Sonic the Hedgehog is arguably the best video-game-based comic series of the last three decades. It debuted in 1993 and continued for 24 years, making it the longest-running licensed comic.

Jim Carrey announced in 2022 that after the second installment of the Sonic movies, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, he was retiring - similar to Terry Bradshaw's six-word admission on retirement.
