Here are some of my comments of the Ken Penders chat. Well, first off, the chat was moving pretty fast and even though Sonic Whammy, Ken, and I told everyone to chill out with the questions, more people asked and didn't care. I thought that was very disrespectful, but anyway here are a few things from the chat. I only started to log the events when Ken came back after accidentally hitting the wrong button to leave the chat room. My browser was a bit cocky so bare with me folks. Also, for your sake and mine, I only posted what Ken said and the people who were getting answers from Ken. My name is "Knuckles" at the bottom. As for the questions I aksed, it's all I could think of at the moment. ;) (I had to wait an hour and a half for 2 answers!) KenPenders: Anyway, I have pages from SONIC #90, 91 and 92 I hope to upload to this website by this weekend KenPenders: as well as JPGS of the Digimon and Pokemon covers I've been doing for the Beckett magazines KenPenders: And if you guys want to check out something different, but in the same ballpark KenPenders: I'm also doing an online comic which can be found at www.pajamaman.com KenPenders: Right now, trying to get the series out to the comics shops is a tough ordeal KenPenders: Getting back to this website, we're going to be implementing a major change in regards to the KenPenders: message board and chat room, hopefully by this weekend KenPenders: Due to ceratin legalities and the nature of this site, once the change is up KenPenders: everyone will have to register in order to use it KenPenders: Those under a certain age (Bob, help me here) will have to get a parents' signature KenPenders: I'm just about done, if everyone is patient KenPenders: Personal info will be required, but as you'll see, we already have a privacy policy in place KenPenders: This is not something I would do if I didn't have to KenPenders: You'll still have to register a working e-mail address in order to use the boards KenPenders: Anyway, I'm open for questions at this point. I'll call out a name KenPenders: and give everyone a turn KenPenders: DoubleCross? Double_Cross: Cool! OK... When Dimitri becomes Enerjak again, will he be the Enerjak we know, or a Metal E? KenPenders: Julie-Su doesn't return until SONIC #98 KenPenders: Dimitri as Enerjak will return by #100 KenPenders: Ellie-Za? Ellie-Za: Well...I'd still like to know Lara-su's colouring... KenPenders: Kanyon? KenPenders: Knicknevin? KenPenders: Hi, Mary. Pepperidge? Knicknevin: Hm... Ant chance the deal with Sega will change in the future and allow the writers more freedom? KenPenders: These are Sega's characters KenPenders: I still have a free hand with Knuckles KenPenders: as you'll see with the following issues KenPenders: Ray was on the Floating Island, and we won't be going back there for at least a few more issues KenPenders: Which reminds me, I have a full color page of Charmy and Safron from SONIC #93 that I'll be posting KenPenders: Sonicwhammy? SonicWhammy: What exactly IS Sega allowing now? You mentioned that they've started to change their comic views KenPenders: and you'll be seeing certain things we intended to do a long time ago finally come about KenPenders: Geoffrey will become more involved with Sally, for instance KenPenders: Sonique, your turn KenPenders: Regarding Geoffrey and Hershey, I've never established anything more in the series than a KenPenders: professional relationship KenPenders: So the romantic triangle may be making a comeback in some pretty interesting ways KenPenders: Tails and Knuckles come together in SONIC #95 - 97 for THE CHOSEN ONE storyline KenPenders: Sally will re-examine her feelings towards Geoffrey, yes KenPenders: Keep your eyes on Mina, everyone, as her role is going to increase as well KenPenders: Sega is going to exert more control in rgards to using the series as much as possible KenPenders: as a promotional vehicle KenPenders: TLSPRWR? TLSPRWR: Thank you, What college did you go to to start off? KenPenders: SA2 won't be for awhile KenPenders: We're having a hard time getting reference for SONIC SHUFFLE as it is Trez: Um, will there be another game adaption even if you aren't instructed too(Sega)? I would personally Trez: not like to see that KenPenders: I know Kragok is coming back, but haven't nailed down exactly when yet/ KenPenders: guys, I can't answer anyone's questions with all the side comments KenPenders: everything's going to fast for me to keep up with everyone talking KenPenders: I'm not trying to be a party poop, Dan :-) Trez: Um, will there be another game adaption even if you aren't instructed too(Sega)? I would personally Trez: not like to see that KenPenders: Sega will have us adapt any SONIC game they put out. That's called marketing, and we can't refuse to KenPenders: Blue Raven? Blue_Raven: Are you going to have any back up stories that center on the chaotix? KenPenders: There won't be any Chaotix stories, Blue Raven, but the characters KenPenders: will be making appearances KenPenders: I just can't say when they will do so other than Charmy KenPenders: Vector? Vector: no question for me, i was going to ask when the chaotix would appear, but that's been covewered KenPenders: Dragon_Aaron? _Dragon_AaronR: OK... My question isn't necessarily a question about the comic itself, but mainly supply and demand. KenPenders: If the person I call on doesn't have a question, simply say pass _Dragon_AaronR: Currently I have never actually READ a Knuckles comic, nor have I seen them around here KenPenders: That's why the book is no longer published, because even Archie had a KenPenders: difficult time getting the books into the stores KenPenders: You can order the books either through Archie or through my store page on this website TLSPRWR: Yes What would you suggest to a young artist that would like to get started in comics? KenPenders: MaryEchidna? MaryEchidna: When will Remmy's secret be reveal? KenPenders: It'll be sometime after #100 before we can address Remington and his secret MaryEchidna: And will there be any stories that take place in that zone where everybodys at? KenPenders: Good question, Mary. I haven't really figured that out yet... KenPenders: ...simply because I haven't worked out all the ramifications of what happens in SONIC #100 KenPenders: gggg? gggg: Will Sonic Fight Enerjak? KenPenders: You're welcome, Mary -- and maybe to Tails and Fiona KenPenders: I'll have to check with Karl on that one, gggg, although I suspect he's leaning that way KenPenders: Rebecky-mo? rebecky-mo: yay! ok, two question rebecky-mo: one ,will knux and sally make up? KenPenders: To be honest, Ron, the Sword of Acorns is a plot point I'd have to check on as I'm not sure what KenPenders: it's status at the moment is. It's all I can do just to maintain the Knuckles continuity these days. KenPenders: I highly doubt Knuckles will be on speaking terms with many people, let alone Sally KenPenders: after SONIC #100 rebecky-mo: two, will we see more of julie-su's past? must be more to her than just amnesia and rotten stepsibli KenPenders: As for why I'm not up to speed on all points of Sonic continuity, keep in mind I'm working on four KenPenders: or five projects at any given time, most of which are not Sonic KenPenders: We'll see more of Julie-Su starting with SONIC #98, including her step-parents KenPenders: Dan? Dan_Drazen: Is "Off-Panel" on hiatus because Mike Gallagher quit? KenPenders: That's possible, although I haven't discussed what happened with Justin, Dan KenPenders: Just to give you some idea of the insanity in producing the latest issues KenPenders: we've been barely getting the books out before deadline due to a lot of miscommunication and other KenPenders: snafus KenPenders: IanJFlicky? IanJFlicky: Thanks Ken. Will the next Sonic/Knuckles crossover be S#100 or before, or after? Knuckles: will moritori Rex and the "guardian who failed" make an appearance? KenPenders: No to your first question, Knuckles. At least nnot in the foreseeable future Knuckles: Will Manny Galan continue to draw anymore? Ken Penders: Manny is too busy working for nickelodeon to continue drawing comics.
