: I think Sonic is really in love with Sally, but with his cockyness, refuses to admit it. I think that at
about issue #100 or #125, Sonic and Sally should become engaged but decide not to marry until
Mobius is in complete peace(they'll probably be about 35 and 37 when they do). Goeffrey St. John
likes Hershey(so do I) so he's lost some of his interest in Sally. I think that Tails and Amy would make
a great couple. Also, I think Tails and Barby Koala would make an awful couple.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to squash a couple of misconceptions before they get out of hand.
Despite any stories we do showing Sonic and Sally together with kids in the future, it's highly
unlikely you will ever see an engagement story set in the present time. It's not that we're against it,
but that Sega won't allow it. Sega does not acknowledge any relationship Sonic has with Sally
beyond simply being friends. She is not his girl friend, period. Sonic is a free agent, and thus free to
date others. This has nothing at all to do with Archie Comics or the characters of Archie, Betty and
Veronica. If Sega said it was alright and we decided not to show Sonic in a dating relationship with
Sally, THEN, and ONLY then, could you lay the blame at the feet of Archie Comics.

As for the stories set in the future, Sega probably wishes we wouldn't do them. They were so
adamant the first time we did it that they made us put a disclaimer at the end of the story. We have
since explained to them that any time we do a story set in the future, it's always with the premise of
being a possible future for our characters, but not necessarily the definitive one.

Mmm, SEGA is a bunch of jerks as far as I'm concerned. What if there was a poll, or a petition made?
If enough fans voted are signed or whatever couldn't SEGA's leg be twisted enough to make it so?
Aren't they trying to give the fans what they want (kinda, sorta)? If enough fans said they wanted
Sonic to show emotion is it possible SEGA might have a change of heart? I know I'm just talking to
hear myself talk, but what do you think?

They're jerks for deciding what gets to happen to THEIR character? They're jerks for trying to KEEP
their character's personality intact? The first issue of Sonic I picked up was the "Wedding Bell
Blues" issue. The ONLY reason I picked it up was because of the cover- I was HORRIFIED to think
that Sonic might be marrying someone. I was very relieved to find out it was all a hoax (and, of
course, that started my Sonic comics fetish). Needless to say, I'm kinda glad Sonic and Sally won't tie
the knot in the comic. it'd be kinda boring =/ I'd miss the Blue Boy! Admit it- if he WAS tied down to
Sally, there would be VERY LITTLE, IF ANY room for adventure! Now DON'T get me wrong- I said
before that I LIKE Sally. She's a cool character in her own right. In a way, she helps Sonic's style
(checking him when gets outta control, etc...) ... but in another way, she seriously hinders his
adventurous style. In reply to the other post about Sonic cheating on Sally... well.. how th' heck can
you cheat on someone you're not even dating? Sonic's not tied to anyone- he has the right to see 13
women if he so chooses. And yes, I'm a feminist too :p I'm just looking at this from a different
viewpoint... what can I say, playing the devil's advocate was always my fave part >:)

I totally DO NOT GET this whole "If he gets married he'll stop having adventures! He'll be boring and
stuffy!" thing.

SINCE WHEN?!!!! Sure, if he married AMY, (whom I like, by the way, but I think she belongs more with
Tails) he might turn out that way, because she's more "traditionally feminine" but Sally?! Heck, NO, if
they got married they'd go adventuring TOGETHER! That's the only difference! You seem to get the
feeling that once Sally gets married to anyone she'll stay home all the time, and force the person
she's married to to stay home as well and make him miserable. Buh-HUH? This is SALLY we're
talking about here, the kick-butt tough girl feminist resistance member don't-take-no-crap-from-nobody LEADER of the Freedom Fighters!! Since WHEN would she suddenly go all domestic if she tied the knot?

If Sonic and Sally got married during a time of war, I see them as going out on raids together as a
matched team, and if they had any kids, those kids would be conceived inside an army tent! They
would take their kids WITH them on their campaigns! And don't tell me that wouldn't happen; the
Romans did it all the time.

If they got married during peacetime, they would have a more stable life as (HOPEFULLY) King and
Queen of Mobotropolis, but still, they'd take vacations and trips every now and then, and take the
kids along, or maybe leave them with a babysitter or nanny if they thought they were too young.
At any rate, SALLY WOULD TRAVEL _WITH_ SONIC!! Why does EVERYbody seem to think she's a
boring pokey domestic stay-at-home? She's SALLY! 'Nuff said.

...Notorious

That Sonic doesn't really like Amy Rose?

