Platypi don't have pointy ears. Just holes.
And animals don't walk on 2 feet and talk, your point?
Lol why bother bringing up anatomical errors in a Sonic Comic.
I dunno. Because like an idiot I'm proud of my country and it's fauna?
Of course, we could always stick a bald eagle in the series with pig snout instead of a beak.
Or a fox with two tails!
Well, yeah........ Maybe. But that was done on purpose, so that Sonic's side kick would have the power of flight or something.
It's not so much that they may or may not be some sort of mutant, but more along the lines of someone drawing a dolphin with gills. You have this urge to lecture them on how dolphins aren't fish. Or a drawing of a baby butterfly........ when butterflies start off as caterpillars.
And Walt, the male wallaby, has a pouch. Keep in mind that the artist who designed these characters did so over ten years ago, though, so it's a little late to say these guys are weird. =P

Was thinking about bringing that up. But if I was going to nitpick that, I mihgt as well nitpick other cartoon kangaroos from my childhood. Which I do, but not without the following head bashing against the wall.

I know.
A fun close to an okay arc. I liked the fight at the end, though both sides saying their own version of the chaos prayer was somewhat corny.
The arc as a whole felt like it took too long to really get in gear, but it was enjoyable in retrospect, serving not as a super-mega-huge arc but a set up for many super-mega-huge arcs down the line.
Man, I love Dr. F. Great villain. Liked his "Let's see what happens when I close it halfway around you." line. His plea for Knuckles to join him seemed almost sincere.
Off-panels were good too.
Thrash has sonic boom voice. I cried in disappointment at how they made Thrash a psuedo-replacement for Vec on Downunda.
And what is up, were they all adopted kids?
