"Oh wow a Ken Penders thread, I had no idea this was even here. I wonder what the first message I'll see in it will be!"

oh I see I talk about how canonically animals with tits are sexually compatible with human characters and all of the sudden I'm the weirdo
... I know I shouldn't engage with this but are "tits" really the line to think of something as an sexual object? I'm also not sure with which human characters they are supposedly compatible. Penders might be weird but you're defeneatly weirder!
 
It's neat art but at the same time HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS MAP WORK IF THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE SA1 PLOT WHICH IS ANGEL ISLAND CRASHING NEAR STATON SQUARE IF STATION SQUARE IS INSIDE ANGEL ISLAND THAT LOOKS LIKE THE SOUTH ISLAND PLANE CRASH HOUSE SONIC LIVES IN FROM THE SONIC OVA

This shit never stops bugging the shit out of me in the same way how bionicle decided to have metru nui be under mata nui but then they depict them crossing the ocean to get to metru nui when they reveal metru nui's a thing. LIKE IF THEY WERE JUST CONNECTED BY TUNNELS I'D GET IT BUT NO NO THE TUNNELS GO INTO METRU NUI WHICH YOU ALSO CROSS THE OCEAN TO GET TO WHEN YOU FIRST FIND IT WHAT THE FUCK

I could be misrememebring shit here but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

I think it was implied Mata Nui cracked open his skull, and the "ocean" was all that liquid protodermeus leaking out like blood into the planet. It's been a while, idk for sure. But Ken Penders lol.

Objectively wrong because nothing I say or do has any bearing to canon like Penders did. You gotta remember on his Twitter account he clarified his character fucked Sally before Sonic did and he drew fetish art of his character Lien-Da getting foot tickled because that was his wager against Trump winning in 2016.

This map looks like some "Arthur Conan Doyle ate peyote" shit. Makes even less sense than Planet Freedom in the Sonic OVA, which, if I remember right, was pristine NYC wasteland under the smog, and then in the stratosphere you’ve got floating islands ruled by furries.

INCORRECT. THE STRATOSPHERE IS RULED BY AMERICA.
You might be mixing it up with the game "planet freedom" which was named after the sonic OVA's version of earth but was a sonic OC game where every character was shitty furries.

Aside from the old man owl literally every OVA original character shown on-screen is a human.

Also the president kind of vaguely looks like if wario was a healthy member of society but that's another story

I’ve always been on the fence about whether the president and his daughter are human. Pointy ears. she’s got cat-like headgear and a tail. Maybe she’s just a catgirl? But later she’s got a bandage on the tail, like it's real.

Eggman? Uhh, human enough. Maybe because he lurks in the land of darkness, where humans look human.

He's the only guy living there like some kinda weirdo, I'm pretty sure nobody would let some dude just turn the entirety of the landmass next to the half sunken mold filled wreckage of NYC into a fortress with his fucking face on the side of it without there being no laws or people down there.

Also I wouldn't worry too much about the physical aspects of the characters in this cartoon. Those bandages are there on her and robotnik for a brief gag when they pop out of the wreckage and then the next scene they just vanish. I'm pretty sure a lot of the stuff in this is just "it'd be cool or funny to have that in there" logic wise.
 
On a serious note I think the stuff Kens publishing is okay. Print quality and binding seems to be very good. Like a lot of other people I wish he didn't touch the original art. I think he claims he wanted to spruce it up for better quality of life but idk about that. I always thought his OC lawsuit was dumb because his characters are interesting only within the Sonic universe which he doesn't own. Has it really benefited him much in the 13-14 years since? I preferred the Sonic Archie comics for being a weird furry drama because if it was anything like the games who would care? That's boring. Just play the games if you want that. In that scenario why wouldn't you just ignore the comics for the games.
 
This is serious literature, okay? Nothing but the best for our weird pink vape store mascot.

I love how this character went from a Terminator rip off story, to a boring tween melodrama, to being stuck in two alt timelines an finally end up in Silvers side story book where shes from a bad future that he visited by sheer accident.

As I look at this stuff again, I have to wonder: Did Ken ever mentally mature past the age of 12? This is the sort of thing I might have tried to draw between the ages of 10 and 12 when I thought that kind of edginess was the epitome of Cool.
