Star Wars is, in the episode that "moves in physical time". Twadgequiddle!

Sonic goes guerilla against the construction of the Death Egg, Knuckles' main antagonists remain the Marx Brothers somehow, Robotnik is feeling all a-Scottish and we meet lots of beautiful Girl Versions this fortnight.

Happy new year, Boomers! But before we launch into a BIG 1995, there's a bit of 1994 spin-off content that we skipped in order to do it as a special, and here it is. The LAST of the Poster Mags. Enter: Nigel Dobbyn!

It's the end of 1994! Robotnik gets his own strip and it's Knuckles vs Literally the Marx Bros in this second bumper-sized Christmas issue! Plus appearances from a very special surprise guest to mark the occasion. Merry Christmas, Boomers!

STC fan Martin Billany (he also makes Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged) joins us for a BUMPER Christmas issue this fortnight, and we chat on about our Sonic memories together. Mega CD lusting,Tomorrow's World 3D Stereo, a big Xmas quiz, and strips for Megadroid & Amy!

Sonic hopes for T-shirt weather, the Eternal Champions bow out, Gary Gygax fails to create an RPG, Tweety's identity is contested, the True Identity of the Red Ranger is revealed, and we find out the secret origin of Mobius Eggs. Plus! A weird Speedlines!

What's the most disgusting thing you can do with a chip? Why was there a Rambo cartoon? What do football fans famously talk like? We flat-out reject a Sonic strip. AND KNUCKLES!

It's Halloween! And it's Bonfire Night! So we bend our sparklers and start whanging them around, especially when we get to the Frosties competition. Plus: Sonic is good, and TAILS is good?? (Marked E, but still not very explicit.)

Feeliman and Bulmamuffin are in the house, Zig and Zag sty-lee, here to talk about The Den, and rattle off references to Dragon's Eye, T-Bag and all that old people stuff. ALSO: a really really good Sonic strip and some READERS' LEGO!

Would you let Porker Lewis perform brain surgery on you? Are you a Girl With Kitten or a Biker Figure? Join the only philosophy group you need as we discuss lines cut from Hook and who isn't in The Pagemaster. #knuckleswaspink

Knuckles fights Sonic, Dave gets closure on a teenage mortification, the Chuckle Brothers look for droids, and we talk about our sticker-collecting days as STC provides us with not one, not two, but four free sticker albums (by mistake).

Knuckles is here, what else do you want? Well Richie's here as well, to discuss the time he heard Knuckles in the toilet & obscure flavours of Pastilles. Are you a Chinless Wonder? Have you ever eaten a penny sweet off a newsagent floor? (open for CW)

What happens in this issue? I can't remember! I haven't had to edit this one, so it's all slipped out of my mind. But we have a whole section about Boots and squirty cream, and you like that don't you. You like that stuff. Plus, the first mention of S&K!

It's a pop-packed episode this fortnight as the stars (plus one of the judges at a village fete in Skeggy) line up to cuddle Sonic and Tails at the Sega/Capital Radio Roadshow, but can you remember any of them? Plus: MUTANT LEAGUE begins; "North" is bad.

Lew Stringer packs a page and Mark Millar packs-in Rage. The 32X is revealed and the advertisers pull out - coincidence? Plus Pirate STC starts to genuinely wear Dave down. Plus we talk about Yikes! pencils, why not.

A little nibble of a minisode as we cover the last of Summer 94's STC specials, a little-seen strip with a lot to offer - including the debut of Lew Stringer!

A mystery from the depths of the Aqutic Ruin Zone nopes out as soon as it's yepped in, Mark Millar straps a bomb to a man to a toilet, Tails goes "durr", and something presumably happens in Pirate STC. ON THE AMEEEE-GER!

It's the summer of '94 and you're spending a lot of time bored in Nanna's living room while she chats to Mum in the kitchen, or stuck in the car on the way to Skeggy. So Fleetway gave us this magazine to pass some time. Featuring a special KNUCKLES strip!

White shorts on a Spurs kit, Denis? It's the FINAL PART of Sonic Terminator, and the first part of something very strange called Pirate STC. Plus: Footie kits, a footie kid in 3D and a feetie kid in need.

It's STC's (and STCTP's) first birthday! To mark the occasion, we've got a special guest to enjoy time travel shenanegans, the first time Sonic and Tails met, and the end of Wonder Boy: the current editor of Sega's official Sonic comic!

Sonic CD begins in earnest as Sonic sends this issue up the chain; Dave gets counter-pranked on the Isle of Wight; Streets of Rage gets REAL; Megadrives on planes; Hulk gets specific and Porker gets NUDE.

Captain Plunder's got the Chaos Emeralds and his ship turns out to be flying! Streets of Flippin Rage is back! And: we find out what / where Sonic's World is and what / where is the Bum Bit.

A brief tussle with Joe Musashi between episodes.

He approaches! It's The Sonic Terminator: part 1. But who (Metal Sonic) is the mysterious figure stalking the comic?? (It's Metal Sonic.) Also, Eternal Champions & Shinobi end, a "video comic" intrigues, and Golden Axe goes to the seaside.

The Real STC is here! This fortnight, POLYGONS have been invented, and are coming to the "Saturn"?? Cap'n Plunder wobbles his ugly chops, the Champions show us their guns, and Shinobi cheats his way to the top. Plus: a good Wonder Boy!

Robotnik emerges from his Regeneration Egg, and we review an impossible joystick in a News Zone almost entirely stuffed with things that never happened. It's utterly hatstand! (There's one procedurally generated f-word at the very end, parental boomers!)

