I looked it up after the episode and found out they make Connect 4 games where the pieces are black and white, that's what inspired this comic. I thought it would be cuter if Esther painted the pieces herself and surprised him with it though. I had considered making this with Katherine and Abaddon at first, and have it where Esther and Ben are leaving for school, Abaddon is standing there and when they are gone he goes to crawl in the vents but before he does Katherine's like, "Hey Abaddon wait, I have something for you" And then she picks up a package off the front desk and hands it to him and he's like, "What is it?" and she says "Open it"

So he opens it and it's a Connect 4 game where the pieces are black and white. And Katherine says something like, "I ordered it for you after your game with Esther, I thought with this you'd have an easier time telling the pieces apart" And then he looks at her and says thank you or something and maybe Katherine asks him if he'd want to play a match against her and then they'd play together. I thought it would be cute a bonding moment where Katherine is actually trying to reach out and connect with him (lol) since out of all the characters they seem to get along the least.

I ended up going with the comic being him and Esther because she was the one he was playing the game against in the episode and I really liked the idea of her painting the pieces herself.

Not super happy with his expression in the last panel, I was trying to give him a genuine smile, like, he's actually touched that she did that but he looks goofy as hell, he's got bug eyes lol

Honestly I really don't think he should have had that much trouble telling the pieces apart. I don't know what type of color blindness he has (I really don't think much thought was put into it, it seemed like it was just a joke in the episode for the sake of funny) but I when putting the red and yellow colors in black and white they are pretty easy to tell apart since the red is a lot darker than the yellow. I'm just going to assume he couldn't see colors at all since he didn't know what they are. Idk

I like the idea that Sonic can be silent for hours but word vomits when he's nervous or catches the right moment. Shadow is a good listener...at least to people he respects. I HC it's a bad trait of his, walking away or leaving before someones finished talking because obviously he already knows this thing.

I think it's something they would both have to work on. Sonic might even have the opposite issue, never finishing or explaining enough...just running off.

a lil tropey sonadow warm up, before getting some more comic stuff going in the new year. This one's been sitting in my files for months.

I think over time he'd become fascinated by the strange things people say, given how often sonic just sits and listens to the world around him. At some point his "wtf are you talking about, that's a dumb thing to say" would turn into, "thats a weird thing to say. Why? tell me more. I need to understand everything."

I bet sonic would slap him with a "why do you think he said that? Really? huh." but never explaining, making shadow doubt himself and ask more just to prove he's exploring more perspectives.

Also continues my HC that he's accidentally romantic, despite himself haha. "is he into me?" Who knows, honestly.
