While working on the most epic YTMND ever this past Thursday, I came across this YTMND that had the comic seen above. Who would have ever guessed that Sonic is blue because of the cobalt effect! You know, the cobalt effect! It's when shock waves hit you when you smash into the sound barrier, duh!
Apparently, this comic also explains the origins of Dr. Robotnik. Which happens by the doctor holding an egg and getting hit by lightning ...
What do you think? Do you like being given some kind of official back story to your favorite characters no matter how stupid the truthiness is? Or do you just not give a damn?
Also, Rrrriiccccooo Sssuaavvee.
(Update: Forgot to thank Heywood for showing me the comic. Also, thanks to Zero_Tolo and Heywood for showing us the the full back story of the comic. Still looking for the rest of the comic pages though!)

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I think it was found in the old Archie published Sonic comic as well as others.
http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Hedgehog
" This origin story established that Sonic was originally a normal brown hedgehog, who burrowed his way into the underground laboratory of Dr. Ovi Kintobor, a scientist who wished to rid the planet Mobius of all evil through the use of powerful gems called the Chaos Emeralds. In addition, he helped Sonic increase his running speed using a special treadmill, until the hedgehog eventually broke the sound barrier with a sonic boom which turned him blue. However, an accident involving the unstable Chaos Emeralds and a rotten egg transformed Kintobor into the evil Dr Ivo Robotnik, leading to the events of the games Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The accident consisted of Kintobor accidentally knocking over a bottle of lemonade into a machine he was working on, that had the emeralds inside (while holding the egg), while he was explaining to Sonic what he was doing.
I have a bunch of HORRIBLE Sonic Comic stuff you might find hilarious here:

I must say, though, that it makes overly pretentious science-fiction movies entertaining. "The Core" was hilarious -- probably the best worst movie ever made.
he's looking in a mirror genius
Who am I kidding? rrrrrico
Suave!
If you want it that bad ill scan it for you someday when I am not busy...
This is the original comic I posted above, it came out 2 weeks before sonic 1 on genesis did.
the dude at counter said they was free even though it said a $1.50 on it, I think he was just being nice though and gave me some.