It finally happened, and we couldn't just NOT do an episode. Sonic has a movie, and not just two obscure VHS tapes slammed together this time. We're joined by Jehan (@maustallica) from Serious Disness, for a special crossover episode! Nnnnaaaaiiiled it!!

STC releases a spin-off publication to promote Sega's upcoming fighting game, convinced it's going to be the thing to take down Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.

The real STC starts here! It's the big one, as Amy Rose enters the comic, and with her comes the Kintobor Computer, Grimer, and a new start for Dr Robotnik. Not a new series, call it a "regeneration". Plus: can you trust kids with a small green frisbee?

STC blows a big raspberry in its trousers in this deeply regrettable spin-off pamphlet best left in the past. But we said we'd do it, so we have to.

Super Sonic becomes somehow ordinary, Wiz 'n' Liz is somehow panned, "football" loses the match and the Multi-Mega fails to take hold, and then Tails surprises us all with a big twist. It's the most thrilling episode of STCTP ever!!

Dave is a right pugil stick in the conclusion to Sonic's first two-parter this issue. Also we get our first review of SONIC THREE, and knock-knock, who's that in the News Zone?? Plus, the Eternal Champions smash their way into their own strip!

We have quite a giggly time this issue, as the first "Part 1" from Kitching & Elson brings us the Casino Night Zone, the Marxio Bros and Porker's biker jacket all in one strip! Plus the final Ecco of series one, and the final Golden Axe EVER!

It's finally 1994, and we man the Sega Fleet to discuss one of the most misunderstood Sonic stories ever. It's brilliant, it's creepy, it's Ilya's hallucinogenic masterpiece, Sonic The Human. How many STCs can you fit in a kilogram?

Today we look at a strange side-publication which remains the only real source of info about a prototype Sonic cartoon that influenced STC, Adventures AND SatAm! Plus! This episode you'll get to hear what we sound like without the fancy production work.

Merry Christmas to All Our Readers! It's the Christmas issue of STCTP (Santa the Christmas the Presents) with your hosts Dave Yulemer and Christmas Feely. This issue, Robotnik's feeling festive, TAILS gets a strip... and Sonic 3 is coming!

Ecco has a sexy new look, so does Puggsy, Tails is on the way in and Decap is on the way out. PLUS: Are there any other girls out there? Something interesting happens in our Speedlines section this episode.

We top our trees with tat this issue as Bob Beaky holds a rally, Abby definitely remembers sticking that in his mouth, and Sonic becomes a bottle of Cola-Coke.

Ecco the Dolphin joins the comic this issue, and we learn what a "belt clip" is (it's nothing), the venerable Sally Acorn makes a return, we do a Spot The Difference, and Urotsukidoji makes us empty our sprout pouches. Plus: Robotnik's REAL name!

More like Mark Filler! It's an elephant platformer special this issue, as our TRIO of hosts confront: Sonic is rude to "Steve Owl," Kid Chameleon goes all CITV, we get the first glimpse at Sonic ON TELLY, a man melts into lava, and Decap gets VERY rude.

Sonic has to leg it around the whole planet in mere seconds before everyone dies. But why are all the pictures of Sonic different? And who did Yogi Bear maul? Answers inside. You have the right to come quietly, it's Sonic the Comic the Podcast again!

Join the gear, fab, groovy chaps as Bob Beaky battles the malignant Megatox, Aladdin looks exactly like Aladdin, and we finally reach the first episode of DECAP ATTACK! *?@$%, it's a goodun!

Sonic and friends emerge six months into the future to find an Emerald Hill Zone occupied by a new breed of soldier Badnik. Plus: Kid Chameleon becomes Cyclops, Sonic CD is coming, and Wonder Boy moves on. But first, we have to deal with the sad news.

That's right! It's the one you've been waiting for: Kintobor's terrible error! We've pulled out all the stops to present the story to you. Plus! Woolies, Hubba Bubba, and Hasselhoff thinks lifeguards are the closest a human can get to being a dolphin.

In this *great* issue, we meet Richard Elson & Super Sonic, Kid Chameleon swaps sunglasses for samurai armour and Mark Millar's Streets of Rage adaptation perfectly anticipates his career. Plus! Sonic has a woggle & Grimomen has an arse on the front.

Fleetway provide a handy jumping-off point for STC readers this issue! Chris rebels against them in a big way. Sonic sinks the Death Egg, bravely brave Shinobi faces the Neo Zeed, Golden Axe is axed and Wonder Boy tries the jukebox at the Shame Inn.

Some bacon kidnaps Tails, we meet Amy Rose and her hair, Captain Picard hits people with a stick, Wonder Boy meets the Omni Viewer, Chris is FURIOUS and Dave is tiny. What the holly-golly is this? It's Sonic the Comic the Podcast!

Sonic gets turned into a Badnik, Shinobi fights the Monkey King, CG finally matches real life, Dark Guld awakens and Wonder Boy does a bunch of stuff. I hope you like this podcast, cause we can't stoppy! Theme tune at http://sonicthecomic.bandcamp.com

If you forgot your Megadrive at a bus stop, what's the worst that could happen? Did anyone actually want joysticks for their MD? How many prickles are ok for a balloon? Come back to 1993 with us and find out. "BIG ATTACK!"

Tails is a cyborg, Damon Hill is a racing driver, Night Trap is a video nasty, Shinobi is looking for his lady love, Steve O'Donnell is from Bottom, the Old Crone loves rotting and Wonder Boy is also here. Theme tune by sonicthecomic.bandcamp.com

When Sonic had only one sequel, Robotnik had no other name and Knothole was not whole, there was the British Sonic comic. Come back to 1993 with us and find out how Sonic rolled in his earliest days. Plus Golden Axe, Shinobi and more. It's retro-orbital!
