Edited my post since I regret making such an inappropriate joke.

Try googling 'Knux'. No Pic. Exactly.

I think in all seriousness he needs to ditch the Sonic comic/fan-fics entirely. Throw it all in the garbage. Shred it with the shredding machine. Start over fresh. Turn a new leaf.

He needs to create a new idea. Ditch the Too Anthro, weird ass old lady/man Furry look and stick with the 4-legged all paws on the ground, or even have him do both, stand on his/her hindquarters for some parts and then walk etc with his four paws, good old Disney-like furries we all know and love and create a story and universe from there. Heck, make the main character a cute fox or whatever species and make him/her go on adventures. Make him a person that was suppositvely 'abandoned' as a young cub and is looking to find himself in the big world and explore.

That stuff will make him succesful. Make it an online comic for starters, and then Kickstart it, and sell it also on digital copy as well.

Before he starts creating/drawing, he needs to get some professional art lessons and start organizing himself because the dude's in a mess.

Stop trying to revive a 'what if' scenario and making a failed continuity of something that's entirely out of your hands, and something you won't win legally.

If this guy manages to listen to reason, and stop these feeble attempts of a sorry excuse of a 'revival' from an old project, and start focusing on NEW and ORIGINAL ideas while ditching controversial stuff like adding a holocaust poem called "First they came" on one of the Echidna characters as a line, and using personalities and references from outdated TV shows, and stop sucking, then maybe, MAYBE, he will have a fine chance of putting himself in a good light.

Heck, it doesn't make much. All it takes is dedication and passion. That's it. Anyone can create fan-fics, but it takes originality to create new characters that are new and that appease to everyone, not just some Penders Faithfuls (No offense to them).

Kenders, do everyone a favour and get out of Sonic and do something original. And please don't use any ideas from the previous Sonic series. It's extinct, in the past, lost in the void of space and picked up by a competent writer. Learn from your mistakes and don't fall into traps, and especially don't overcomplicate things. The best writings are the simple ones, the ones that are on point. A foundation that people understand is much better than a complex personality with more questions than answers.

/In before some butthurt Ken Penders/Pen Kenders fans get butthurt and start typing stupid replies to a logical, rational post

Am I the only one who found it hilarious that he does all this crap to legally"distance" himself from Archie and Sega, and then turns around and says "First appearance STH #106! COME AND READ THIS, SONIC FANS!"

It's funny because the only people who'd EVER be interested in this are Sonic fans, and he can;t legally use any Sonic material so he has to try and skirt along the edge, and sounds like an utter pillock doing this, with his K'Nex, his E'c'h'y'd'n'as and w'h'a't'e'v'e'r e'l's'e h'e I's o'n a'b'o'u't.

"can;t"

Going against the typical Ken Penders grain of apostrophes, I see. I approve.

Actually that one's more a muscle memory habit. I usually correct it, missed that one. =P

Vacx the Crocodile, Chermie the Frog Bee, Isspeo the Charmeleon.

Sawnic the Porkupine with Sale-Lee the Fruitbat and Talis the Talisman, Anthro Fox on steroids.

Evil Elephantic Egocentric Enigma, or EEEE/Tusky Elephant Baron instead of Mammoth Mogul?
An evil genius said to exceed the skills of his descentant, and a genius dictator but a madman who traded power and knowledge for sanity. He never forgets, yet he's a narcistic evil magician who can summon peanuts out of his trunk. EVIL Peanuts. He's Nuts. He's gotten out of his Shell and ready to Roast open some plans.

His great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great to the power of 10 Grampa is Mammoth Mogul, but he got jealous and sentenced him to the void via magic through some unknown poorly thought of plot hole that will never be fixed/explained until next writer, and now he finally came out of hiding to reveal his ultimate foot-stomping master plan!

Archie sucked when they got Ken. I'm glad they fired the ex-editors etc.

Call me crazy but I can't see him ever being successful on any terms. He kinda needs, I don't know, talent? No change in course is going to result in a successful venture considering he wouldn't have the skill to back it up.

What? There's such a thing as Penders faithfuls? To hell with not offending them, their existence would offend me and they should apologize.

There are a few Penders Faithfuls, but it's more Archie fans than Penders ones. If he ever left Sonic writing, they'd evaporate, and he knows it. Hence the Mary-Su Chronicles.

ITT: How to not make character bios, and why you should never post them online when you do make them.

My brain is going into "HE'S MESSING WITH US" mode turned up to 11 right now. There's no way he can be serious at this point. No, freaking, way.

I'm sorry to say but yes. People can be that fucking stupid. Such a fact hurts.

Lara-Su's wall of text backstory in her character profile brought this Onion article to mind.

Whoops, that's a typo. I agree! He's at-least a good comedian

And he's probably got like 20 fans? And even they are not sure what to think of him. They like him because he is so bad at what he's doing that it magically becomes good.

I guess he's one of the very stubborn kind of idiot that won't change despite all the truths and facts coming out. Doesn't matter how many times it hits his head, his head is too thick to get through. This man is a very 'special' type of butthead. And that's an insult to other Butt-heads.

Even a little kid would grow out of it. Unfortunately, his wife has to baby sit this idiot. Oh well, more humour value for the community.

The fans he does have just happen to like his writing and art, simple as that. I've seen crazier. Remember, Rob Liefeld's awful art was so beloved in the 90s that it practically became an industry standard for a while. And as much as many people may despise the writing of the Twilight series, it's sold incredibly well.

I don't have any problem with someone liking Ken's stuff, myself. Most of his fans I've seen are completely normal, nice people. (The big exception being FuhrerMustang / Roy Mustang / Naugus, who acts like an asshole to people when they say negative things about Ken or positive things about Ian, and says he's preparing to sue Ian for saying Naugus' race is now troll because he or his brother once trolled Ian's forum under the name Naugus. No, I'm not joking.)

The thing is, though, you're right about Ken being completely unwilling to change despite what most people say about his work. He's shown absolutely no indication of wanting to improve his writing or artistic capabilities, and instead makes excuses for every single thing people criticize, or in rare cases, half-hearted changes. (Like when he showed off the cover of TLSC, said it was the final cover, argued against every criticism people gave of it, and then a few days later offhandedly said that it really was never supposed to be the final cover and he'd already planned a few changes.)
