Return to Sonic Retold in 2026 (Patreon)

I'm back.

I don't know where to begin. How long has it been since I left? A good three years now? A lot has happened since then and there's a lot to talk about. I know some of you have tried to contact me during my absence, but let's just say I was not in a good place to respond. To put it short, I've been going through a prolonged depression. Half of it is due to my unstable housing situation, the other half I'll explain in my DA journal tomorrow. During my last post, I was in the middle of an eviction. That dragged on interminably as it was incredibly difficult to find a new place to stay. The stress of house-searching consumed my time, and even later the place I eventually settled on out of desperation was half the size of my previous accommodation. It was cramped... so cramped that I felt trapped in this dead-end lifestyle with little incentive to be creative. My love of drawing hasn't availed me much if this is the life I've earned from it.

And then came another eviction. My landlord had a sick friend he wanted to give my room to, so I had to move out. Once again, the search took months with many rejections or inadequate residences. My landlord's patience wore thin and I just grew more and more frustrated. Finally I caught a break. I found an affordable place in the north of the city that's a step up from my previous home. It's roomier and far less stressful than before, so for the first time in three years I feel like I've finally been able to sit back and relax.

With a little more room to breathe, I want to get back to the drawing board and pick up where I left off. Obviously my primary concern is continuing Sonic Retold, since I'm sure you're all eager to find out what happens now that we've reached the point where the original Archie Sonic timeline ended. I started this comic to bring some sense of closure to the Mecha Sally arc and I'll be damned if I don't do that. Despite my aforementioned lull, I have drawn a few pages during my absence, so I can start issue #6 right away with a comfortable buffer. I've also included the Off-Panel and Sonic Retold-Grams pages for issue #5, since those were never uploaded before my departure. Updates will be weekly as usual with advance pages available here on Patreon. Eggman is defeated and Team Fighters have recovered Princess Sally, but the prospect of deroboticizing her lies ahead, and Naugus has his own hand to play before the day is done. What happens next? Keep reading to find out.

I hope you'll forgive my prolonged absence due to personal problems. Just be glad that I'm back now and ready to continue my webcomic. Onward with the story.
