I'm sure you will find articles about this shit if you googled it.

>>>google

Ken Panders was a Sonic writer for Archie's series, and made a huge stink that his OC characters were not under his ownership, so he sued the company for he characters he made, which soured Sega so much that they ended Archie's Sonic because of his faggotry.

...

Okay, I gotta see number 19. There's no way Penders pulled all of this shit out of his own autistic desire to draw tickle porn.

This is missing the time when Penders pitched his own concept for a SatAM movie while someone else was working on a pitch and wound up screwing over that deal.

We can tell you who he is, but not why he's drawing anything at comic con.

...

Sweet Jesus, I've seen damn near everything now.

Why is this real?

kek what

Trump is the greatest thing to happen to the internet. Opposing him, rather than support or not giving a fuck, is the brightest red flag you can ask for.

The fuck

Oh my God. Nothing about this pic can be real. Someone shopped that sketch in instead of what he really posted...right?

please stop being stupid and justify his shitty political corruption just for the memes

Penders is the best accident ever born. I have gotten so much joy out of him being a weirdo.

Well I mean it was a request.

>Frieza will never blow up Sanic's planet

>I know he's corrupt because CNN said so

>tfw ken is still better than you
It never gets easier

but it's funny and the ripple effect from large policy changes down to my life on an individual level is minimal in the short-term. I won't feel any of the bad effects of deregulation for decades.

No, user. He was working with SATAM's creator on a pitch. But then he took half-cooked script and showed it to big wigs. And they went 'WTF?!' and stopped communicating with both of them. You can find this story on Hurst's old blog. He blamed Penders.

Holy shit that's a horrifying drawing

God have mercy on us all. It's like Chris-Chan and Dobson had a baby and that baby got famous and landed his dream job before shitting all over it.

>when Chris Chan draws Sonic better than you

It wasn't really his dream job though. He never played the Sonic games, so his only interaction with the series were the comics that he worked on.
His dream was to work in comics, but he had his own ideas for a series that nobody ever wanted. He got stuck tracing photos for Star Trek comics first, then wound up at Archie writing and eventually drawing for Sonic. It was only when he realized he could shove in all of his stupid concepts for his own stupid comic that it became his dream job.

...

Even if it's a hard reboot, I hope that they won't can the Freedom Fighters characters. They rightly belong to SEGA so it shouldn't be out of the question. Guess we'll have to wait and find out how everything goes.

>Nothing bad is going to happen to me specifically so I shouldn't be concerned

Actually, I have a better question. If he was actually at comicon this year, shouldn't *somebody* have tried to kick his ass or harass him for killing the sonic comic?

...

it still surprises me that a legendary autist hasn't tried to jump him at a comicon or something.

just imagine the headlines
>Comicon attendees shocked and stunned as internet legend ChrisChan and infamous comic artist/writer/asshole Ken Penders start fighting
>ends with Ken taking Chris to court claiming ownership of Sonichu

>if I use a search engine I'll die
ok but what's the downside here

There are many tyoes of autism in the world.

Docile autism.
Weird autism.
Pseudo autism.

But Penders is dangerous because he has violent autism.

...

I don't think so. I dislike him but I'm not okay with abuse like that. The Sonic fandom has a reputation for insane fans who keep sperging out over stupid shit, so I'm a little surprised if people at SDCC didn't bother him for fucking up the comic. Still, it's nice if people can behave themselves and just ignore the guy.

What is it the kids say? "shots fired"?

>Ken taking Chris to court claiming ownership of Sonichu
Sonichu is a Pikachu-hedgehog Pokémon, not a Pikachu-echidna Pokémon.

Chris doesn't read comic books. He chose that medium because he is incapable of expressing emotions on paper if isn't drawn. He doesn't really care much about the Archie lore either. To him the games are the real lore.

Its all about the OC. Ruining an entire comic thats been in production for years just because you think you own the rights to an off colored version of one of the main cast is hilarious. That shit sells which still amazes me. Sonic OCs are incredibly easy to draw and can be outfitted with all kinds of small gadgets or gimmicks. I think that is why this new Sonic game will sell so well also. Its that stupid character creator that will make it a hit.

