Sonic and Dr. Eggman decide to check out their American comic books and boy are they in for a surprise! Even Old Man Robotnik understands that they're supposed to be funny characters! So howcome the stories got so serious after only 20-some issues? Was the premise of "Dr. Robotnik comes up with a nasty scheme and Sonic foils his plans in some funny manner" too difficult to work with? Seriously, I grew up reading these comics, but stopped reading around issue 28 or so when the writers began to trade comedy for drama. Now I'm trying to get back into it all by reading the comics online and I can't believe how confusing and twisted the stories have gotten! I would think that the Sonic comics should be something that match Sonic's carefree, energetic personality, but these things are so confusing that I can't imagine the blue blur himself bothering to waste time figuring them out!
*sighs* Please, guys, reboot the series. I want to see Sonic pulling funny pranks on Eggman again.
On another note, Eggman points out the very thing I thought even as a kid when I read the comics. Why didn't they just use Robotnik's appearance from the games? The comic version is just plain weird looking!
By the way, I apologize for the crummy way this picture looks. I'm feeling sick today, but I felt like doodling something and this was the result. It looks about as sickly as I feel.

I see what you mean, I think Sonic can work with a serious story, and still have the characters be funny at the same time. Not just one or the other.
