Part I
Robotnik has created a new badnik:  Coconuts.  He sends Coconuts off after Sonic and Tails.  Coconuts begins to fight, throwing his explosive coconuts, but Sonic and Tails turn the tables by playing "monkey in the middle."  After Coconuts throws a fit, Sonic hits the coconut at Coconuts and sends the leftover parts to Robotnik.  Robotnik is shocked and two silhouetted figures say that they'll take over for Coconuts.

Part II
The two silhouettes are  Scratch, the leader of the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad, and Grounder, his non-identical twin brother.  The two badniks take off and follow a trench that was left by Sonic.  They follow it to a cliff, where Sonic catches up to them and uses a sonic spin to saw off the edge of the cliff.  Scratch falls to the ground while Grounder uses his parachute to make a perfect landing.  Grounder then shoots a cable at Sonic and Scratch drags him down from the cliff.  The two argue over who will get the credit for killing Sonic, but Sonic runs in circles around them, making a fissure into the ground.  The ground collapses and the two are trapped, allowing Sonic to deliver the news to Robotnik when he calls on Grounder's phone.

There were many ideas before Sonic achieved his comic book form.  For example:  Chronic the Hedgehog (with back pains), Philharmonic the Hedgehog (the conductor of an orchestra), Moronic the Hedgehog, Histrionic the Hedgehog, Hydroponic the Hedgehog (growing plants in zero gravity), and Stereophonic the Hedgehog.

“All the Mail's About Tails!” - 2 pages
M. Gallagher * D. Manak * J. D'Agostino * D. Nakrosis * L. America!

Some ideas for Tails having two tails are discussed:  Tails' ancestor was owned by Charles Dickens ("A Tails of Two Cities"), Tails is actually a mutant, Tails was once a part of a carnival freak show, Tails was created by Dr. Frankenstain, and Tails actually has Antoine's tail.


Sonic-Gram highlights:
 ~ Sonic the Hedgehog airs on ABC and Sonic 3 will soon premier
 ~ When asked if Sonic and Sally will ever go steady, then answer was:  "are hedgehogs blue?"
 ~ The picture of a female bunny is Bunnie Rabbot
 ~ Sally died her hair black because "Burnettes have more fun"
