I don't expect this to be a particularly long thread, but I just wondered what your favourite background events were throughout STC and STC-O, the ones you might not necessarily have noticed on the first time of reading.
I've just been re-reading The Ghost Ship and I was tickled some of the snippets involving Simpson. The best started in the first part and continued to the next; Simpson's painting something and using his thumb as a scale measurement. Over in the Emerald Chamber, Simpson drags his painting and over to Filch, who gives it some careful thought. And - it's a painting of Simpson's thumb! Which promptly gets smashed over his head.
Dobbyn did a brilliant job with that, whether he came up with it or the other Nigel did. But he's not the only one. Anyone else got a particularly memorable background event, funny, nostalgic or otherwise?

Also from The Ghost Ship - Simpson's eyes come out of his sockets as he stares at the idol, and Knuckles is recoiling in horror at this freak of nature.

In one of the Tails stories, I believe.... there's a fish in a spacesuit filled with water. I found that pretty funny.
Can't think of any more right now...
Ooh yeah, I remember Stiv putting something dodgy funny in the Ristar strip...

So Stiv told me the other day that it was supposed to be the pair having a dance rehearsal or something of the sort. Sure Stiv. Suuuuure.  |

They were. Clearly they're making a music video for NIИ, The Fragile, CD 2, Track 6.

The little cameos of Ray. I wonder if he will ever be a major (and most likely evil) character?

Why would he even be EVIL ? What's with your obsession with "X character turns evil" ?!

Why haven't you suggested Tails turn evil. I've always been suspicious of that two-tailed little brighter.

Ray. Evil? Yes, Yes... I can see it now... [Sonic, defeated, looks up as the robot suit opens up.]  It is I, RAY the Flying Squirrel... Sonic: But Ray... you were the... [Ray then curbstomps Sonic] |

The recent issues have been a joy for cameo-hunters like me, and have some quite cool looking extras (namely "Trish", but a few others made me smile). Not to mention how at least one background element became relevant later.
