"Something Fishy" is the second story. It starts off with Sonic fishing, eventually catching a Jaws. Realizing that Robotnik is up to no good, he chases the Jaws underwater to discover a cave (in the comics, Sonic can not only swim, but can also apparently stay under for long periods of time). Well, that turns out to be a trap, as Sonic gets caught in a net which is carrying him to an underwater roboticizer (the "Waterproof Robot Maker"). Meanwhile, Rotor and Tails arrive at the dock to find it destroyed and Sonic missing, so they need to head into the water to find out what happened to Sonic. Rotor's Bathysphere debuts here (the FF's submarine, which Tails comments, "Now that's what I call a Sub-Plot!"). These jokes aren't going away anytime soon folks. Sonic uses a Sonic Spin to break out of the net, but it causes him to use up all his air, so now he's drowning. Comment from Jaws, "Aww, you'd break my heart...if I had one!" Oh snap. You know what happens next: Rotor and Tails show up just in time to blast Jaws away, and the air bubbles produced from the submarine allow Sonic to get his air back. One Sonic Spin later, and the Robot Maker is destroyed, day is saved. Rotor suggests it's time for lunch, and Sonic gives us the ending punchline, "Okay, but let's do chili dogs...I've lost my taste for seafood!"
Last ministories: The first has Rotor telling us about characters that are slow, which leads to this: "But if you think I'm slow, check the speed of this anti-pollution bill as it goes through Congress!" GJ sending a environmental message to us Rotor. The second is Sonic playing doubles tennis by himself, cause he's so fast. The third is old photographs of Sonic as a kid, all of which just have him running really fast.
This issue wasn't as good as the first. Run Sally Run was a good story, but it went downhill from there, and the ministories were lame. Hopefully they'll rebound next time.
