## Synopsis

"Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil have noticed something—they are being watched. Somehow their parents can see every little thing they can do. They’re going to have to find a way to have fun while avoiding the electronic eyes of the babycam!". -Official *article*description.

## Plot

The Comic starts with Tommy and Chuckie hiding from Reptar with a pink bow on its head, while Chuckie tells Tommy that they're doomed. In which, Tommy responds that Reptar is out of control and that the need a plan to protect the city. Chuckie then replies with "We'll be lucky enough to get out of here alive!", before he then points out a second Reptar as they both began destroying a nearby building. Tommy and Chuckie then begin running away in the opposite direction from the Reptars. As they run Tommy, after Chuckie asks what were they going to do, tells Chuckie that he has a plan going on to explain to Chuckie how the Reptars don't like water and knowing what they had to do. Chuckie then answers with asking Stu for a glass of water.

Tommy says no and points out that they have to go to the ocean as they jump off the side of a cliff. Once they do so they're back in reality as it is revealed that Chuckie fell onto his face as he comments that the ground wasn't a very soft ocean as sprinklers go off around them. It is also revealed that the Reptars are actually just Phil and Lil wearing Reptar mask. Lil and Phil both tell Tommy that they don't want to get soggy and they're not supposed to get wet. At the same time, Didi, Betty, Howard, Stu, and Chas all walk outside. Stu is showing his update on his phone to Howard and Chas that is supposed to make his phone battery life last longer while Didi sees the kids running in the sprinklers. Betty also says that it looked like the kids were having fun as the Rugrats run around and play in the sprinklers.

Seeing that they were all soaking wet, Howard picks up Phil and Lil telling them that it was time to go home. Chas picks up Chuckie and wraps him in one of the extra towels he carries with him. As they wave the other families goodbye, Didi tells Betty that she will text the recipies to her later while Stu holds Tommy telling him that he was going to dry him off. Later on that evening, Tommy is playing wrestler as the Tominator as he fights Pepper Penguin, his stuffed penguin toy. However, before he can do his final move, Stu walks into the room and flicks on the bedroom light as he then confinscates the penguin. He then tells Tommy that it's time for bed and that he can't do anymore leg drops on his toy. He also tells him not to get out of his crib. Tommy lies down in his crib wondering not only how his dad knew about what he was doing, but also that he had Pepper Penguin in his place.

Tommy then thinks that there is a hole in the wall that his dad is watching him from as he gets up and begins inspecting the walls next to his crib. He then notices the new pig toy sitting on the bedside table remembering that it's new. He reaches out and grabs the toy pig, which has a small security camera inside, in which he comments in his thoughts that it's heavier than it looked. He then assumes his dad is watching him through the pig's eyes as an idea sparks in his head. The next night, Stu is standing in Tommy's doorway telling him that he's not getting out of bed as Stu did not want a repeat of last night. Stu then says to Tommy that once he syncs his phone with the T.V it was lights out for Tommy. Meanwhile, Tommy pulls a folder, papers, and crayons from under his pillow while Stu is not paying attention as he began to draw and color a picture to look exactly like his room. Telling himself in his thoughts that once he does this he should be able to do what he wants and that he could get revenge on Pepper Penguin.

After five minutes, Tommy's drawing is seen in front of the pig's camera as Stu takes a picture of it commenting that it'd probably would get thousands of likes. He then tells Tommy goodnight as walks out of the room and turning off the light. As Stu turned out the light Tommy asked himself as to how Stu knew the drawing was fake. He then says that the picture was a perfect real life drawing of his room and then wondering if he'd never get revenge on Pepper Penguin because his parents are always watching him; He gulps at the thought. The next morning, Stu takes Tommy over to the Finster's place as he tells Tommy to be good for Chas as they walk up to the front door. Once on the porch, Stu puts Tommy down as he thanks Chas for watching Tommy,

Chas asks Tommy if he's ready to play with Chuckie as Tommy toddles inside. Chas then tells Stu that he was trying out some landscaping on his own after seeing an article and that he would dm Stu the photos when he was finished. In which Stu responds that it would be great if Chas did so and that it reminded him of the article Howard sent him on Gardening Seasons as he attempts to send it to Chas. As Stu and Chas continue talking, Tommy goes out to the back sliding door looking for Chuckie as he calls out for him. He then says that he had something to tell him.

* The official *Rugrats* Facebook page confirmed this new comic series in a Facebook post.
* Judging by the cover art, the art style is very different from the previous books/comics.
* The comic appears to take place before the first movie, given the absence of Dil Pickles, Kimi Finster, and Kira Finster (though Kira does appear on the New York City Comic-Con variant cover), and Tommy sleeping in his old crib with his bed from the first movie nowhere in sight.

