You know, it's pretty weird to think a bunch of OCs from a short lived cartoon SEGA was never going to canonise kept being used in a comic book for nearly 25 years, a comic that in turn pretty much only ended because a former writer sued over the copyright of other OCs. Really bizarre, right? Had Archie been better at making people sign contracts and/or keeping them, maybe characters like Sally Acorn would still be around and SEGA would still refuse to use them in any games.
