'''''Sonichu #0''''' is the first issue of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]'s "[[Sonichu (comic)|masterpiece]]". At this initial stage, the comic was ''almost'' entirely about [[Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]], although bits of Chris's life still managed to find their way in.

The "hand-drawn premiere issue" is a special zero issue. In the comics industry, zero issues are used as either a sales-enhancing gimmick or a special preview of work that will not truly begin until issue #1. Given that it previews nothing, which one Chris was going for is probably the former.

The comic consists of Sonichu's first three adventures. In "Sonichu's Origin," the core cast of the series is introduced as Sonichu and Rosechu are created. Then, in "Genesis of the Lovehogs," the two protagonists meet and immediately fall in love. Finally, in "Sonichu vs. Naitsirhc," our yellow hero does battle with his first real villain, who but foreshadows the challenges awaiting the hedgehogs in the following issue. Bonus material in ''Sonichu'' #0 includes various advertisements for imaginary Sonichu products, "classic" Sonichu comic strips drawn outside of the narrative of the main comic book.

Chris began working on ''Sonichu'' #0 by creating the cover on 24 November [[2004]] (although many of the classic strips predate this). He completed the primary story on 15 March [[2005]], although he was inspired by real-life events to return to this work and add the first-ever sub-episode featuring himself.

===Synopsis===
A wild male [[Pikachu]] wanders through a field until he notices catastrophic destruction five "[[Chris and English|mies]]" away in [[Station Square]], where the [[Perfect Chaos Monster]] is running rampant. He runs to the city, where he finds [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] battling the monster, using the [[Chaos Emeralds]] to transform into Super Sonic. Perfect Chaos counterattacks, hurling Sonic directly into the Pikachu, with the resulting collision causing the Chaos Emeralds' energy to mingle with that of Pikachu's, releasing a powerful [[rainbow]] (with the wrong order of colors) into the sky.

Fifteen miles away, the rainbow touches down in front of the house of (female) Pokémon trainer [[Kel]], whose female [[Raichu]] is caught in the blast. At both endpoints of the rainbow, the Pokémon affected are transformed into hedgehog-like creatures. Kel discovers that her Raichu is now pink, standing upright, wearing a red dress (somehow; as a Raichu she wore nothing), and capable of human speech. She remarks dubiously that this new species of Pokémon is "as pretty as a rose," and thus coins the name [[Rosechu]].

The former Pikachu awakens from the collision with Sonic and, failing to notice his transformation, joins Sonic in the battle against Perfect Chaos. His thunder attack defeats the monster, and the apparently blind gathering crowd mistakes him for Sonic (who has now departed until [[Sonichu 1]]) as they cheer him on. Later, after considering his new role in the universe, he names the species he has evolved into "Sonichu", in honor of his brief ally (rather than the fact that the design is an obvious plagiarism from Sonic and Pikachu, as many assume).

Cartoon CWC takes some time out of the thrilling saga of Sonichu to provide exposition about key elements of the upcoming stories, with profiles on [[CWCville]] (as Chris puts it, the "cartoon world"), Sonichu, Rosechu, Kel, [[Naitsirhc]], [[Black Sonichu]], the [[Chaotic Combo]], and [[Flame the Sunbird]]. Chris hints at the significance of [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], [[Saramah Rosechu]], and [[Wes-Li Sonichu]], and briefly mentions the villains of the series: [[Mary Lee Walsh]] and the [[Jerkops]]. The greatest attention is given to [[Chris and his ego|Christian himself]] and the fact that [[Love Quest|he needs a girlfriend]].

==Episode 2: "Genesis of the Lovehogs"==
[[Image:202-SchuRchuKissPSPWall.jpg|thumb|"Mine, and '''THE FIRST''' romantic attempt, and I did an ''AWESOME FUCKIN' JOB''"....]]
The bewildering title suggests that this is about the literal CREATION of the "Lovehogs", but it is in fact the beginning of their utterly vapid romance. [[Sonichu]] is wandering through the forest for no given reason. A week has passed since he was forcefully evolved by the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and he has found that in his larger form he cannot receive adequate sustenance from the diet of a [[Pikachu]] (which is nuts and apples). He is also overcome with a newly found sense of loneliness, being the only [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] in existence--at least, insofar as he is aware.