## Video

Sonic the Hedgehog was an American comic book series published by Archie Comics, in partnership with Sega. The series was based on Sega's video game franchise as well as DiC Entertainment's 1993 animated series of the same name. After initially beginning with a four issue miniseries between 1992 and 1993, the first full-length issue of the comic was published in July 1993. The series ran for 290 issues for over 20 years, earning a place in the 2008 Guinness World Records for being the "longest-running comic series based on a video game",[1] and it became the longest-running franchise-based comic series in 2015, surpassing Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian (which ran for 275 issues) before it was confirmed cancelled in July 2017 (although the comics ceased release in January of that year), following Sega and Archie Comics' decision to discontinue their business relationship.[2][non-primary source needed] The series features a cast of hundreds of characters, consisting of those derived from the Sonic games and those original to the comics, with stories focused on a crime-fighting organization called the Freedom Fighters, led by Sonic, as they face off against series antagonist Doctor Eggman alongside a variety of other villains.

While the series largely consists of its own continuity, certain issues implemented aspects of the Sonic video games into their plots and settings. Following a lawsuit in 2013 by former writer Ken Penders, Archie rebooted the series, removing several characters from the comics' continuity and moving it closer to that of the games. Over its history, the series has seen a number of spin-off publications being created – these include Sonic Universe, which focuses on stories revolving around different side characters from the main series; Knuckles the Echidna, focusing on adventures involving Knuckles and his friends the Chaotix; Sonic X, a comic series based on the 2003 Japanese anime of the same name; and Sonic Boom, a comic series based on both the cartoon series and the video game series of the same name. In addition, the comic series has had two crossovers with Archie's Mega Man comic-book series, based on the Mega Man video games from Capcom.

A succeeding series of Sonic comics by IDW Publishing began serialization from April 2018, following IDW's acquisition of the Sonic license. Ian Flynn, who formerly worked on the Archie series, was recruited by IDW to help with producing stories for the new series.[3][non-primary source needed][4]

Publication historyEdit

The Sonic the Hedgehog comic debuted in the US as a four-part miniseries (cover-dated 1992 to February 1993).[5][6] This was followed up a few months later by the series Sonic the Hedgehog (July 1993 – December 2016).[7] Numerous one-shot specials and several reprint series' followed.[8]

SynopsisEdit

The comics follow the adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends, called the Freedom Fighters, who battle against the evil Doctor Robotnik. Initially based on the plot of the 1993 animated series, the comic later incorporated elements from the video games and other media. Ken Penders, former writer of the comic, sued Sega, EA, and Archie Comics for copyright infringements,[9] leading to a continuity reboot with all established characters created by Penders and other writers being removed, save those of current writer Ian Flynn, who penned the new continuity, and those created for assorted animated series, which Sega retains the rights to. The new continuity is a world much more closer to the world depicted in Sega's games.

The original universe, which remained canon until the comic's 247th issue, is set on the planet Mobius, an alternate version of Earth where animals were mutated into the anthropomorphic Mobians. Dr. Robotnik is depicted as a tyrant, ruling from Robotropolis, following a coup d'état against the Kingdom of Acorn. A small band of heroes, the Freedom Fighters, fight back against his forces from the secluded village of Knothole. Amongst the group are Sonic, his best friend Miles "Tails" Prower, love interest and team leader Princess Sally Acorn, French-accented Antoine D’Coolette, cybernetic Bunnie Rabbot, technician Rotor the Walrus, and Sally's handheld computer Nicole. Other allies like Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, and Sonic's Uncle Chuck join them in later chapters. Robotnik in turn is aided by his nephew Snively.

Robotnik meets his demise in the fiftieth issue, erased from existence by his own superweapon. An alternate version of Robotnik from a parallel world becomes the lead antagonist, first introduced as "Robo-Robotnik", but later takes on the name of Dr. Eggman. New antagonists were introduced, including the evil sorcerer Ixis Naugus; Scourge the Hedgehog, Sonic's evil counterpart from a parallel universe; and the Dark Egg Legion, a union of other factions like the Iron Dominion and the echidna-led Dark Legion. Game storylines like Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 were adapted, introducing Shadow the Hedgehog as a recurring character.

The Xorda, an extraterrestrial race whose past actions led to the creation of Mobius and evolved anthropomorphic animals, try to destroy the planet. Sonic defeats them, only to end up lost in space, but returns home a year later. Sally's father, King Maximillian, is poisoned by Antoine's evil counterpart, Patch, and hands the throne over to his son Prince Elias. For a brief time, Snively defects to the Freedom Fighters only to betray them, bombing Knothole with the Egg Fleet. The citizens are imprisoned in the Egg Grapes, but Sonic frees them. Nicole uses nanites to create New Mobotropolis. Tails’ father Amadeus tries to bring democracy to the city against the monarchy, Sally preventing a civil war by establishing the Council of Acorn, consisting of royal and public officials.

