<\/h2>\r\nWhere has everyone’s favourite comic been? Boomers, never let it be said that those troublesome humes can run the show without me, as they found out when they played a prank that went wrong at their April Fools’ “Fake Christmas” Party. Check it out in my exclusive movie<\/a>. Droids and humes of a sensitive disposition, steer clear! Don’t worry, I’m all back together now and ready for action. <\/p>\r\n But while the humes were wondering who was going to order their cheese and pickle sandwiches, Sonic the Comic Online was awarded second place on the best online comic category in the Diamond National Comics Awards <\/strong>– as voted for by comic guys and ‘bots around the world. Me and the rest of the humes would like to thank everyone who voted. <\/p>\r\n All right, I know you want to know what’s going on! First up, it’s a stroll down memory lane for Sonic and his friends as he visits the ruins of the Death Egg<\/a>. Meanwhile, our two-part Knuckles<\/a> story concludes in style. Plus Hume Stu Gibb is flexing his itchy thumb fingers with another fab Review<\/a>, and there’s a selection of splendid pin-ups<\/a> for you. <\/p>\r\n\r\n Sharp-eyed humes will already have noticed that Speedlines<\/a> has moved to its new home in the Message Zone<\/a>. Don’t forget to drop me a line there or using my old e-mail address and then look out to see if you’re one of the first people to have a message featured in the new Speedlines. Enjoy the summer, Boomers, and remember: stay cool! <\/p>\r\n\r\n For years, the evil Doctor Robotnik ruled Planet Mobius. With his Troopers and robot slaves, he terrorised the population. Eventually, Sonic and the gang defeated Robotnik and freed the planet. <\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” custom_margin=”25px|||” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_team_member name=”Sonic” image_url=”http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/datazone\/231sonic.jpg” animation=”fade_in” module_class=”circular” _builder_version=”3.0.64″ header_text_color=”#9c27b0″ header_line_height=”2em” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.8)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px” background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid”]\r\n\r\n Sonic is the super-fast hero of Mobius, and leads a gang of freedom fighters.
