Official Solicitation

Inker: Harvey Mercadoocasio

Sonic returns to Knothole from a patrol to find the place almost deserted… it turns out that everybody is laid up with a microbionic infection introduced into their food supply by Robotnik! Since he apparently placed the bugs in an order of take-out fries, everyone has contacted "The French Frirus". Rotor hangs in to give Sonic a few details before passing out… using the shrink ray left over from "Lizard of Odd" (Sonic #4), Sonic gives himself the treatment as he travels down Rotor’s gullet until he meets… Rotor’s "Auntie Body" who tells Sonic she’s given up fighting against the French Frirus. Not willing to take this lying down, Sonic continues on only to find The French Foreign Lesions. But after Sonic spins past them, he encounters the beret-wearing, "Paris-site" and Fever The Animate Flame…