Eggman has a mental breakdown due to his failed attempts to control the planet and is temporarily institutionalized, allowing Snively and the Iron Queen, Regina Ferrum, to take over his empire, leading to a lengthy war against the Freedom Fighters. Naugus comes to rule New Mobotropolis as king, due to a deal Sally's father made with him. Eggman returns to power and sanity, unleashing the Genesis Wave, altering the world, but Sonic reverses it. Sally sacrifices herself to stop Eggman's superweapon, the World Roboticizer, and becomes a robot. The Freedom Fighters reform as Team Freedom, Team Fighters, and the Secret Freedom Fighters to combat Eggman and Naugus.

Eggman activates a second Genesis Wave, transporting himself, Sonic, and other characters into the world of Mega Man, leading to the crossover Worlds Collide. A second crossover Worlds Unite happened in 2015, featuring characters from other Sega and Capcom titles.

The original multiverse ceased to exist when Dr. Eggman launched the Super Genesis Wave in conjunction with Dr. Wily, causing the Prime Zone (Sonic's World Dimension) to be irreversibly rewritten and the multiverse surrounding it to collapse in on itself, destroying every prior known reality (with the exception of the Special Zone and the Sol Zone, Blaze's World Dimension, the latter due to the Jeweled Scepter) and creating new ones in their place.

Sonic and Dr. Eggman maintain their memories of the original continuity, which are then shared with Tails, Sally, Rotor, Antoine, Bunnie, Amy Rose, and Naugus when they make contact with Nicole. However, this world is altered by the second Genesis Wave and Earth is split apart, awakening Dark Gaia, leading to the events of Sonic Unleashed. The comic also introduces Naugus’ sister Wendy, a witch who pledges allegiance to Eggman and plots to gain the Cacophonic Conch.

Spin-offs and other related seriesEdit

The series was originally published as a four issue mini-series, with the first issue labeled as "issue 0". At the end of the fourth issue of the series, it was announced that Sonic would return in a regular series, and the next issue was published as "issue 1" of the regular series.

Alongside the main Sonic series, Archie Comics published various special issues. Longer than typical issues of the comic, these specials feature stories involving Sonic and other related characters. Several miniseries have also been published, featuring characters such as Sally Acorn, Tails and Knuckles.

Because of the popularity of the specials and Miniseries featuring Knuckles, in 1997, Knuckles the Echidna became an ongoing series. Knuckles' stories featured its own cast of characters, including the Chaotix. In 2000, the series was cancelled, but the stories were continued in the pages of Sonic the Hedgehog until it was phased out completely by Sonic issue 125. In this form, a typical issue of Sonic included a Sonic story and a second, shorter Knuckles story afterwards, though eventually this phased out as well.

To allow for stories that focused more on side characters than primarily on Sonic-most notably the other characters featured in the Sega games-the Sonic Universe comic line was introduced. This series has included a wide range of characters previously introduced in other comic issues, as well as allowing for the introduction of additional characters to the comic cast. Typically, the series is broken up into four-issue long story arcs focusing on a select character or group of characters, though one-issue stories have also been released.

Archie has also produced two Sonic series based on other branches of the Sonic franchise, namely the Sonic X anime and the Sonic Boom cartoon. The Sonic X series began in September 2005, and ended after forty issues in January 2009, the last of which featured a crossover story with the main Sonic the Hedgehog series that served as a prequel to the first Sonic Universe issue. The Sonic Boom line began in October 2014, and was later incorporated into Worlds Unite before concluding with its eleventh issue in September 2015.

The Archie Sonic series has also produced several Free Comic Book Day issues, which typically feature either reprints of older issues or new stories that fit into the series continuity. Since 2013 these issues have served as a combination free comic special with the Mega Man series; a free Sonic issue serving as a prequel to Sonic Lost World was also released in 2013 for Halloween Comic Fest. Various compilations have also been put together, such as the Sonic Saga Series, Sonic Archives and Knuckles Archives, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Universe and standalone graphic novels, Sonic Legacy, Best of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Super Digest and Sonic Super Special Magazine. Following Worlds Collide the latter two series and the Free Comic Book Day issues began featuring stories in a series entitled "Sonic Comic Origins", which detailed the histories of various characters in the post-reboot continuity.

A short, three panel comic strip similar to those found in a newspaper at the end of some issues called Off-Panel. It was originally found in the main series of comics, and was later continued in the spinoff series Sonic Universe. Earlier strips involved fictional version of staff interacting with comic characters, while later strips removed this element, it always retains elements of comical gags relating to the issues main story, often containing fourth wall breaking.

CharactersEdit

The comic book has had a large cast of characters, primarily originating from the video games, the 1993 animated series, and other media. A number of characters were created by various writers including Ken Penders, Ian Flynn, Michael Gallagher, Karl Bollers, Scott Fulop, and Dan Slott. Following Penders' lawsuits against Sega and Electronic Arts, and later against Archie Comics, the continuity of the comic was rebooted into a new timeline, removing most of the characters created by previous writers, save Flynn. Due to the large cast, only major and recurring characters are included in this section.