Look, maybe in the comic he does, but hey, Amy isn't all that concerned with Sonic like she was in
"Go Ahead Mecha My Day!"(#25) or "Court-Martial" (#40). Don't say that the comic should be like the
game so Sonic and Amy should get together because #1: The comic is not like the game(this is why
game adaptations don't work) #2: In the games, Amy is not Sonic's girlfriend, Sonic avoids Amy
whenever possible. He saves her("Sonic CD" & "Sonic Adventure") because he knows that's the
right thing to do, but that's really the extent.

: I totally DO NOT GET this whole "If he gets married he'll stop having adventures! He'll be boring and
stuffy!" thing.

I think people have a problem with Sonic in a married lifestyle.

: SINCE WHEN?!!!! Sure, if he married AMY, (whom I like, by the way, but I think she belongs more

RIGHT!!

Good Question!

: If Sonic and Sally got married during a time of war, I see them as going out on raids together as a
matched team,

They did that anyway in SatAM(Sonic Universe #5)

: and if they had any kids, those kids would be conceived inside an army tent! They would take their
kids WITH them on their campaigns! And don't tell me that wouldn't happen; the Romans did it all the
time.

I don't know why SEGA has a problem wih it. Look at all the continuties.

AoStH: You'd think SEGA would have a problem with THAT representation of Sonic(the girlchaser).
No, SoA uses it all the time.

SatAM: They didn't cut out the kissing scenes in that one.

Anime: SonicTeam supervised this one and it featured Robotnik in love for Heavens' sake.

Sonic Underground: If SEGA wants Sonic to be the fastest, the coolest, the smartest, the best...etc.
This cartoon should have been "the cancelled". Sonic has no attitude in this, Manic does(and not
very much).

Sonic the Comic: SoE doesn't stop Sonic from being over the top arrogant and obnoxious. This is
the only continuity where I like Tails more.

Sonic the Hedgehog games: Sonic is a loner. Knuckles is a loner. Tails is the philosphical one.
Eggman thinks he's doing the right thing. Amy likes Sonic, Sonic doesn't care for her company("Nuh-uh No Way!"), Amy would probably like it if any guy was interested in her. This is SEGA of Japan's and SEGA of America's continuity.

Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic: First of all, what are they suggesting by using the Anime's title logo on the cover now? SEGA of America, what would be wrong with Sonic and Sally being engaged, or betrothed? Their wedding doesn't have to be shown.

esp. if you think of Tails and Amy compatible. Tails is a thinker,Amy is a bubble-headed ditz.They are intelectualy
incompatible!!!!!!!

I don't, either, Charmy.

: : I think people have a problem with Sonic in a married  lifestyle.

Sonic's a bit young for that & I don't see him "settling down" anytime soon. I don't see him really
-dating- anyone, either. BUT I -do- think he really cares for Sally--and not in the same way that he
does for the other girls (Amy & Bunnie, for example).

: : : SINCE WHEN?!!!! Sure, if he married AMY, (whom I like, by the way, but I think she belongs more with Tails)

Ditto.

I don't know if the world needs a long, rambling post about the interpersonal dynamics of some
comic-book characters, but what the heck, I want to get some stuff off of my chest, since it
seems I don't fully agree with anyone who's posted yet...
For starters, I've also felt that Knuckles had lost a little bit of his edge lately, having gone all
the way from 'punch first, think later' to being too tentative to act. (I don't agree with
everything Sally said in Knuckles #29, but I think her crack about him 'play[ing] apprentice'
was fully justified.) I'm glad to see that you've realized it too, and I trust you know better than
to return him completely to his 'punch first' days.

OK, now on to everyone's favorite topic, Sonic and Sally... (Be warned, I will be responding to
several previous posts in this one post, to avoid putting a half-dozen posts into this one thread.)

Ken:
: I'm no longer certain if Sonic is a one-girl guy. When you stop and think how Sega looks at
: the character, he's all ego and attitude. He thinks about number one.

And if that's all Sonic were, I wouldn't be the least bit interested in him. Antiheroes can make
for an interesting story, but I have no desire to read about one on a continuing basis.

: He can accept Tails because Tails is the subordinate junior assistant to his main act.

Um, one of the complaints I hear gamers making about the comics is that they portray Tails as the 'subordinate junior assistant', while the games have him as being more nearly equal to Sonic. Having never played the games myself, I'm not qualified to say whether they're right or wrong.

: I know I'm going to get into a lot of disagreement with people over this, but I've yet to hear
: anyone ever say "Y'know, he can be such an arrogant jerk, but he's really quite lovable under all that!"

