In a quick convo with the awesome current writer of the Archie Sonic comic, Ian Flynn, on twitter, references were made to the ancient and weird Sonic concept art. Walking exclamation marks, Madonna, Eggman as a bee... one of these things had to be brought back surely? So I took it upon myself to realise Bee Eggman in a one page fanart comic filled with bee badniks and some good ol' black & yellow (black & yellow, black & yellow...)
