Happy new year, Boomers! But before we launch into a BIG 1995, there's a bit of 1994 spin-off content that we skipped in order to do it as a special, and here it is. The LAST of the Poster Mags. Enter: Nigel Dobbyn!

It's the end of 1994! Robotnik gets his own strip and it's Knuckles vs Literally the Marx Bros in this second bumper-sized Christmas issue! Plus appearances from a very special surprise guest to mark the occasion. Merry Christmas, Boomers!

STC fan Martin Billany (he also makes Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged) joins us for a BUMPER Christmas issue this fortnight, and we chat on about our Sonic memories together. Mega CD lusting,Tomorrow's World 3D Stereo, a big Xmas quiz, and strips for Megadroid & Amy!

Sonic hopes for T-shirt weather, the Eternal Champions bow out, Gary Gygax fails to create an RPG, Tweety's identity is contested, the True Identity of the Red Ranger is revealed, and we find out the secret origin of Mobius Eggs. Plus! A weird Speedlines!

What's the most disgusting thing you can do with a chip? Why was there a Rambo cartoon? What do football fans famously talk like? We flat-out reject a Sonic strip. AND KNUCKLES!

It's Halloween! And it's Bonfire Night! So we bend our sparklers and start whanging them around, especially when we get to the Frosties competition. Plus: Sonic is good, and TAILS is good?? (Marked E, but still not very explicit.)

Feeliman and Bulmamuffin are in the house, Zig and Zag sty-lee, here to talk about The Den, and rattle off references to Dragon's Eye, T-Bag and all that old people stuff. ALSO: a really really good Sonic strip and some READERS' LEGO!

Robotnik finally captures the Chaos Emeralds in the finale of the Sonic 3 adaptation! But why are they so unstable? How many Space Aliens are there? What is Sonic the Comic called?? Find out in STCTP(tm), "It's even more exciting than a sudden willy!"

Would you let Porker Lewis perform brain surgery on you? Are you a Girl With Kitten or a Biker Figure? Join the only philosophy group you need as we discuss lines cut from Hook and who isn't in The Pagemaster. #knuckleswaspink

Knuckles fights Sonic, Dave gets closure on a teenage mortification, the Chuckle Brothers look for droids, and we talk about our sticker-collecting days as STC provides us with not one, not two, but four free sticker albums (by mistake).
