Sharper than a Cyber-Razor Cut! This podcast is your online guide to the Sega-sational world of the 1990's and the UK's official Sega comic: Sonic The Comic.

Join the humes who think they're in charge, Dave Bulmer (a.k.a. DemonTomatoDave on YouTube) and Chris McFeely (creator of Transformers: The Basics on YouTube), as they review each issue from cover to cover, adverts and all, and explain what it was really like to grow up with Sonic The Comic as a piece of culture. Sonic Boomers (that's you, listeners) may also expect the occasional tangent about other pieces of 90's UK culture such as Woolworths and El Dorado.

You can also read along with STCTP on each episode's webpage which can be found at stctp.zone and if that's STILL not enough content for you, join our Patreon at patreon.com/stctp for reviews of the Martin Adams Sonic novels (including an exclusive interview with the author!) as well as livestreams of Dave reading the awful Sonic fanfics he wrote as a teenager to Chris.

#17 - Phooeyuk! - with @teromemcnally

It's finally 1994, and we man the Sega Fleet to discuss one of the most misunderstood Sonic stories ever. It's brilliant, it's creepy, it's Ilya's hallucinogenic masterpiece, Sonic The Human. How many STCs can you fit in a kilogram?

#6 - Currently the sexiest dolphin

Fleetway provide a handy jumping-off point for STC readers this issue! Chris rebels against them in a big way. Sonic sinks the Death Egg, bravely brave Shinobi faces the Neo Zeed, Golden Axe is axed and Wonder Boy tries the jukebox at the Shame Inn.
