Sharper than a Cyber-Razor Cut! This podcast is your online guide to the Sega-sational world of the 1990's and the UK's official Sega comic: Sonic The Comic. Join the humes who think they're in charge, Dave Bulmer (a.k.a. DemonTomatoDave on YouTube) and Chris McFeely (creator of Transformers: The Basics on YouTube), as they review each issue from cover to cover, adverts and all, and explain what it was really like to grow up with Sonic The Comic as a piece of culture. Sonic Boomers (that's you, listeners) may also expect the occasional tangent about other pieces of 90's UK culture such as Wool...

Episodes

#156 - The Jingle For Paint 06.06.2025

Some thumps and bumps on the banjo this fortnight, and a couple of tearful farewells as the Nord taketh away.* But they're not taking away the podcast!

STCTP the movie THREE! - The Time-Traveling Wilburys - with Jehan! 31.05.2025

It had to happen, and it did, several months ago. Now it's been turned into an episode! Yes: Jehan joined us for another round-table natter about the third Sonic movie, and a very pleasant natter it was too. Here it is!

#155 - A Certain Understanding of What Happens in the Torso Area 23.05.2025

Here's a band of boys you can really enjoy! Dave mistakes Macaulay Culkin for himself, the rat has a name, everybody waits by the phone and a meet Judge...... just judge. Yoww baybeh! Wishes what we like!

#154 - A Preponderance of Jim Cummings 09.05.2025

They made a vow their comic would be sound, so here's another podcast about it. Sonic proves he's faster than a man's fingers, Action Man hasn't got any fans, we hear Plato's Allegory of the Funkopop, and Chris reads Dave's day-one Underground review

#153 - The Pretention of Coolness - with Mark Hughes (@thesketchsector.bsky.social) 25.04.2025

Where does Sonic keep his ear muffs? What's more annoying than Doop?* When is it wrong for Sonic to rescue children? Join a professional Sonic artist, a socks fiend, and Chris, and drop dead! I mean - find out! *(It's Doop again)

#152 - Pulsing Dog Parcels 11.04.2025

You know what we've been telling you happened to UK comics after STC? We get a couple of disturbing glimpses of it this issue. Bags of tat, three poundsworth of hail Marys, and what happened to Dave when Jasper Carrott came on.

#151 - Cuddling La Vida Loca 28.03.2025

It's a lovely day, and you know what that means (you soon will, anyway), it's time to grab your etheric beam locators and enjoy another STCTP! We've got the return of Robotnik, the end (whew!) of Sonic & Tekno, a polar bear, da wurx!

#150 - The Lowest Form of Cake 14.03.2025

Cool, a worm! Time for a fun, safe and LEGAL time in our *150th* episode of this NONSENSE. And what a party STC have thrown to celebrate! I'm sorry, I'll read that again: What party have STC thrown to celebrate? That's right boomers, NONE. Oh well!

#149 - A Longish Thin Point And A Sturdy Build - with Zak Simmonds-Hurn! (@monstrouscomics.bsky.social) 28.02.2025

Comic artist & OG Boomer Zak joins us, and he's brought a letter from 1999 written by... well, you'll find out. From one old pal to another, it's a mythic issue as we travel to Shanazar and meet the genie of the bloke's face and Amy punches the Minotaur.

#148 - It's Worse Than I Thought, It's Epic 14.02.2025

Why is this the whole comic's weirdest opening strip? How do you make a citizen's arrest? How do you disappear flour? What is a deeper way to hate? What are the drawings of Super Sonic drawings of? Are YOUR oranges gay? Who should sleep in an alley?

#147 - Percy-Having - with Tom McGrath 31.01.2025

How far is it to Scotland, and what do they do there? How sinister is British meat? How crunchy do you like your orange juice? What is the latest in, and opposite of, sex? Also why doesn't Super Sonic destroy Mobius? Join us for some Big Beats once again.

