Description  OH NO............ 

Welp the cat out of the bag. Back in 97 I drew some Sonic fan art that has a cameo of Frogger  and in the late 90s I sent in a full color artwork to Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic and in 1999 on Issue 71 they posted a full colored of an ageing Frogger meeting both Sonic and Sally I dont have the original artwork but I did upload the 1997 early ink artwork here .

BTW they missed spelled my last name to CALCARO...

woah!

its great seeing your art in archie magazine's ''sonic''!!!

i mean, i always knew that you was a GREAT+skilled artist since your very early years, but still: its very impressive to see your art in archie's comic ''sonic'', nonetheless!

you always had creative ideas: i've just read about your older ''sonic movie'' idea+ your ''mario movie'' idea, and they werent only creative ideas, they were some really nicely drawn storyboards, with excellent linework, good details, accurate designs of the characters and with nice realistic poses on top of that.
i mean, you was always a very skilled artist and i will be always impressed by the high quality of your work.

and that comes from a very early fan of your work, dating from the yahoo group years, and the early VLC/FA years.
so yes, remain awesome, and keep creating epic art!
you rock!

PS: lol, i laughed when you said that they've got your name wrong in the comic... well, it happens. at least they recognized your great talent!

"BTW they missed spelled my last name from John CALCANO to John CALCARO"

A good indication of the thought and hard work put into the comic back then.

Yours by far looks the most professional on that page, and I include the actual official Sonic art in the header.
