Description
Sharper than a Cyber-Razor Cut! This podcast is your online guide to the Sega-sational world of the 1990's and the UK's official Sega comic: Sonic The Comic.
Join the humes who think they're in charge, Dave Bulmer (a.k.a. DemonTomatoDave on YouTube) and Chris McFeely (creator of Transformers: The Basics on YouTube), as they review each issue from cover to cover, adverts and all, and explain what it was really like to grow up with Sonic The Comic as a piece of culture. Sonic Boomers (that's you, listeners) may also expect the occasional tangent about other pieces of 90's UK culture such as Woolworths and El Dorado.
You can also read along with STCTP on each episode's webpage which can be found at stctp.zone and if that's STILL not enough content for you, join our Patreon at patreon.com/stctp for reviews of the Martin Adams Sonic novels (including an exclusive interview with the author!) as well as livestreams of Dave reading the awful Sonic fanfics he wrote as a teenager to Chris.

We're spluttering and gibbering this issue because this one probably shouldn't have happened. Chris sets about wringing some hate out of Dave, but Dave's attention is elsewhere. Also, can you still get a pterodactyl? We wild-westigate the graphic zone and revive an old dead Zone we haven't visited in ages. Patsy Palmer goes fishing, and we meet some chocolate northerners.
It's Shanazar's swan song - or perhaps that should be Frog Song. Dave's frustrated about one game's release while everyone else is excited about another, we learn how not to use a whoopee cushion, use a four-letter word for Timmy and make some Mark Morrison noises
In this episode, we have gone a bit bonk-nanas. We'll contemplate middle-aged pickles and the best way to have diarrhoea, and learn what the people of the Bronx did before anyone else, and there's teenage Sonicey beef in the Diary Zone
Sonic meets one of those Medusas and as usual we slam into something we were not looking forward to and actually it makes a bit more sense than we thought. Oodie-boodie!And actually, while we're here, I just want to add that when I say in the episode that I thought they were saying oodie-boodie, I was mostly basing that on the impression of it done by the boys (and yes, it was the East 17 boys) in my class, and so for all I know those boys may in fact have been saying oodie-boodie, having no more knowledge than I did about such things. They also knew a few more words and you're going to hear why this episode. Even though I've bleeped them, even the bleeps are too rude so I've marked this episode Explicit. Also we say bollocks! :O
Teen drama this fortnight as the early Sonic fandom are stupid enough that the grownups have to step in. Plus: A new enemy for Action Man, Mark has the last Word, and we choose our own adventure (and it's blithering on)
It's bits n' sticks at the seaside this fortnight as we "launch" into a historic film that's finally here. Sonic gets stuck (like a stuck bird) into a race in space. But what else have we got, ooh, we've got buckles that mutate, Buckles and his mate, and a lot on Deborah's plate. We solve the mystery of the hopper popper champion, we find out what weapon comes free with most children's comics, we ask what you call a Crocodile and whose bits are entertaining. Hog tags.
Zonk! Hello! It's us again, two gentlemen you've never seen before. If you thought you did, that was our holograms. Well there'll be (holo)GRAMS of fun in this fortnight's metric episode, where horses ride dinosaurs, monsters are real but Mulder & Scully are fake, we have a cow, and we go from knights to rookes!
Nothing cools yer hole like it!This episode we answer the question: how is the podcast still the same length?
A bag in the shape of a splat, fey gentlemen, what's custard and how many are a "supply", what killed the Jetsons, and a new tape - it IS gonna be a good podcast!
Everybody get up, it's the start of the FINAL YEAR of STC, and what an episode it is. Grotesque desirable triangles, ideas from the Fun Factory, incredibly sexy insects, a suss six, a sunny seven and two familiar fives.This episode contains one of the most fun editing things I've done in ages when I noticed something about something in the recap attack. I cannot get it out of my head and neither will you.