Just then, Sonichu notices [[Rosechu]] standing by a stream. He is [[Love Quest|instantly attracted]] to this similar species of hedgehog, and quietly '''stalks her''' as she returns to her home. Lurking in the bushes, Sonichu sees that Rosechu lives with her trainer, [[Kel]], and decides that he can [[May 2014 Facebook Posts|beg this person for food]].

Inside, Rosechu [[Stress sigh|complains]] of her own loneliness. Kel generously offers her [[Pokémon#David the Dragonite/Daisy the Dragonite|Dragonite named David]] for [[Hanky-Panky|companionship]], but Rosey dismisses the offer, claiming the Dragonite is "too big" (infer what you will). Just then Rosechu answers a knock at the door to find Sonichu [[June_2014_Facebook_Posts#Wow|panhandling for change]]. Immediately smitten, she aggressively pulls him into the cabin and has Kel cook them dinner.

Within a few days, Sonichu and Rosechu are inseparable. One night, while staring at [[the Moon]] out by the lake, they interlock tails and share their first kiss, in the first of far too many nauseating love scenes.

Given [[Christian]]'s own [[Love Quest|inability to get laid]], "Genesis of the Lovehogs" provides fascinating insight into how he believes romance is supposed to work: Boy sees girl, [[Megan|boy stalks girl for five minutes]], girl wants to have sex with boy the second she lays eyes on him.

[[Image:201-SchuAqua.jpg|thumb|THE BUN IS IN YOUR MIND]]

===Synopsis===
We find Sonichu in [[CWCville Mall]], confronting [[Naitsirhc Giovanni]] riding a [[Zapdos]] that is clutching [[Rosechu]] in its talons. When hostage negotiations fail, the battle is on, and Sonichu briefly recalls how the situation arose.

Earlier in the day, [[Kel]] took her Pokémon into town to run errands, and allowed Rosechu to go shopping with Kel's credit card. Sonichu was entrusted to restrain Rosey's [[Women's Rights|uncontrollably lavish spending]] but he quickly abandoned this duty to please his lover. Later in the food court, the couple visited a fast food restaurant; being female, the feeble Rosechu could only eat a salad, while Sonichu attempted to eat a [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|Baffler Meal]] and became sick from eating [[pickle]]s. It was at this point that Zapdos ambushed the hedgehogs, capturing Rosey.

Using standard Pokémon fighting techniques (of which Pikachu is incapable), Sonichu shows up Zapdos with his Sky Uppercut and Mega Kick. For the ''coup de grâce'', Sonichu uses Double Team to confuse Zapdos with mirages of himself; he then uses this diversion to rescue Rosey before his duplicates zap the Zapdos, defeating it. Naitsirhc recalls the Zapdos to its Poké Ball, and swears he will challenge Sonichu again before riding off on a [[Raikou]]. Chris evidently believed that a shopping mall is a perfectly natural setting for this kind of thing to occur in.

Since this is Sonichu's first public outing in which he is not mistaken for [[Sonic]], he is heralded as a hero by the people of CWCville. [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] makes his debut as a full-fledged character, and, in his capacity as the city's mayor, congratulates the yellow hedgehog.

Later, in the first of many segments that break the fourth wall, Christian and Sonichu leave the mall talking about the high quality of this issue of Sonichu, and Sonichu expresses amazement and incredulity when he learns that Christian's obvious talent has not earned him a [[boyfriend-free girl]]. Christian drives off to the [[Fashion Square Mall]] to continue his [[Love Quest]], while Sonichu morbidly admires his father's persistence in the face of certain failure. Why Sonichu refers to him as "father" when Chris was totally uninvolved in his in-universe creation, but Chris's laissez-faire relationship with the fourth wall means that Sonichu (and many ensuing characters) have inherent knowledge of their real-life genitor.

===Analysis===
[[Image:SchuComicPage25_detail.jpg|thumb|Gotta Catch 'Em All!]]
Episode 3 is a good example of early [[CWCville]]. Sonichu is just a Mary Sue for Christian to play in a Sonic-inclusive-Pokéworld. Naitsirhc's motivation is that he's ''GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL'' for his gangster father, Giovanni. Contrast this with his later incarnation, [[Reldnahc]], or Chris's enemies in the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]].

Pages 28-34 of this issue feature comic strips drawn throughout [[2004]].