As long as Ken stays away from Electric evolving Sonic OCs that have families who's children number into the tens then we got a fight on our hands.

He was at some Sonic convention last year (where he met the head of Sonic Team for the first time) and he didn't get his ass kicked, and there was definitely a higher concentration of people who hate him there.

Why are all the people that are so aggressively hateful towards Trump the biggest freaks? I've seen Trump supporters say dumb shit but not to this level.

this misses the part where the original reason Pender got mad was the bad gus in Sonic Chronicles: the Dark Brotherhood were superficially similar to his. so he tried to sue Sega over it and they got the lawsuit thrown out, because surprise surprise "that thingthey made is kinda like something i made" ist as good basis for a lawsuit.
so he turned his guns of archie

>hitting on CWC
I see Silvana Rosechu gave Black Sonichu a taste for poisonous panty pickles.

Somebody needs to teach Penders how planes and values work, Jesus Christ.

>Somewhere in the world there exists a life-size cardboard cutout of that CGI abomination cyborg fetish echidna character he created
>Some poor motherfucker had to print and cut that thing out, then deliver it to him

What a time to be alive.

Link plz

why is he so angry in that pic?

Don't forget the fact that Archie lost the lawsuit because they were missing a document which Penders had access to and he could've been as well the one who disposed "lost" it.

>muh poltard dogma

Are you having a stroke

He's not angry, he's excited. He's meeting Takashi Iizuka in that picture.

Because "Trump Bad! Me do whatever I want!"

I find this sketch disturbing. It looks like he has goggles underneath his skin/eyelids.

It never ceases to amaze me at just how awful some people can be at drawing Sonic. Like somehow he's gotten worse.

Is there some kind of reason why the Sonic autism spreads everywhere even to officials in the industry?

Jeez, I fear for IDW now

I wonder if Iizuka is aware of the whole sonic recolors autism.
The japanese usually ignore gaijin hijinks, and recolors aren't exactly a real thing in Japan.

He talked in a recent interview about how fans have been sending them mail for 20 years now with their OCs, and how they wanted their OC's to be playable in game leading to Forces character creator. He even specifies how it's mostly westerners doing that.

>I've been working on Sonic for a really long time, and I've been getting a lot fan-mail for a really long time - for like 20 years - and a lot of the fan-mail, even 20 years ago, people were saying, "Hey check out this drawing of Sonic I did," and "Hey, check out this character I made that's in the same style or look of Sonic the Hedgehog." I've been constantly receiving these fan drawings or custom-created ideas, so even from 20 years ago, I had this understanding that fans enjoyed creating and existing in this world. I wanted to let people to do that to some extent, but I think the spark started a long time ago when I saw all of these people creating Sonic-type stuff. I understood that Americans like creating their own stuff, so this whole understanding how American fans are interacting with the character was the seed that was planted a long time ago. It just so happens that now we have the skills, the technology, and the team is making a representative world of Sonic the Hedgehog with characters that fit into our world. Players can now go in and make what they want with the format of the series. Fans have been making stuff - we're very aware of that - and we hope they like the content that has been created. But really, the genesis was a really long time ago, seeing all of the created pictures coming into me.

Ben Hurst was pitching a SatAM movie in the early 2000's and Penders fucked him over by telling the execs his own idea instead and claiming Hurst was supporting him and got the project shot down.

so he knows.
but what about the inflation and diaper porn? does he knows about that too?

Oh god I've jumped to -that- timeline again

>t. hilldawg

Are we ever going to get to a point where people stop saying Penders sued Archie?

He sued Sega. Archie sued him.

>I keep screaming but God won't answer

Why is his art so garish? I've seen some examples of his work at archie and it's serviceable comic art. The shit in the OP and at his booth horrifies me.
I genuinely don't understand the thought process.

He thinks he can apply human anatomy to cartoony anthro forest animals. And doesn't realize that it just doesn't work.

Every time.