Y'know, he can be such an arrogant jerk, but he's really quite lovable under all that! =)
Sorry about the obvious joke, but to be honest that's pretty close to how I feel about Sonic. He
*can* be an arrogant jerk, but deep down he really does care deeply for his friends, and he'd
be fighting evil even if he weren't getting acclaim for it.

WB (good to see you here!):
: To Sonic both of them have bad quality traits in one department and good in the other but
: what one girl lacks the other one has. Sally, introduced in SatAM, is the patience and calm
: Sonic needs in his life. Amy, introduced in Sega Sonic, is the adventurer (notice how she
: always wants to tag along in the excitement and usually drags Sonic into more trouble the
: adventure was when it started - Sonic CD and Metal Sonic being a prime example). She has
: a crush on Sonic not just to simply have a crush, but because she adores his lifestyle.
: Carefree and on the go JUST LIKE she said in Sonic Adventure. [...]
: While Sally is so busy wanting to settle down and make nookie (LOL ! I just had to say that
: ^_^) Amy Rose WANTS to go on the adventures with Sonic.

Interesting point, although I want to emphasize that while Sally wants to settle down and live
a peaceful life, in times of crisis she will fight for what she believes in. Now that Amy's going
to be closer to Sonic's age in the comics, I'd love to see this quandry addressed in the storyline.

Ken:
: Whoa! Let's describe in what sense of the word "cheat" is being used here. Sonic, to all
: intents and purposes, has no commitment to Sally other than being a true blue friend and
: loyal subject, period. He has never exchanged wedding vows nor even mentioned the word
: "relationship". Sonic is not beholden to Sally in a romantic sense, even if she wishes it were
: so. I understand where you're coming from, but what Sonic and Sally currently have is not
: a lifelong commitment that a husband and wife would have, no matter how much a lot of
: readers would like it that way.

Well, not a blindly loyal subject, but on the whole I would agree with that description. I do
think that there is something deeper than friendship between Sonic and Sally, and that in time,
if nothing external happens to change things, it would lead to marriage, but I haven't noticed
any expression of commitment between them yet.

: I never said Sonic doesn't have feelings. I'm just saying he has a lack of consideration for
: others that easily displays itself at times, and needs to be whumped on the side of the head
: at times in order to remind him that he should think of others first. He may be a hero in every
: sense of the word, but he'd be a boring hero without his inherent flaws.

Very true. It is possible to write an entertaining comic about a 'goody two-shoes' (check out
'Superman for All Seasons' sometime), but it's very hard to sustain such a character for very long.

: There is a reason for the dating process. It's to discover if two people are compatible to face life
: together over the long run. If you wake up one day and decide you can't, you're a lot better off
: being honest before any ceremonies than after. Sonic and Sally aren't even dating. Sonic won't
: even refer to Sally as his girl friend. This is a relationship?!! I think not, and neither would you
: if someone you loved acted the same towards you.

There are times I wonder how effective the dating process is. After all, from what I understand,
it usually winds up being two people spending several hours together trying to display their
best side while hiding any flaws they have. I don't mean to say that it's impossible to really get
to know someone deeply while dating, it just seems that modern culture makes it harder to do so.

Or maybe that's my cynical side showing again.

Actually, the main reason why I like the Sonic/Sally relationship so much is that it's been
developed without them dating. I'd find it very amusing, and totally within character, if they
eventually married without ever having 'dated' each other. Surely after fighting Robotnik
together for over 10 years they've gotten to know each other better than couples normally do
after dating for 3 months, or even a year or two. I know I'd prefer a relationship like Sonic and
Sally's to one like, say, Rose and Jack's from 'Titanic', to pick a recent popular romantic couple.

: If Sonic ever dated anyone else, it's not because he fancies himself a ladies man. He'd more
: likely think any girl would simply want the privilege of spending time with him. And if she
: ever did try to tie him down, he'd be gone in a flash.

Again, I can see story possibilities in this, if Sally tries to push him into a commitment too
soon. Normally I'd say she would know better than to do that, but given all she's been
through lately...

Sonicboom13:
: What are you saying?? Sonic doesn't care about Sally??

Ken:
: Not at all. Relationships are a very complex thing. Sonic does indeed care very much for Sally,
: as he would normally do for a sibling or very close friend. He more than likely cares for her in
: a very special way, but it took something like the scenario in ENDGAME for him to even come
: close to admitting it. Think about it. It isn't until he thinks he's lost her for good does he finally
: contemplate what she means to him. Even then, once it's back to business as usual, he gets
: the ol' wanderlust and goes searching for high adventure, giving not a hoot to what Sally feels.

