COMIC NOTES

Sonic Wrecks comic #105: “The Nintendo Difference” was completed in sprite form in early 2009 and in Hama form in June 2010.
The comic is also known by the title “What a Difference 365 Days Make”.
Sons of Adam/Daughters of Eve is a Chronicles of Narnia reference.
Mark Hughes would later go on to do official art for SEGA.
In the original script draft the Nintendo Approved poster was going to feature a seal giving a thumbs up – or a seal of approval.
Likewise the names of these most hardcore of Nintendo fanboys are Jeff (baseball cap) & Davis (long hair).
Jeff is drinking some Falcon Punch in a homage to Captain Falcon off F-Zero.
The Apple-esque logo designed by Sonicmark is a riff on Kirby.
Spot the Super Mario in frame four.
Yes, Davis is using a GameCube controller. Why? Because you don’t think so hardcore a fanboy would use a “kiddy” wiimote do you? He’d want to play his console as a gamer!
