Yeah, some fans are trying to blame him for the controversial slap, (and call him a “Sally-hater,” and such) instead of y’know, Karl Bollers, the
one whom wrote the story.
(And ironically, fans usually blame the writer for everything, not the artist. Heck, writer Ian Flynn gets blamed for things that weren’t his fault, or were actually another writer’s fault…)
I recall seeing on the Bumbleking forums, (Ian Flynn’s now dead message board) artist Jonathan Grey admitted he’s not proud of doing art for that story, and understands why many hate it. He even feels his art for the controversial slap panel looked bad. So even he dislikes that story.
Fans forget he also did art for that “Ask ‘Ally” mini back-up story that was meant to explain, and kinda redeem Sally for that.
A “Sally-hater” wouldn’t do that, and frankly usually he draws Sally
rather cute.

I doubt they’re going to have Classic Sonic in every game now, in fact, between Generations & Forces he hasn’t appeared at all.
He’s not even in the new Olympic games, aside from sprite art.
