Description

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.

#173 - Bamboozled by a More Prominent Eustace

2026/01/30

Lew Stringer begins his final bow, and what a bow it is! Plus! Dave finally liberates a Squirtle, we all replace our Fresh Prince Fact File collection with the Fresh Prince wiki, Sonic's worst game comes out, and Diggle DELIVERS!

#172 - Tears of Orange

2026/01/16

New Millennium, new world... new STC? The drama is back and we're in a good mood. There's a sincere chance that STCTP's whinge-phase might be over. That's all I can be bothered to write!

#171 - It's an Ip-Dip

2025/12/31

It's the end of days and the start of days. From now on, this is not a 90s podcast, and it is not the 90s. Join Teen-Dave at the Big Y2K Bash, and adult Dave and Chris at the old men sitting around reading children's comics ward.

#170 - Pavlov the Dog

2025/12/19

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

2025/12/06

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

2025/11/22

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.

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

2025/11/07

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

2025/10/24

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, we wild-westigate the graphic zone and revive an old dead Zone.

#165 - Non-Copyright-Infringing Blue Fast Rat

2025/10/10

It's Shanazar's swan song - 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 4-letter word for Timmy & make Mark Morrison noises

#164 - Grinking and Shrowing

2025/09/26

In this episode, we have gone a bit bonk-nanas. We'll contemplate middle-aged pickles, the best way to have diarrhea 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

2025/09/12

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!

#162 - Sonic Fans: Not Even Once

2025/08/29

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

2025/08/15

It's bits n' sticks at the seaside this fortnight as 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.

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

2025/08/01

Horses ride dinosaurs, monsters are real but Mulder & Scully are fake, we have a cow, and we go from knights to rookes!

#159 - Slush Puppy Experiences

2025/07/18

Nothing cools yer hole like it! This episode we answer the question: how is the podcast still the same length?