I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that he didn't give 'a hoot to what Sally [felt]' before
leaving to track down Ixis Naugus, but it's safe to say that he'll always give being a hero priority
over being a friend, or even being a boyfriend. No doubt one of the reasons he's reluctant to
confront how deeply he feels for Sally is that he's afraid a relationship on that level would hamper
his ability to go out and be the hero, regardless of where it takes him or the risk he faces. That
could've been a motivation for his and Tails's 'World Tour', to prove to himself that he could
leave Sally and his other friends behind if necessary.

: Sonic could just as easily remain friends with Sally while dating someone else. She might not
: like it, some readers won't like it, but it would be true to his character if such a scenario did
: come about.

I agree, and I think Sally would accept it, albeit reluctantly, so long as she and Sonic remained  good friends.
After all, there's always Geoffrey to fall back on... ;)

Sega's the one who brought us Sonic in the first place, so you're basically biting the hand that
feeds you. I seriously doubt Sega would consider loosening the tight leash they keep on the
development of Sonic as a character, since they look on Sonic as being a corporate icon as
well. They don't want Sonic married or even openly dating because they (probably correctly)
think it would diminish his appeal to their core audience, young boys. Still, they should keep
in mind the lessons of the past: when Disney decided to make Mickey his corporate icon, the
constraints he placed on the character resulted in Donald quickly becoming the more
interesting, and the more popular, character. Sure, Mickey Mouse as an icon is recognized the
world over, but how many people over the age of 6 care about him, except as nostalgia?
Already, I see a lot of people saying they like Knuckles better than Sonic.

Pepper-Jie:
: Admit it- if he WAS tied down to Sally, there would be VERY LITTLE, IF ANY room for
: adventure!

Actually, no, I won't admit it. The only way Sonic would get married would be if he still felt
free to go out and fight badguys, and I believe Sally would understand this (and even help
him when possible). What it would do, though, would be to alienate a good many of the
young boys who are Sonic's core audience; it would also eliminate any sort of (pseudo-)
romantic tension that we currently have, although marriage opens up other avenues for
exploration in a storyline.

Here's my own take on the Sonic/Sally relationship, for what it's worth (about a plug nickel):
While it's obvious that Sonic and Sally have something special, and they would almost
certainly get married eventually if nothing external interfered, that doesn't necessarily mean
their relationship will be smooth sailing. I enjoy seeing them display affection for each other
beyond simple friendship from time to time, but I think it would go against Sonic's character
to depict them as 'dating'. And Sonic *definitely* won't be ready for marriage for another 9-10
years, until he's 25 or older. I've always seen them as close friends first, fellow Freedom
Fighters second, and a 'couple' third (and only barely acknowledged), and I don't see that
changing anytime soon.

Please keep in mind that this post is the opinion of a fan, and of one who has never had the
chance to play the games to boot. I'm not saying that I'm right, I just felt the need to express
how I feel. And Mr. Penders, I *certainly* don't mean to tell you how to write the comic; I
just want you to know how I feel, and why I feel this way. Personally, I'm just thrilled to hear
that you no longer believe Sally should be killed off. =)

I get what your say and I totally agree with you. I just think that SEGA should get off their high horse
and let Sonic show more emotion. He still needs to be his get-up-and-go self, but, a char that shows
little emotion and is all ego is SO unrealistic compared to one who does. Sonic needs adventure, but
still needs to show al least a LITTLE emotion!!

I totally agree with everything that you said! Ken, I don't mind giving Knux back some of his "edge,"
even though I don't think he lost it to begin with but since so many people keep saying that, I'll try to
see things from their POV. I first met him in Sonic #39, but I quickly learned that he was an attack first,
ask questions later kind of guy. The reason I liked him over Sonic was that he was learning to use his
head and was actually starting to do it (of course not knowing anything about Knux helped too, I love
the mysterious types). I still don't think that just because Knux uses his brain that he's lost his edge. I
agree with Tony that it should take more than someone telling Knux "Come" for Knux to follow that
person (unless it's his family or a friend). I do think that Knux should of said something as a retort,
but I can't completely comment because I haven't seen Knuckles #31 yet. It's at my house, and I'm on
campus. I won't see the issue until Thanksgiving break. Any other examples of Knuckles supposedly
losing his edge I can easily prove that he hasn't. When I see Knux #31, I'd probably be able to show
that he hasn't lost his edge in that issue as well. But until I see it...I have to go on what I hear (why
isn't anyone talking about that issue anyway?)