#146 - Oi Luv Custerd Oi Do 17.01.2025

Welcome to the Big Ride, Boomers! WHAT is Sonic doing in France? HOW do you get a Big Egg? WOULD you walk around in a custard T-shirt? Well cosh me with a black pudding, it's time to have a fern nernty-nern! .....*sigh* just, we read another STC ok?

#145 - The Equivalent of Sticklebricks - with Jack Lawrence 03.01.2025

It's Christmas 1998, and what did you get? We got IDW artist (and personal Windsor bodyguard) Jack. Chris guesses correctly, gets computerised and throws videos in the bin, and we all have our development arrested. Also, who made this issue? Who knows!

#144 - To Stop The Sausage Rolls 20.12.2024

Who is worthy to break the Seven Seals and open this issue of Sonic the Comic? Who cares!? And it's come to this: the inevitable Garlic Bread conversation and Leygo argument. Also, the Sonic comic is still going on! If that interests you!

#143 - The Old "Robins and the Reindeer" Conversation 06.12.2024

Can you imagine an evil version of Kintobor? What goes down in this issue? What does Dave go down in the diary? How did He-Man melt? What's Life? What's So-Called Life?? And what friends will unexpectedly appear to say hi? Find out! With listening!!

#142 - Milk Bottles with Airs and Graces 22.11.2024

Crash! Bang! There goes another one! That's right, it's gunfire season and plot this episode with the art surprising us in multiple ways, an All-New advert, and insight into what dads shouldn't watch and what sort of computers they have in Heaven

#141 - Everbody Has To Pile In, And @%#! off! 08.11.2024

This episode stops existing at midnight, so hurry! We have multiple stupid arguments this episode, perhaps because we're cross about the Ctrl Zn being gone. There are two awooga moments, and only one involves an army general's top getting ripped.

#140 - The Most Unkindest Cut Of All 25.10.2024

Welcome to the saltiest episode of STCTP yet, in which we become noodle-armed and squiggle-bent about the loss of two important chambers of the beating heart of STC to nefarious drone-punchers. PLUS! @SubsonicSparkIe reads STC's Sonic CD adaptation!

#139 - The Most Famous Warthog of the 1990s 11.10.2024

Knuckles Metallix drawn by Bob & Dobbyn, what else do you want? How about hoop ignorance? A breaded Man shape? A topic so serious that we probably shouldn't have covered it except STC and the format of the podcast forced our hand? You get all that!

#138 - A Simple Question of Biff 27.09.2024

Dave fails to turn pages or edit out the ding-dongs as we learn Root's secret and wave goodbye to an important old friend. Sort of.

#137 - Frontload the Grumpery 13.09.2024

Spice up your cheese! Would you like to do that? Well now you can, as the Spice Girls launch the career of Cheetah the Cheetah the Cheetah. ALSO: We recontextualise "Tuesday" and collect our GCSEs, and worlds converge as me & Chris' memories sync up.

#136 - Tall The Gentleman 31.08.2024

In which we do not go on a tangent at the start. Straight in, we are. Sonic's fighting Putties, Knuckles can fly but not fly, Mulder misses the action, you can't even handle toffee any more and Diary Dave gets a new obsession... but will you join him??

#135 - Pachinko the Wombat 31.08.2024

Imagine you were obsessed with introducing a popular American product to the UK, but the problem was that we already have it, and love it, just by a different name. What do you do? The answer will surprise you this issue as we find out all about Cheetos.

#134 - The Agony of Being Sonic 11.08.2024

WE'RE BACK! Why were we away? Because Dave moved house and also his PC died. But we're back! Or, if you're listening later than initial release, we're still here and it's normal! This episode: Dinosaur! Queer rep! Gormenghast! Good Amiga tunes!

#133 - Bobby Wobby 28.06.2024

Goalll! Off siiide! It's a football special! And actually it's fine and we don't mind. What's the best ice cream? Did you ever LOSE a pound coin? And as the reprints begin, we use them as time-wormholes in a coo-el new feature from Spanky!