# 25 years into the future, [[Sonichu]] (now evolved into [[Metonic]]), recycles a joke from [[Excel Saga]] while chopping logs. The title of the strip is by itself a recycling of "Mobius 25 Years Later", an arc from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog#Comics|Sonic comics]]
# Sonichu asks Rosechu how things are going, and she explains she's been busy "being beautiful" but confesses that she hates working so hard at it (Chris evidently believes this is all women do and think about). Sonichu demonstrates his amazing ability to listen to women and respect their feelings (hint, hint, YOUNG LADIES) until Rosey calls out [[Black Sonichu]] for stalking them - she was happy enough when Sonichu was doing it, though.
# "Christian & Sonichu vs. the Mastermind": [[Christian]] and Sonichu defeat [[Mary Lee Walsh]] with the combined power of Chris's [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and Sonichu's thunder attack.
# Sonichu and [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] rescue [[Barbara Chandler]] from [[Naitsirhc]]. Barbara is depicted characterizing Sonichu as Christian's son.
# [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] is beaten up by [[jerkops]], under orders from Mary Lee Walsh, whom the reader knows nothing about and whose motives will never be made clear. Rosechu, being female, stands around without intervening, for no clear reason. Eventually, [[Sarhamah Rosechu]] arrives to save Chris, so that he can reassure himself that he is still important in the life of a woman he cannot have sex with. This Sub-[[Sub-Episode]] is later reincorporated into [[Sub-Episode 7]], in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

[[Image:Jerkhief_my_soul_hurts.jpg|thumb|MY SOUL HURTS!]]
One year and seven months into [[Christian]]'s [[Love Quest]], he ponders his lack of progress while listening to music on his Nintendo DS. Just then, the enormously fat [[niggos|black]] [[Jerkhief]] towers over Chris, rightfully calling him out and accusing Chris of soliciting sex. Chris is outraged by this correct assessment of his actions, and valiantly defends his honor. The Jerkhief summons his [[Jerkops]] to handcuff Chris, but his keen tactical mind allows him to spot his assailant and dodge them, somehow causing a Jerkop to handcuff himself. Chris backhands another Jerkop square in the face, giving him enough breathing room to transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]].

The Jerkhief responds by summoning his Metal Armor, and a pitched battle begins. Chris-Chan uses Mega Kick, Double Team, Mirror Coat, and Thunderbolt to disarm the Jerkhief, and honorably offers mercy to his defeated foe. But the Jerkhief is without honor; defiant to the end, he fires a handgun at Chris-Chan, who uses Barrier to deflect the pitiful attack.

His enemy beaten, Chris decides to unleash his Special Ultimate Attack, the dreaded [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]]. The Jerkhief initially feels no adverse effect and rises to fight back, but the curse soon sets in; he slips on a banana peel, breaks his glasses, and learns that his wife has just divorced him over his smoking habit, taking the custody to his kids, house, and everything he owns with her (all of this somehow takes place within the brief skirmish at the mall). The Jerkhief's life is shattered, and Chris makes sure he knows that he deserved all of it. The Jerkhief cries that his soul hurts; Chris [[Chris and his Ego|responds that he's suffered worse,]] presumably referring to the soul-rending agony of being forced to stop soliciting sex on private property.

This Issa the first, though [[Sonichu 4|ce]][[Sonichu 8|rta]][[Sonichu 10|inly]] not the last time Chris would use his comic to create bizarre power fantasies in which he was [[Chris and reality|victorious in events he was not in real life]]. Sub-Episode 1, along with the other Sub-Episodes, is reprinted in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

'''''Sonichu'' #1''' is the second issue of the [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu comic]]. Unlikely as it might sound, this one is actually even more [[slow-in-the-minds|retarded]] than [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]].

Having only just created [[Sonichu]] from a [[Pokémon|Pikachu]] mutated by exposure to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and his Chaos Emeralds, Chris immediately blows his wad by jumping right into the first Sonic/Sonichu team-up. (All imaginative ten-year-olds roleplay themselves in their favorite imaginary worlds, but only Christian thinks his preteen fantasies are marketable.) It would not be until [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] that the way past cool [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] would be out of Sonic's shadow... which happens to be about the time [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Chris]] starts hogging the spotlight.

