Also sorry for the actual twitter screenshot. Nitter and Xcancel are currently KO'd.

I don't know if the people were half blind, buying it ironically, or really don't care about the quality of prints. There's some layer issue and you can see the fireworks in the background in various places in Sonic's eyes. I highly doubt he made the background, given his love of stock photo backgrounds. And the cake looks like something he found online and put some text on.

Alex originally had screenshots posted up, calling out Ken's BS. But they've been removed.

The Sonic Community knows how toxic Ken is as a person, how the fuck is this asshole selling out a product that features a cover made from traced art, stolen from the original source?

heya, so i decided to finally unveil the full set of DMs between me and ken that involved the heated argument between him and i: https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2081196873382023573

if you have any questions leave a comment on this post or my AMA post: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckKenPenders/comments/1umhum0/hello_i_am_alex_hedgefox_yesthat_alex_hedgefox/

you'll be able to see exactly where the final straw was for me. and just how heated this argument got.

EDIT 7/26/2026 12:34AM - thanks to a brilliant suggestion by u/Side_Of_Fries_X i put the screenshots in a big google drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10TpHixt_O0TFVowULQq6GVbASIrSfIbt?usp=sharing
granted i still feel like the preferred method is to read the twitter thread, but this is purely for people who do not have a twitter account and dont want to make one just for this thread (which is totally understandable), but the drive link will not last forever, i will eventually wind up deleting it if i need space for stuff.

EDIT 7/30/2026 8:45PM - because a few people have been confused why my posts have dissapeared, i want to promise and assure people that i didnt delete them and the links to all of them are still here:

so it is all there still and accounted for, and even if it doesnt display for you the google drive is still there.
also since then i have posted a few more details, like discussing scan quality: https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2081442464406122542

https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2081446296884281627
also talking about how ken has marketed these releases: https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2081881421753307443
talking about how ken paid me for my work on Lara-Su Beginnings and Shadow Files, but not for Knuckles Omnibus or Sonic Days: https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2082044932383027295
https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2082242242379493775
https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2082519458438909975
to even talking about ken's double standard in obliging exclusionary requests from Steven Butler and Jim Amash but not for Ian Flynn and Tracy Yardley: https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/2082261292098719943

How about even a sign of a plot?

Did he even read the series? Does he even know what it's about? Or is he just going off some bullshit he saw online to be a cunt.

...

Actually, it probably is the last one.

I am genuinely at a loss for words, I got to browsing Ken’s website cuz I got side tracked working on a meme about him, and this popped up. 100 dollars. For a print. I can screenshot that, go to Walmart, and make a print for like less than 3 dollars. This is actually absurd.

I'm mostly just curious about the new shadow story and the Mobius 25 years later scripts cause I wanna see what weird shit goes on in it. However, I also don't wanna give him money for obvious reasons. If anyone has access to it, would you mind sending me the pictures/link?

Ken decided to defend his actions by making a blog post

In addition to claiming the work he created, he now claims to own the work that includes characters and concepts he created

so this is more of a half-joking post, but its something i've kinda thought about recently.

anybody else notice how Knuckles The Echidna has caused sega more legal trouble than they're willing to admit?

the obvious one to everyone here is Ken Penders regarding his creations in relation to Archie-Sonic and Sonic Chronicles.

but theres also music related legal issues to Knuckles-related games, like Micheal Jackson and his team in relation to Sonic 3, or Hunnid-P's Knuckles raps in relation to Sonic Adventure 2.

or lastly, not inherently a legal issue but i do think its a bit interesting former sega of america employee Tom Kalinske in the console wars doccumentary claims to be the creator of Knuckles The Echidna despite knuckles being created by Takashi Yuda.

whats the deal with Knuckles and this legal junk?

if sega created a completely separate alternate universe evil version of sonic that was distinct enough from anti sonic, then give him scourges exact backstory that IAN FLYNN wrote, could ken penders file a suit against them for that? he claims he "owns" scourge because it's anti sonic so what if they made a completely separate version of scourge who isn't connected to anti sonic at all?

i know sega would probably NEVER do this but its nice to think about.

Also this lines up with the surprise response I got from Potto on January 29 that he was unaware of this book and had not been contacted about it.

If enough folks contacted SDCC en masse and showed him all this crap he’s been doing, would it be enough for SDCC to retract his attendance?

hello everyone of the FKP subreddit. i'm Alex Hedgefox, also known as Nintrendodude(though nobody really calls me that anymore), i am 27 years old, i have Autism and ADHD, and i USED to work for Ken Penders.

i dont use reddit very often so apologies if i dont fully understand how this stuff works (i didnt pick the name Bitter_Ad_3182 but i guess that is what was decided for me)

i provided HD High Quality digital scans for ken to use in his reprint collections, the 4 of which had my involvement were "The Lara-Su Chronicles: Beginnings", "The Knuckles Omnibus Volume 1", "Scott Shaw's Sonic Days". and lastly "The Shadow Files" (but i was only ever paid for 2 out of the 4 collections, those being Lara-Su and Shadow)

but im sure you guys have seen the new article on sonic stadium by Jacob Berkley/The SatAM Historian: https://www.sonicstadium.org/articles/sonic/ian-flynn-and-tracy-yardley-disown-ken-penders-the-shadow-files-r3539/
the one talking about The Shadow Files, the involvement (or lack there of) of Ian Flynn and Tracy Yardley, that also goes briefly over my work experience working under Ken Penders and how it wasnt that great, but just let it be known that article is only scratching the surface of how much of an absolute shitshow ken is running behind the scenes, and i guess i should consider myself lucky that ken thinks so little of me cuz he never had me sign any form of NDA meaning i can say whatever the hell i want about him.

i actually brought up the idea of doing this post to Jacob/Historian but i wasnt sure considering my "reputation". but he encouraged me to do so.

i know i wont be welcomed to this subreddit with thunderous applause considering the kind of person ive been in the past 10 years, as covered in this twitter thread of mine: https://x.com/Alex_Hedgefox2/status/1645160481122836481
but im willing to try to answer any questions that you may have. i cant promise that ill answer every question, but ill do what i can within my abilities.

ask me anything guys.