It's amazing how One Autistic Man destroys a single Comic distributor because of his fan characters.

>to be against hillary you must be pro trump
america is the worst meme

I love little insights like these on how professionals interact and think of their clientele

It's more One Autistic Man And His Rich-Ass Wife He Constantly Sponges Off.

>I've seen some examples of his work at archie and it's serviceable comic art.
You sure man? He's always been like that. When he's rushed he puts in less "detail," making it less garish, but his construction on Sonic characters was always like this when he wasn't tracing.

>t. enlightened centrist

But if you don't support either side, that's even worse than liking the wrong side!

Sorry, buddy, you're stuck in our reality now.

I saw all the knuckles clones lined up and assumed that was par for the course. What you've posted is pretty bad.

What about cartoony anthro forest animals anatomy to humans? Has anyone done that?

hillary isn't left enough
hell she isn't left at all
she only appears left when juxtaposed to the balls-out lunacy that is the american right

Obama got assassinated and Joe biden became president in my timeline.
And now trumps the president in this one? Good lord.

I wonder if the Boothe Bridge still exists here

Godam-

WHY WONT THIS AUTISTIC FUCK LET IT GO?!

First he fucks over the entire comic and now he's making shit tier art?

>I hope that they won't can the Freedom Fighters characters.
I do, there's too many shitty characters even within just the games, get these furfag OCs out of this shit

The tone should be like the Sonic OVA, that shit was so spot on it's not funny

Good argument.

Black people
Super-Preda-Tors
We have to put them to heel.
-Killary

The Knuckleses in that spread are traced off each other and heavily referenced to begin with.

His art has been the exact same combination of emulated Marvel visual shortcuts mashed together for over 30 years, he just has more free time to incorrectly shade and add definition now. It's why elements like clothing and rocks and such look fine but everything else is garbo: he can't draw from imagination. He's a pretty good inker, though.

Same.

I call bullshit simply because no company should only have one copy of a contract.

Their fault not his. He got lucky. And when I say lucky I mean they likely found out the contract was not as air tight as they thought and tried to use it missing as a way to continue the legal fight.

They guy's art looks shitty, and I don't doubt he's a shitty writer (most people who do the OC thing are, it's like a house painter deciding to use a color the homeowner didn't want). But if they don't have they contract I'd side with him too.

Apparently he was for a good time taking credit for another artist's work, so even if you see his name on it, doesn't mean he drew it. Her name was Dawn Best and her work is significantly better than his.

>t. communist

I am unsure why I am meant to be mad at this.

He honered his word and drew the picture the guy earnt. That's admirable.

Fixed.

>believing that anything left of the american democratic party is communism
america truly is the worst meme

Because to socially retarded people, SJW liberals are the "cool" ones now.
They want to be cool too so they hate on Trump but being socially retarded, they go too far.
It's like CWC with his tranny shit now. He just wants to be hip and "in", but being so fucking autistic he goes way too far with it

That'd be the likes of Popeye.
Cartooning is the thoughtful application of exageration and simplification to express ideas more clearly. With enough cleverness you can make a cartoon out of anything.

It doesn't work as often in reverse because creatures created from imagination are inherently constructed to be simple and have no basis on which to return to realism without changing them outright.

Or, short version: you can make a cartoon of Bill Clinton with or without changing his anatomy. You can't make a realistic portrait Sonic as a hedgehog without changing his anatomy.

Do you not see the part where he tries to spin it into Trump commentary?

The courts generally disagree with you.
Copies are valid and the precedent is on the side of companies when it comes to external licensing. Archie is stupid for not having an original, but Ken is lucky their judge even humored him as his case wouldn't have gotten far anyway.

>That'd be the likes of Popeye.
Which is what we want, that and Elmer Fudd.

you got that backwards. liking trump for literally no reason besides the fact that he's trump and liking him is edgy. is what the "cool kids" do ow.

Remember the time Ken Penders gave his son a framed copy of one of the comics as a wedding gift?

It would be nice to live in best reality.

>It's what the "cool kids" do now.
No, that's what people on Sup Forums do now.
