Happy birthday Boomers! It's the anniversary of the release of STC, so here's its first mention, and elaborate contextual build-up, from the current draft of the Big Book of Bulmer Bollocks, in which we examine why the UK was ready for a comic like this.

In which Knuckles is pink, young Dave dawdles towards destiny, Timothy gets his own parade, and inspiration hits.

Denton is here for the episode where Knuckles decides he has nothing left to live for and Amy knocks him out with a crowbar. I'm not even going to bother typing any more description. It's a silly one.

We see Sonic's bedroom for the first (and last) time! Are space more blokes than pirates? Are After Eights mints? Plus one of the funnier Diary Zones we've had.

Everybody stop being silly, it's a very serious episode of STC. WHO is an armless, boneless, chickenless BIG EGG? And who is our guest this fortnight (it's the bloke who led the fan continuation of STC after it died!) Plus some other daft stuff.

The first part of STC's epic finale begins this episode, so we're feeling all beginning-of-the-end-ey. So a string of guests begins this fortnight, starting with the creator of the POUND COIN animation. Any editing errors are because my computer explode

We wave fond goodbye to Lew Stringer this episode. Then we get all silly in the back half. You don't want your back half to get too silly but sometimes it just goes off on its own.

Lew Stringer begins his final bow, and what a bow it is! Plus! Dave finally liberates a Squirtle, we all replace our Fresh Prince Fact File collection with the Fresh Prince wiki, Sonic's worst game comes out, and Diggle DELIVERS!

New Millennium, new world... new STC? The drama is back and we're in a good mood. There's a sincere chance that STCTP's whinge-phase might be over. That's all I can be bothered to write!

It's the end of days and the start of days. From now on, this is not a 90s podcast, and it is not the 90s. Join Teen-Dave at the Big Y2K Bash, and adult Dave and Chris at the old men sitting around reading children's comics ward.
