While the source is TSSZ, the guy who reported it isn't Tristan but Ryan Bloom. I asked him about it and it seems to be legit. I'm still waiting for other reports/an official announcement before writing a Sonic Retro/SEGAbits article about it though just to be safe.
I guess that since this writer is being so open about it I guess an official announcement isn't too far off, I wonder what it looks like. Also, it being comedic doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be like AoStH. I think it's more likely that it'll be more like a modern cartoon.
