Has Penders ever actually done anything with his lovely comic or is it just a never ending "COMING SOON GUYS (PLEASE GIVE ME MONEY AND ATTENTION)" ?

Every few months he'll tweet "I have just about finalized the [menu design]/[graphics]/[programming] for my Lara-Su app. Here is the same preview page I showed last time."
Same for once a year tweeting "I'm working on the final touch-up of the [color correction]/[audio]/[opening logo] of The Republic" about the live actions series he filmed like 10 years ago.

why does the thing have hair on top of hair?

Ken's interpretation of the echidnaEchyd'nya quills is that they're weird meat tendrils instead of keratin. This also leads to characters like Julie-Su having prosthetic robot hair.

From reading the interview, I got the impression that the interviewer loves what Penders did on Sonic, and is quite the fan.

The same author has another article about how the comics benefitted from Penders, and were ruined when Ian Flynn made them in-line with the Sega interpretations instead of sticking to the Penders style of writing. So yeah.

I have to wonder if him throwing out NFTs of Scourge/Anti-Sonic, Green Knuckles, Robo-Robotnik, and "Julie-Su AKA Shade" as his first actual potential money makers is him trying to bait Sega into taking him to court themselves over the large theoretical sum. Since his own attempted lawsuits against Sega & EA over Dark Brotherhood were dismissed multiple times meaning he currently has no legal claim to Shade, and the others are the ones most obviously derivative of Sega's brand even if he did win in Archie's case.

The Archie one always gets me. They had copies of contracts but those weren’t admissible for some reason.

IIRC Basically Ken just vehemently denied ever signing them, the original copies were lost in a fire, and so they couldn't prove they didn't photoshop his signature onto them. Even though it's improbable that everyone else that worked there signed it and only Ken had thee problem of avoiding them, working anyway, and getting forged ones later. The case was kinda stalled for a long time with the judge just being exasperated, and Sega declining to send in their own direct legal representative. Hence the ending in a settlement that Ken owned the scripts he wrote, but Archie also rebooting so they wouldn't have to pay him royalties.
