Since the answers are e-mail only and the competition is open for a month I'm going to sticky this thread so that it doesn't fall off of the page.

Huh. #3 is out already? I only just got #2... =p

Those are some weird questions you got there Joe. Who Mr. E. Blackadder, Esq. and friends,Dr. Oeuf-Homme?

Mr. Edkin, you may be a month early...

Sonic X #3 won't come out until at least another two weeks here.

EE

Sonic X 3 is out today, and so ill give a little summary as usual for all you kids who like your spoilers.

SPOILERS

"Field Trip of Doom"

The cover has Sonic running, with overlay images of Cream, Rogue, and Eggman. Rogue actually doesnt have anything to do with the contents, and cream just barely makes the cut of relevancy. Sonic looks weird again.

Open to page two and you'll find a nicve channeling of AoSth. The page just screams the sound and flavor of that show. i loved it. my personal favorite part of the issue.

Cheese has been kidnapped by Eggman, so sonic runs through a set of traps resembling the old-school games and frees a bunch of animals at the end. Plus Cheese. then he goes home.

Eggman is using the distractio in order to send pakages to the President and Topaz, and invitations to afiled trip to Chris and his teacher, the undercover secret-agent one. The idea being, that these humans will be harnessed to be used to run the new robots.

Eggman is again the most attractive piece of this comic, a delicious blend of genious and criminal insanity. he's ridiculous, and consistantly so, which puts him leagues above his Archie-Sonic coutnerpart. Plus, he seems to evoke the more inspired panels from Tim Smith 3.

Tim Smith 3 develops a much more consistant style this time around, unfortunately, its all rather consistantly off. we no longer have the pleasure of finding those gems in the art we did in the last two issues. also, this issue sports three inkers, which i believe was not previously the case, which may indicate a rush job on Smith's part, and why he's off the book pending one more issue.

So at the museum, where the field trip is being held, Eggman's bots attack. Sonic, Tails, and Amy are present and put up a fight, until two of Chris' friends are kidnapped and Sonic runs off to save them. in the meantime Chris and the other human targets and attched to robots, and forced to operate them, or maybe they're just trapped inside, im not too sure and we aren't explicitly told. looks more like trapped though. Sonic turns up with the kids, and Chris-bot locks his missiles on Sonic.

In a startling move, this issue is left to be continued. i hadnt expected to see multiple parters until after the initial four issues were finished, and im happy this wasnt self contained.

------------------------------------------the-Krayon

Post it in a new topic. You know, like normal.

My apologies, i figured since the title was Sonic X #3 it would more apropriately belong here.

You seemingly won't get much discussion since my issue hasn't arrived yet. I hope they deliver it before Thanksgiving. ;p

man, all you guys with the subscriptions seem to be getting them WAY after they come out. i wonder why that is, usually subs will get you them early or at least on time.

*Laughs and sighs* Alrighty. Why the heck not *answers in the most random and stupid fashion I can muster*

...why do I have the feeling that Joe is going to think of me as an insane psycho who is never to be listened to from now on...

Ah well, it was worth it *Makes a note to contact subscriptioney people and try to get Sonic X and not Archie!Sonic*

That's not the case...I've recieved my issues weeks after you guys have started debating the outcomes of certain issues...I recieved 156 on December 5th...and I live here in the states!...but this discussion is probably better suited in a different area...

I assume that entries submitted today shall be considered... since it's Wednesday, December 14 (as opposed to Monday, December 14).

I hope so... ::likes to procrastinate::

Hi, All.

The deadline for the quiz is a little spongy. As I write this, it is 10:45pm EST on Wednesday, December 14th. I am not going to determine my favorite entries until late tomorrow afternoon, so anything I receive up to the time I sit down to pull everything together will be considered. I'm guesstimating that I'll be making my selections around 4pm EST on Thursday, Dec. 15th.

Cheers,
Joe Edkin

All right! It's 4:15 EST right now, and I'm excited! (Will I win?)

Congratulations to the going-to-be winners!

Joe, I hope you will do another quiz sometime!

EE

Greetings, all.

I have downloaded the responses to the quiz and will be reviewing them today, so I am no longer accepting any entries. I got a little slowed down by having to dig out from the recent snowstorm, so I'm hoping to announce the recipients of the signed Sonuic X #1 comics later today, and certainly no later than over the weekend. Keep watching and thanks for your patience!

--Joe Edkin

Ah, this is definitely off topic, but did you notice that Joe Edkin's rank is "Sniper JOE"?

Nope, hadn't noticed it... that is kinda funny ^_^

It (or something else) could be made into a permanent rank if he ever wanted one. 😉

Well, hey, it's not like that's the only Joe around. Sniper Joe, Hammer Joe, Crystal Joe, Viewtiful Joe...

