       Hrm...odd thing about Archie's ages--they maintain that Sally and
Sonic are 15, but in the lead-in story to the Princess Sally miniseries,
we see a panel where her mentor (sorry--I don't have the issues with me
at the keyboard, and I can't remember the titles or names off the top of
my head) mentions being at her commencement ball--and that same panel has
Sally dancing with Sonic. Unless Mobius uses a vastly different system
than Earth, shouldn't Sally be at least 16 (though I may be getting this
'commencement ball' confused with something else, I'm going on the
assumption that its the same thing as a debutante ball or a coming-out
party)? All things considered, I'd put Sally and Sonic as being 19,
maybe very early 20's, Antoine being maybe a bit older, Bunnie and Rotor
being a couple of years younger than S&S, and Tails being about 13, given
actions and attitudes. How much time has passed between that ball and
current day, anyway? For that matter, how long *has* it been since Robo
took over??
