Line #95 Webcomic/SonicAndPals


1	''[[https://www.sonicandpals.com/ Sonic and Pals]]'' is a SpriteComic by Trevor Fayas parodying the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series. At it's most basic level, it is ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' on steroids. Steroids made of Sonic.
2
3	It is most notable because of the fact that it started in 2003 and has been updated with a new comic ''nearly'' every day since January 2004 and has thus become the longest-running ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' SpriteComic on the web. [[SmallNameBigEgo (Which isn't saying much.)]]
4
5	The comic has many storylines from the characters playing through ''Sonic'' games, to ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}''-esque plots, to [[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} adaptions of Shakespeare's plays]], to Demon hunting spacemen. It has been concluded as of June 19th, 2011, over seven years after it began.

58	%% * JediMindTrick: The Author uses these to maintain the audiences' WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief by making them forget Plot Holes.
59	%% * {{Jerkass}}: The Author (In-universe). He's an egotistical douche who tortures the other characters ForTheLulz and gets all sulky when TheDogBitesBack.

65	%% * MundaneSolution: [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=09052007 Here]].
66	%% * {{Punchline}}: [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=08242007 Literally]].
67	%% * Lampshaded [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=04252008 here]].
68	%% * NakedFirstImpression: As barely any Sonic characters wear clothes, it gets lampshaded [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=04202008 here]].
69	%% * NighInvulnerable: Mephilles and Emerl.
70	%% * OneSteveLimit: Subverted because of the sheer number of people/things named [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=06022008 Chaos]].

82	%% * SoapOpera: Amy loves these. [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=09182007 Horus doesn't]].
83	* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Subverted. The villains start off with the rather incompetent [[EvilGenius Eggman]], then lead to the slightly more incompetent Master Nate, Then played straight with Mephilles, the Chaos Demons and [[spoiler: Metal Robotnik]]. And finally Neo Mephiles.
84	%% * Of course, we still run into loonies like Dark Hamsterlord.

98	%% * NoFourthWall: Broken continually along with [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=05282007 The theoretical fifth wall]], which [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=05302007 governs the webcomic's laws]].
99	%% * OminousFloatingCastle: [[http://www.sonicandpals.com/archive.php?d=07022007 The Demon Hamster Lord's castle]]. Though the whole Pink hamster wheel thing does kill off the whole "Ominous" Vibe.
100	%% * PsychicPowers: Trey, Selestial and Kristy.