Of course, if he DOES become a Sniper Joe, then Lord help him if he decides to jump, shoot, or toss a grenade...

Well, maybe "misinformed" is a better word, but I had a good reason!

I thought I'd get to the quiz responses over the weekned, but instead wound up finishing the script for Sonic X #11. Now that that's out of the way, I really can get to work on the responses. I aplogogize for the delay.

More soon...!

--Joe Edkin

Greetings, all.

I have selected the recipients of the signed copies of Sonic X #1. The individuals marked below with a "passing grade" will receive a signed comic. Here are the responses I chose with Dr. Eggman's comments.

And with this post, I lose my "Sniper Joe" designation. Oh well.

Cheers,

Joe Edkin

Passing Grade--Tyler's responses:

1) Probably some alien dude in a far off planet. You never know for sure.

This answer is enough to make me think that reprogramming is definitely in order. Unfortunately, gas prices being what they are, I can't be bothered to track you down all the way in whatever state it is you live, so I'm counting on your to reprogram yourself. The only correct answer to this question is "I" -- no, not you! "I, as in Dr. Eggman!"

2) Money, cash, moolah, dough, cha-ching, green, etc.

I would also have accepted deniro and simolians (and will gladly accept them now, if you wish to send them to me).

3) God.

*Ahem* Well, that's the kind of answer that even megalomaniacs (not that I'm saying that *I* am a megalomaniac because I'm so not) have trouble debating. However, given my superior intellect, it's only right that I become the emperor of the known universe should God be too busy to take on the job.

4) Comodos, yo

Haven't you heard? You need a dictionary to read about my adventures. Check in it for the correct spelling of Kim... Comodes... Komi... Oh, never mind!

5) Big 'uns

If you consider that pesky brat Chris "big", then you must be a very small human indeed.

6) Well, Dr. Eggman, i guess. But even though his plans are cunning, they arent followed out very well, or very effective.

That's it! No figgy pudding for you! I'm seriously considering stealing some more mintage and coming to your state to smash in the roof of your house! Unfortunately my plan fell apart when Bokkun came back with Tic Tacs instead of the bread I needed. Hmmmm... now I want a sandwich.

Figgy pudding? Where's the figgy pudding? I want figgy pudding!

Go away, Bokkun.

7) I'm gonna say....Bokkun; who else does Eggman have deliver his junk?

Junk? JUNK! You are a very rude human!

8) Because we need something to put on our toast!

Except that Bokkun just finished the last slice of bread. Now I can't even have the sandwich I wanted!

9) Not me. I'm human. HA!

Yeah? Really? What do you call that silly public school system you grew up in? If that isn't programming, I don't know what is! So HA! right back at you! Plus a "nyah!"

10) Some German dude

Must be he had a French mother. Wait! I'm Dr. Oeuf-Homme. I'm the one who sent the fruit basket to Mr. Stewart! How else could I lure him into my brilliant trap?

Essay question: As many hedges as a hedgehog could hog if a hedgehog could hog hedges.

Pesky hedgehogs.

Passing Grade--Cyrus's responses:

1) Jesus. He invented love.... I think.

Well, I was thinking of a non-diety, living inventor, but I suppose I'll have to give you credit for this answer.

2) I believe they are called I.O.Us.

Hey! I never thought of that! I'll have to zip down to the Hardware Depot and try that out! It'll save on rotten cabbages.

3) Joe Edkin, for giving me an autographed issue of Sonic X... hopefully.

Who is this "Joe Edkin" of whom you speak? He sounds like a pretentious, long-winded bum to me!

4) Stupid animals who fail at everything in life just like they failed to pilot the Dragonbots to victory.

Kid, you have a bright future in the lucrative field of megalomania. You'd better watch your step, or I'll have to crush you!

5) I dunno, probably the same old ones you always use, like rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, flickies.... or maybe you'll get original and use different animals for once.

Was that a slam? It sounded like a slam to me!

6) Michael Jackson, and don't deny it.

Michael Jackson scares me. You are not to mention his name in my presence!

7) Once again, Michael Jackson. It was part of his cunning plan.

What did I just tell you about mentioning *that* name in my presence? Don't make me come over there!

8) Because there's a distinct possibility that they might try to put that jam on the market and if we bought it and ate we could become sterile.

Guess I'd better let Bokkun have that jam.

Yaaay!

It was just an example. There's no real jam here, Bokkun.

Awwww, shucks!

9) Nobody, I won't allow it.

I beg your pardon! And how exactly do *you* intend to stop me?

10) I don't know, but it doesn't sound kosher. Is he a friend of yours perhaps?

I'd say he's my best friend.

Essay question: As many as he darned well pleases. We really shouldn't put a limit to how many hedges a hedgehog can hog, every hedgehog should be permmitted to hog as many hedges as he or she likes. I mean, what's the point of having hedges if nobody will hog them? The answer is that there is no point to having hedges without a hogger. It's the circle of life. Hedgehogs hog hedges, new hedges are born, and life goes on. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

Pesky hedgehogs.