Some thumps and bumps on the banjo this fortnight, and a couple of tearful farewells as the Nord taketh away.* But they're not taking away the podcast! *because Egmont describes itself as "the biggest media group in the Nordics," so they're the Nord... actually that sounds rude now I type it out like that, I hope I haven't stumbled upon a slur in a language I don't speak. Oo-er! Erk! Cripes! etc
It had to happen, and it did, several months ago. Now it's been turned into an episode! Yes: Jehan joined us for another round-table natter about the third Sonic movie, and a very pleasant natter it was too. Here it is!
Here's a band of boys you can really enjoy! Dave mistakes Macaulay Culkin for himself, the rat has a name, everybody waits by the phone and a meet Judge...... just judge. Yoww baybeh! Wishes what we like! Then Spanky gets bloodthirsty and mercilessly hacks his way through the British entertainment establishment.
They made a vow their comic would be sound, so here's another podcast about it. Sonic proves he's faster than a man's fingers, Action Man hasn't got any fans, we hear Plato's Allegory of the Funkopop, and Chris reads Dave's day-one Underground review
Whew, this one took a lot of editing! We went on for four blummin' hours! Well, we're all here now, so:Where does Sonic keep his ear muffs? What's more annoying than Doop?* When is it wrong for Sonic to rescue children? Join a professional Sonic artist, a socks fiend, and Chris, and drop dead! I mean - find out! *(It's Doop again)
You know what we've been telling you happened to UK comics after STC? We get a couple of disturbing glimpses of it this issue. Bags of tat, three poundsworth of hail Marys, and what happened to Dave when Jasper Carrott came on.
It's a lovely day, and you know what that means (you soon will, anyway), it's time to grab your etheric beam locators and enjoy another STCTP! We've got the return of Robotnik, the end (whew!) of Sonic & Tekno, a polar bear, da wurx!
Cool, a worm! Time for a fun, safe and LEGAL time, because it's our ONE HUNDRED, right, AND FIFTIETH episode of this NONSENSE. And what a party STC have thrown to celebrate! I'm sorry, I'll read that again: What party have STC thrown to celebrate? That's right boomers, NONE. Oh well! But we do have Kintobor, some weirdo worms, and a brand new strip from a brand new writer who Back-Handed Compliments Monthly described as "successfully secured employment on two issues of Sonic the Comic" ALSO: the grossest thing any child ever did, (PAUL!) and it's grave news for Diary Zone Dave and his online pals!
Comic artist & OG Boomer Zak joins us, and he's brought a letter from 1999 written by... well, you'll find out. From one old pal to another, it's a mythic issue as we travel to Shanazar and meet the genie of the bloke's face and Amy punches the Minotaur, and Andy Pritchett bows out (pretend I put the sad music on, I couldn't find a proper place) with a GREAT final set of pages. I've marked this episode "Explicit," it's only as explicit as any other episode, which is to say not very, but as Zak works on kids' comics I didn't want any Phoenix-reading families getting the wrong idea that this will be for the little ones. The swears are bleeped folks, but we still said them in the first place. Up to you. I think it's fine, but it's up to you.
Why is this the whole comic's weirdest opening strip? How do you make a citizen's arrest? How do you disappear flour? What is a deeper way to hate? What are the drawings of Super Sonic drawings of? Are YOUR oranges gay? Who should sleep in an alley? How do you get girls to come to your room? Who wants to go to school with a butterbag? FIND OUT WITHINMoney! Money! Money!

Stone isn’t Sniveley or Grindr. He’s Smithers 😂
The CGI thing is something I also noticed in Endgame and I think it’s a budget thing. In the first Sonic movie, most of your CGI budget was dedicated to one character and a few special effect scenes. In the second film you’ve got three characters that require the same special effects as the first film plus the big set pieces.
Once again great episode! Very earnest, honest and just genuinely insightful. Really appreciate this series. That said, new editor has a tendency to steal the show, and not in a good way.
Dave and Chris on form as usual. Guest lets an otherwise great episode down by letting us know who she votes for every 5 sentences.
