That article was actually a pretty decent summary of the drama surrounding Penders with tons of links for additional context. They even covered Penders talking about Sally's virginity status, that's funny. Ol' Bobby is definitely not a fan of the man from reading that article though.
Also, this video has enraged Penders into going back into the botched deal he had with Ben Hurst

Good thing Ken has a small internet presence now. Calling Ben a sad fool would definitely rile up quite a few people otherwise. Also just a distasteful way to talk about the dead.
I'm also gonna point back to my old post detailing Ben specifically blaming Penders for the deal going to shit

I had totally missed that post from Ben about what happened with Underground but it makes sense. Underground had an insane variance in quality - the best stories were generally the episode arcs or ones that actually provided some character development and did have some almost SATAM like moments between cringe moments and those songs ugh.
But on trying to get a project done. I think part of the issue is Ben always wanted to get the season 3 he planned out there and pretty much every effort failed. I know some fans got his Season 3 scripts years back but not sure they were ever shared due to him asking for them not to be shared. Did the season 3 comic ever go anywhere?
Besides looking like a cheerful version of Carl Fartgon of A Wad, what's wrong with him?

It is, which makes the fact that he chose to call out the one with the neutral stance instead of the one that directly criticized his work hilarious.

I am still impressed that Dreamworks wanted to work with this man and his Mary Sues. But geez, he's even more an asshole than John K. was when he tried to make a film with them.That article was actually a pretty decent summary of the drama surrounding Penders with tons of links for additional context.

If this thread is going to keep getting bumped, here’s something relevant to it:
I read every Sonic comic by Ken Penders, and they’re wilder than you could ever imagine
Former Sonic writer Ken Penders is famous for his legal battles with Archie. What comes up less is the actual content of his stories.medium.com
I thought Sonic Spinball was a weird (but good) twist on the Sonic franchise. This shit is the stuff of nightmares though.

Thing that surprises me is how Ken doesn't try to pull a Threshold and claim he was the one who helped to define Sonic more than Sega did and try to sue them for the main characters of the franchise.
I mean if he really wants to do that stupid Echidna thing, wouldn't he want Knuckles under his lock and key? Or did he already try that and Sega threatened to countersue if he pulled that shit?

He probably thinks his are the “true canon” or whatever.

Gee Ken, maybe the movie didn't have parents for Sonic because it's about a fucking videogame franchise that never gave a shit about Sonic's family tree.

Does he still claim to be doing anything with those characters?

It's "almost" done. Just took 10 years to make a comic about purely drawn echidnas.

That last sentence feels like it's suppose to be a slam against someone, but I'm not sure who. It's not a brag, so we can safely assume it wasn't aimed at the people who made the Sonic movie, and I'm pretty sure no one has ever said that he could, so he's not really making a point here either. It's just a weird thing to say there.It's "almost" done. Just took 10 years to make a comic about purely drawn echidnas.

9 years after anyone would have really even cared a little. Why should I care about these characters when they no longer have any relevance or history with where they came from? They may as well be different people.It's "almost" done. Just took 10 years to make a comic about purely drawn echidnas.