Passing Grade--Ethan Responds

1) Eggman, you seem to think that it's you! -Laughs- You should know; it's TOASTED BREAD!

Blast! Now I'm thinking about sandwiches again.

2) Eh? This? -Stuffs in pocket and runs-

Wait! Come back!

3) Ehem, see question number one! Me and my TOASTED BREAD, of course!

You? YOU?! Why I oughtta...

4) Those cute Komodo Dragons!

Cute? Compared to what?

5) Homosapiens, you wish!

Wish? Didn't you read issue four? Just cuz that blasted Chris overcame my control doesn't mean that I didn't succeed in putting the humans into my bots!

6) Me, and my TOASTED BREAD, duh!

Come a little closer, kid--I'll toast you!

7) Bokkun, before he was captured by angsty birds in mating season.

Yeah, but they sure did taste like chicken.

8) Ehm, you're the one that's rubbing your big growling stomach!

It's a medical condition, I tell you!

9) Uh oh... I'd better run!

That's right! You'd better. Uh, but not that fast. I can't keep up. Medical condition, you know.

10) That's an easy one. He's the leader of the illegal immigration support act! -Twitches- I tell you, CHAO will take over, soon!

Hey! Who gave you issue five?

Essay question: He'd hog as much hedges as a hedgehog could if a hedgehog could hog hedges. Wait, that didn't answer the question. Ehm, let's try... uh, Belle-Tire? I'd better head for the hills!

Pesky hedgehogs.

Passing grade--Tom replies:

1) Psh. Robotnik, duh. Oh, wait. I mean Eggman. Er.... will I be penalaized for that?

That and your terrible spelling!

2) Er, Vouchers?

Is that like an I.O.U.?

3) Mike Pellerito, obviously.

Obviously not. No one is better qualified than I!

4) Well, that depends on the scope of the question. You could say the Komodo dragons, but you could also say the Bunnies, Duckies, Ratsies, Slothsies, Pottos and Okapis failed, if only becuase they weren't given the opportinity to try. There's an inspirational motivation lesson there.

You're babbling. Stop babbling. That's my job.

5) ::shaves head, puts on sunglasses:: The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTU's of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion the machines have found all the energy they would ever need.

You're still babbling and now you're folliclely challenged.

6) Well, Doctor Eggman's plans are quite cunning, but he's madder than Mad Jack McMad, winner of last year's Mr. Madman competition.

But at least I know better than to eat Mrs. Miggin's Meat Pies!

7) Santa Claus! Er... Bokkun.

Hmmmm... Santa Claus? That gives me an idea...*

(*Actually, I already had that idea. See issue #12, coming out December 2006. --Joe Edkin)

8) Because with the remainder, they can make juice! As in "gotta juice," which SatAM Sonic always says! Get it? hahahaha oh never mind.

I never watched that show.

9) Err... Many Hands?

But I'd have to know who they were. I'll have to settle for Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun. And maybe you, if you move a little closer to your monitor...

10) Le meilleur gnie sur terre, qui fait les meilleurs robots avec de grandes conceptions.

Mais oui!

Essay question: Forty-Two.

This must be a definition of humor with I was previously unfamiliar. Pesky hedgehogs.

Passing grade--Rich's responses:

1. Dr. Eggman (^_^ the baddest villain that ever lived)

That's right. I'm bad. I'm bad. (And *not* in the Michael Jackson way.)

2. hmm, "mail".

Huh?

3. Hopefully not Metal overlord.

Definitely not.

4. uhh, rabbits

We're you paying attention in issue 2? Sheesh. It was Kim... Commodore... Komid... Oh, never mind.

5. propably insects, and more rodents.

Sigh. You really weren't paying attention, were you? Pesky humans. (Meaning you, but "humans" was also the answer to this question.)

6. Dr. Eggman.

Well, finally, you're catching on.

7. probably Eggman

Okay, so I was wrong. You're not even close here.

8. It doesnt matter because eggman would just eat it all!!

Heh heh. I told you. Medical condition.

9. propably me..>_<

I'm very tempted. Just move a little closer to your computer monitor...

10. (no comment.)

What? Maybe you need to eat some more Freedom Fries.

Essay question: A hedgehog could hedge a hog a hog if a hedge could hedge a hog.

Pesky hedgehogs.

Honorable mention--Craig's responses:

1) DR GERALD ROBOTNIK! THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MIND ON THE PLANET and my Grandfather! but did he REALLY mean to DESTROY us ALL?!?!?! (I don't
know but WE DID IT TOGETHER!!!!!1111)

Ummm--are you crazy? You're not me. I'm me. And stop pretending you're me or I'll have to conquer your neighborhood!

