I think the context is someone asked Ian Flynn if Penders' characters could ever return and he probably gave a diplomatic answer like "it would be too difficult to work out a deal to do that". When what he probably really meant was "why the gently caress would we ever want to do that?"

I love the opening paragraph of that interview claiming that "few people have had as big of an impact on Sonic the Hedgehog" as Penders. In America maybe? Were the Penders-era comics even widely available outside of the US? I know that was before digital sales were a thing.

None of his characters appeared in any games or cartoons while Tangle and Whisper at least got to make an appearance in a mobile game.

Hell, I didn't even know the Archie comics existed until some cover scans and one issue were included with Sonic Gems Collection or something on the Gamecube. I was very confused when I saw them, since they weren't the comics I remembered growing up with in the UK.
