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.

#170 - Pavlov the Dog

We're happy just to be proved wrong this episode as we uncover a forgotten blunder. STC Boomers watch a late cut of an early version of Sonic the Movie, and we sing along with an underrated citv banger

#169 - ...And Roblox

Good news for lovers of Meccano because that's what there's a surfeit of. We do a Hume Error, Set's got a wonky barcode, and Diary Dave unearths the very first wiki and plumps up his Pink.

#168 - Elephant's Got a PEN

It's a clippety-clop podcast, in which Robinson's fruit drinks give away a toy of a dismembered part of a Disney hero's parent with tokens collected from special packs. That's all you're getting, it was a big convention last weekend so this episode's already quite late. Just listen to it if you're curious. Pretend it's a big mystery. Pretend it's a big secret what's in this episode and you're uncovering the secret if you listen to it. Then you can tell people and spoil it for them. oh! That's something we talk about actually, spoilers. We talk about the Sixth Sense. And we DO NOT spoil it. We don't! That's actually true! Al right, on you go. I can't remember why I ticked "adult content" this episode, let's call that another mystery. We don't do any swears but I think someone talks about something that is fundamentally rude. Or that might have been last fortnight. Well you're spoiled for spoilers this time aren't you.

#167 - I've Got a Chewit In My Mouth

This is a chewy and slobbery episode, but if you can get through that, it's quite a funny one. It's the beginning of a new era, and we get excited about batteries. I have mercifully cut an hour and a half of JUST reading wikipedia, we're getting worse...

#166 - Groundbreaking Turkey Technology

We're spluttering and gibbering this issue because this one probably shouldn't have happened. Chris sets about wringing some hate out of Dave, but Dave's attention is elsewhere. Also, can you still get a pterodactyl? We wild-westigate the graphic zone and revive an old dead Zone we haven't visited in ages. Patsy Palmer goes fishing, and we meet some chocolate northerners.

#165 - Non-Copyright-Infringing Blue Fast Rat

It's Shanazar's swan song - or perhaps that should be Frog Song. Dave's frustrated about one game's release while everyone else is excited about another, we learn how not to use a whoopee cushion, use a four-letter word for Timmy and make some Mark Morrison noises

#164 - Grinking and Shrowing

In this episode, we have gone a bit bonk-nanas. We'll contemplate middle-aged pickles and the best way to have diarrhoea, and learn what the people of the Bronx did before anyone else, and there's teenage Sonicey beef in the Diary Zone

#163 - A Multiplicity of Mambos

Sonic meets one of those Medusas and as usual we slam into something we were not looking forward to and actually it makes a bit more sense than we thought. Oodie-boodie!And actually, while we're here, I just want to add that when I say in the episode that I thought they were saying oodie-boodie, I was mostly basing that on the impression of it done by the boys (and yes, it was the East 17 boys) in my class, and so for all I know those boys may in fact have been saying oodie-boodie, having no more knowledge than I did about such things. They also knew a few more words and you're going to hear why this episode. Even though I've bleeped them, even the bleeps are too rude so I've marked this episode Explicit. Also we say bollocks! :O

#162 - Sonic Fans: Not Even Once

Teen drama this fortnight as the early Sonic fandom are stupid enough that the grownups have to step in. Plus: A new enemy for Action Man, Mark has the last Word, and we choose our own adventure (and it's blithering on)

#161 - The Wretched Use of the Computer

It's bits n' sticks at the seaside this fortnight as we "launch" into a historic film that's finally here. Sonic gets stuck (like a stuck bird) into a race in space. But what else have we got, ooh, we've got buckles that mutate, Buckles and his mate, and a lot on Deborah's plate. We solve the mystery of the hopper popper champion, we find out what weapon comes free with most children's comics, we ask what you call a Crocodile and whose bits are entertaining. Hog tags.

#160 - Poke Its Head Out The Back End Of Itself

Zonk! Hello! It's us again, two gentlemen you've never seen before. If you thought you did, that was our holograms. Well there'll be (holo)GRAMS of fun in this fortnight's metric episode, where horses ride dinosaurs, monsters are real but Mulder & Scully are fake, we have a cow, and we go from knights to rookes!

#157 - Bob Monkhouse Condemning the French

Everybody get up, it's the start of the FINAL YEAR of STC, and what an episode it is. Grotesque desirable triangles, ideas from the Fun Factory, incredibly sexy insects, a suss six, a sunny seven and two familiar fives.This episode contains one of the most fun editing things I've done in ages when I noticed something about something in the recap attack. I cannot get it out of my head and neither will you.

#156 - The Jingle For Paint

Some thumps and bumps on the banjo this fortnight, and a couple of tearful farewells as the Nord taketh away.* But they're not taking away the podcast! *because Egmont describes itself as "the biggest media group in the Nordics," so they're the Nord... actually that sounds rude now I type it out like that, I hope I haven't stumbled upon a slur in a language I don't speak. Oo-er! Erk! Cripes! etc

#155 - A Certain Understanding of What Happens in the Torso Area

Here's a band of boys you can really enjoy! Dave mistakes Macaulay Culkin for himself, the rat has a name, everybody waits by the phone and a meet Judge...... just judge. Yoww baybeh! Wishes what we like! Then Spanky gets bloodthirsty and mercilessly hacks his way through the British entertainment establishment.