2) MONEY! It's a gas! Grab that cash with both hands and MAKE A STASH but get your hands off of MY stack, JACK!

When I am ruler of this pathetic planet, then all its money shall be mine and you won't have a stash. So there!

3) That big round egg thingey... what was his name? Homer Simpson!

What is a "Homer Simpson" and where do I find him? There's room for only one emperor of all the known galaxies, and if God doesn't want the job, then it is mine. Mine, I tell you! Ha ha ha ha ha!

4) Those damned dirty apes, they destroyed it all! DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!!!!

Actually, there were Kim... Com... Kumo... Oh, they were big lizards and you know it!

5) Yogi Bears. They're like bears, but SMARTER than the average one... Hey, Eggy! They stole your Pic-a-nik basket!

Picnic basket? Whay wasn't I told about this picnic basket! I want a pic---

Bokkun, get out of here!

But I love picnics!

BOKKUN!

6) Sod Off Baldrick! 😀 if you count HIM as Edmund's friend then you're just delluded.

Yeah, but even he is more effective that Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun. And he smells better too.

7) THE EASTER BUNNY!!!! 😀

I wish I'd thought of that. At least the Easter Bunny wouldn't eat all my candy the way Bokkun does.

8) Because GUN has their best men on the job!

P-shaw! If you think Captain Westwood, Agent Topaz, or Agent Stewart are a match for my brilliance, then you deserve to share a turnip with Baldrick!

9) Bokkun? Please say Bokkun! Bokkun needs to learn to keep Bokkun's mouth shut if Bokkun knows what's good for him!

Did you hear that, Bokkun? This lad's on the right track, even if he is human.

10) That smelly French dictator who went to Russia and kicked the crap out of Robot Slave. GO FRENCHY! VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

Um, yeah. Right. That was me.

Essay question: Ah, you see, this is a trick question. If a pig and a hedgehog were to go toe to toe than surely the hedge would grow arms and thistle whip them both into submission, so that neither one of them could do anything until the thorns had died and then MOTHER NATURE would rue the day she ever messed with super sonic hedgehogs, because using the impressive vibration speed the hog's bones would be jellified and the hedge would be hedged and hogged at the same time while the hedgehog remains a hedgehog and the hedge is reduced to mere soil and the hog becomes dinner. A very nice dinner I had with potatoes and cabbage.The moral of the story is that it doesn't matter in the end. It was the most I ever threw up.

Pesky hedgehogs.

Honorable mention. This individual chose not to provide his or her address. Probably was afraid I'd build a giant robot and stomp their house or something. (They were right.)

1) Dr. Eggman. He can't be BEAT *shot by pun haters*

I don't get it.

2) Money! Cash! Dinero! MONEEEEEEYYYY!!!

Filthy lucre, the root of all evil, mazuma, bucks, wampum, gelt, *sigh* I could talk about this for hours...

3) Dr. Eggman shall RULE YOU ALL!!

Now that's what I consider a sensible attitude.

4) Komodo Dragons. They uhhhh... breathe fire..... I think..... yeah.... no.

And they make toast. Mmmmmmm. Toast.

5) Humans Beings (See I told ya! Dr. Eggman will rule us all! He's already starting! RUNNNNN!!)

Wait! Come back! I need a few more since Chris, Topaz, Mr. Stewart, Sam, and the President messed up my last plan.

6) Dr. Eggman because I don't know who the others are.

They're just some useless gits.

7) BOKKUN!!!!!! THE COOLEST OF THE EGGMAN TEAM (BESIDES EGGMAN THAT IS!!!!)....... APPLE PIE!!!!!

Pie? Did I hear someone mention pie?

Bokkun, there's no pie here. Go away. I'm busy.

8) Uhhhh....... we don't care. My brain hurts. Thanks a lot Dr..... AHHH I DIDN'T MEAN IT! I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!!

And don't you forget it.

9) Decoe and Bocoe... heh heh heh...

And you, if you don't show proper respect as evidenced in the previous exchange.

10) Dr. Eggman in le parlez vous francis!

Charmant!

Essay question: A hedgehog would hog as much hedges as a hodgehog could hog if a hedgehog could hog hedges. Beat that! =P

Pesky hedgehogs.

Excellent! I'm a winner! Congratulations, TYLER, CYRUS, TOM, RICH, and CRAIG!

I loved the quiz! I hope you have another, next Christmas!

By the way, I loved your responses to our answers!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ethan, EE

Thank you muchly, Joe, and congratulations to the other winners!

By the way, Joe, when you mail them out, could you add the suffix "Jr" to the end of my name? My dad and I have the same name, which causes confusion with the mail.

- Dirk "TOM" Amoeba

EDIT: It came today, on Christmas Eve. Thanks a million, Joe!
