>>124584771I wear that scarlet letter proudly cuz, regardless of the motives behind it, regardless of the fervor it caused and regardless of the rancor it still incites Archie Sonic fans with to this day -- that, in the end, is what art (bad or good which is subjective depending on the eye of the beholder) is supposed to do. It'll make you care about the characters. And the results of this page either made many fans either realize they'd stopped caring altogether OR made other fans realize that things needed to change and soon. So I guess that's exactly what this page, warts and diarrhea and abnormally giant head-eating Sally and all accomplished and still does.
(OR some just kept reading like nothing ever happened -- and that is just fine too.)
The perspective is weird, Sonic's arm turns to rubber in one panel for whatever reason, Sally's boobs are pronounced and looking like they're about to lactate like theres no tomorrow -- SO MUCH WRONG WITH THIS -- but, for me, the focal point always keeps going back to that slap. That's the key focus on this page and, for better or worse, it did what it set out to do and then some.
And when people make fun of it online, I ain't mad at that either, cuz now I know better and deep down, I make fun of it too. :)
