SONIC X #3 -- It's Time For Your Quiz! Greetings, Everybody.Source: Sonic HQ
I hope you've all read Sonic X #3 by now. (And if you haven't, I'm hurt and offended! *sniff sniff*)
You may have noted that on page 8, Dr. Eggman says, "NOW PUT YOUR PENCILS DOWN, CLASS. IT'S TIME FOR YOUR POP QUIZ!"
Well, it IS time for your quiz.
As a thank you for all the help the Sonic fans around the world have been giving me, I am presenting the following quiz. E-mail your answers to dreggmanquiz@yahoo.com along with your name and mailing address. I will select my 5 favorite responses and mail an autographed copy of Sonic X #1 to the individuals whose answers entertain and amuse me the most. I will also post those five favorite responses (without the authors' full names or addresses for security reasons) [at the Mobius Forum] after I've made my selections. Please submit them via e-mail only. Answers posted on [the Mobius Forum] will not be considered. Deadline for entries is Monday, December 14, 2005. I will notify the winners via e-mail so they will know to expect their signed Sonic X #1 in the mail. There is a limit of one comic per person.
Ready? Here's the quiz. Have fun!
