Lanolin is FINALLY given a place among the IDW Sonic cast...and it looks remarkably similar to a role filled by one of the most iconic long-lost Sonic characters out there. Have they been building up this sheep just so she could be a Sally Acorn replacement? Is it an homage? Or is there more to the character? Let's dive into it while checking out issues 57 and 58!

Archie fans when new female character release:
Can’t believe Nick would clickbait, truly this is the darkest of days
Given the mention of Sally, I want to mention how Post-SGW making the Kingdom of Acorn the setting of Sonic 1 and 2 was pretty cool.
I’ll watch this later but her design looks pretty cool from a first impression. I like her bell and the fact that they made a cute and fluffy animal look cool and kinda militaristic.
A veteran, a mercenary, and an enthusiastic Rookie. What's not to love?
I know the facial expressions have been amazing throughout the entirety of IDW’s run, but god these two issues specifically have me dying from how good & hilarious these faces have been.
When Silver is baffled like “you did MOST of that. How…” I was laughing out loud, that was such an awesome moment. Really makes me wish this was an animated series that moment would be so awesome animated and voice acted
While Lanolin is definitely her own character, it's pretty clear she's meant to fill the role Sally played as the level-headed field commander, just without all the baggage from Archie and the shipping drama. Like how Surge both is and isn't "the new Scourge," Lanolin is and isn't "the new Sally." Same function, done in a different way. I'll always hold out hope for a return of the Freedom Fighters (even though there's zero chance of it), but this is close enough for jazz.
I miss Sally and will always keep her around in my headcanon, but I don't think we need new characters written to emulate her.
THANK YOU. I SEE HER AROUND SO MUCH BUT NOBODY MENTIONS HER NAME! I'VE SEEN HER FOR MONTHS AND NEVER ONCE SEEN HER NAME UNTIL NOW
“How weird it is to pair a sheep and wolf together”
You know. Calling a sheep girl "Lanolin"
I think Lanolin is Sally's successor in the same way Starline is to Finitivus, Surge to Scourge, and Whisper to Tempo, similar in some ways but very different in others.
Tangle is a Sally clone because of similar hairstyles. Amy is a Sally clone because she has leadership skills. Lanolin is a Sally clone because she has tactical skills. Blaze is a Sally clone because she's a princess.
Idk why but that panel of Tangle rolling down the hill with her tail really makes me want to see a game with these newer characters. Idk her moments just fit so well in a game design aesthetic sense haha
R34: alright, lets get to work, folks
Beep that sheep damn it.
You know, I never considered her to be a Sally archetype...but the people who do must have some...words. Especially after all they've said about IDW Amy.