I'm not even going to comment on the dumping Julie-Su bit, if that actually happened I'd have to go
back to reading Marvel comics instead, which I haven't read since Knuckles got his book. I used to
only read Marvel. Knux & Julie together forever! The first time I saw Julie-Su was on the cover of
Knuckles #5, the first issue I got of the Knuckles series (thanks to the wonders of back issue
ordering I have every issue now though). The first thing I said when I saw her was "This girl should
be Knuckles girlfriend." When I got to know her better, her personality only confirmed what I thought
when I first saw her.

The reason I first met Knuckles in Sonic #39 is well, until I read Archie comics, I COMPLETELY
ignored Sega games & systems. When Sega & Nintendo first came out, I loved the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles cartoon show (I still do). Nintendo came out with TMNT video games, but Sega didn't. I
went with Nintendo and I still refused to get anything that dealt with Sega, even when Sega finally
came out with TMNT video games. Out of boredom one Saturday morning, I watched the SatAM
cartoon show on ABC and I actually liked it. That's when I came to like Sonic a little, but not enough
to buy a Sega game. SatAM goes of the air and I miss the FFs. One day, I walk into a Genovese drug
store and I see for the first time Archie's Sonic series (book #37 to be exact). I was surprised and
thrilled because I saw Sal & Uncle Chuck on the cover so the first thing I thought was that it's based
on SatAM. I know now that there are a lot of differences, the main one being the existence of
Knuckles who I met in Sonic #39. That issue hooked me into the Archie comics, cause I still wasn't
sure if I'd keep spending the $1.50 every month. Then, my family went on vacation, which made me
miss Mecha Madness, but I found Rites of Passage part 3. That issue made me like Knuckles more
than Sally, Sonic, or any other character period and he's remained my fave character to this day. That
issue also got me to find a Sega Genesis so that I could play as Knuckles in the video games. So you
can tell Sega, that Archie comics have gotten them some money and fans.

In my opinion, Julie-su and Knuckles are too alike to be a good couple. Both violent and stubborn.
Also, the colors red and pink clash REALLY, REALLY horribly. Of course, I don't believe that
Knuckles and Sally should nessisaraly be together, though it would still be intersting. Maybe Mobius
would adopt a liberal democratic political system and become a capitialist society! Wee-fun I think.
Though I would be scared to see what their offspring would look like. Julie-su is still one of my
favorite characters from the Knuckles comics, but I am not in favor of them ever getting married or
anything.

I really did enjoy Knux #29 and hope to see another Sally/Knuckles story someday soon.

Of course, this is only my opinion.

...I wanted Sally to be with Knuckles when I first met Knuckles. I thought they would be a very good
couple. Since Sonic & Knux were always fighting each other anyway, I didn't see any reason why
that couldn't happen. Why not add competition over a girl into the mix? However, once Julie-Su
stepped into the picture, I went back to my original Sonic & Sally ways. The colors pink & red do
clash and I would never wear those colors together. However, in Knux & Julie's case, they seem to
go together. I think that's because Julie-Su wears clothes so it's not completely pink on red. I like
Sonic & Sally together because they are opposites, but I like Knux & Julie together because they are
similar. Weird huh?

Don't get me started on Knuckles #29, I wanted to strangle Sally by the end of that story. I know she's
stressed and everything, but she shouldn't have taken out her problems on her friends (Knux & Ant')
and be nice to those who don't care a thing about her (the Brotherhood). The issue was still really
good in my opinion though. I don't believe I should be happy after every issue and I was sad & angry
after that one.

Glad to know your opinion. I like to hear other people's opinions because it makes me think about
and/or redefine my own. Sometimes I change my opinions, other times I don't.

That's pretty much how I felt about the issue as well. Although I will admit I'm still surprised that
Spectre can be so... charming. ;) I really hope there's a follow-up story sometime in the
not-too-distant future where Sally's able to reconcile with Knuckles; it really does sadden me to see
them like this. (And yes, I still believe Mahwinney did a fine job with the art in this issue.)

: Glad to know your opinion. I like to hear other people's opinions because it makes me think about
and/or redefine my own. Sometimes I change my opinions, other times I don't.
Same here; at the very least, I want to understand why someone disagrees with me. Even if I decide
to stand by my beliefs, it's helpful to know why others feel the way they do. Even on something as
supposedly frivolous as a comic book about anthropomorphic animals. ;)
