These two comics came after #018 and were out in conjunction with the publication of the results from the 2005 - and first - Sonic Wrecks Awards (SWA) also known as 'The Handies'

The special is a two parter, both parts were however started, finished and posted on the 12/07/05.

So... Part 1.

My God - Vector appears... AND SPEAKS!

Assumably, The Master was busy on shift working at The Evil Golden Arches (see #018).

Shadow I'm told likes 'Cherry Blossom' scented hair products.

Can you see the tear in Shadow's eye?

I think this is the first comic Charmy appears in and is not injured.

The New Zealand Parrot Mafia might make an appearance sometime in the SW future.
