Dan.. I wondering if you had gotten some e-mail I had sent earlier.
I had made a few comments about things on this list and so far I haven't
gotten any replies nor do I see any changes based on what I commented on.
I might as well post them here (at least the parts I remember)

By the way.. Antoine has a last name.
"Antoine D'Coolette" was refered to several times in the early Archie comics.
I haven't been able to track down the 'last' time this was used though.

I've never heard anything stating she was supposed to be a chipmunk. I was
wondering who had said this. [Okay, she does look a bit like a chipmunk]

They didn't waste any time. The first 'Sally Acorn' reference I saw was
in the very first issue Sonic Miniseries #0 [Mar 93].

About the Sally Miniseries:
  You stated that they were going to start shipping it Feb 13 yet I got my
copy about a week before this date. Hrm.

> [CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME]

I was working on a summary of the comics (starting from Miniseries 0)..
As per some folks suggestions I'm including credits and plot summaries.
Oig. It taking longer than I had figured it would. I'm only up to issue
#3 of the regular series.