In the tradition of all great comic book crossovers, ''Sonichu'' #1 pits Sonic and Sonichu against two titanic villains, namely Sonic's archenemy [[Doctor Robotnik]] and Pokémon bad guy [[Giovanni]]. It's as if he doesn't want you to forget where he stole all this shit from. Further complicating the plot, it is made clear that last issue's villain, [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|Naitsirhc]], is indeed Giovanni's son, who acted on orders from his father to collect Sonichu's genetic code. Together, Robotnik and Giovanni would shake the foundations of CWCville by introducing its next major character, Bill the Scientist. Also, [[Blake|Black Sonichu]] or something.

===Synopsis===

[[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|Naitsirhc]] has returned to base from his battle with Sonichu in Episode 3. Although he was unable to capture Sonichu, he did obtain a sample of the [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]]'s genetic code, which was the true purpose of the mission. His father, Team Rocket leader [[Giovanni]], congratulates him for his accomplishment. Giovanni goes on to describe his recent contact with [[Doctor Robotnik|Ivo Robotnik]], who has come to share Team Rocket's fascination with Sonichu. The bane of [[Pokémon]] and the archnemesis of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] forge an alliance to create their own Sonichu to destroy the original, for no apparent reason.

While Team Rocket scientists conduct their genetic engineering, fate intervenes as [[Bill The Scientist]] accidentally spills his cherry cola into Sonichu's DNA. Unbothered by his colossal blunder, Bill places the contaminated sample into the resequencer, which quickly grows an imperfect duplicate of the original zappin' hedgehog. Naitsirhc immediately notices that the clone appears to be black in color, but is unsure of his suspicions.

Although Team Rocket immediately bombards the clone with messages intended to program its mind to serve their purposes, this new hedgehog proves willful enough to resist, perhaps due to the cherry cola mutation. Later, when the clone is deemed ready to release from stasis, the color alteration caused by the aforementioned cherry cola is undeniable. Robotnik finds [[Chris_and_art#Originality|the shadowy hedgehog]] oddly familiar; Naitsirhc seems disappointed that his pet should be black and names him "[[Blake|Black Sonichu]]."

Giovanni and Robotnik present "Blachu" a gift in the form of rocket boosters intended to increase his speed, the better to defeat Sonichu in battle. Black Sonichu is heavily briefed on Team Rocket's agenda, and on why his skin color was altered by the previously mentioned dose of cherry cola. Robotnik reports in with the latest intelligence gathered on Sonichu, providing vital details about his location, abilities, and personal relationships (despite the fact that all of this data was freely obtained in their last encounter). After rigorous training, Black Sonichu is judged to be superior to Sonichu, and ready for his mission.

[[Image:ProportionFail.jpg|thumb|Despite taking several art classes and claiming to be a brilliant artist, Chris fails at basic proportions.]]
Naitsirhc shows Black Sonichu a map of [[CWCville]] and the surrounding area, and explains the plan. Blachu's mission is to intercept Sonichu and Rosechu on their way from the [[Zapbud]] fields to [[Kel]]'s cottage near the lake and capture Rosechu; this will lure Sonichu into a trap prepared by Team Rocket and Robotnik.

Meanwhile, in the Zapbud fields, Sonichu and Rosechu have a completely meaningless conversation until Kel calls Rosechu to tell the couple that dinner is ready. While Sonichu carries Rosechu back home, [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] decides to go exploring near the same area. Coincidentally, Black Sonichu is lurking in the bushes at the exact point where Sonic and Sonichu will meet. Using the enhanced speed inborn in his race, the dark-skinned creature strikes out at his betters, and abducts the helpless, virtuous, fair-skinned woman, as is his nature. Distracted by this perfidy, Sonichu collides head-on with Sonic. At the same time, Rosechu discovers, to her utter horror, that she is no longer in the arms of a pure, cultivated man but a thuggish, black brute. She demands that he release her, but the crude, leering subhuman refuses, obligated as he is to obey his masters.

Sonic and Sonichu recover from their collision and begin to bicker until they recognize one another from the battle with the [[Perfect Chaos Monster]] where Sonichu was evolved from a Pikachu. The two heroes quickly compare notes, and agree to work together to save Rosechu in a historic team-up.

By now Black Sonichu has returned to base and Rosechu is safely imprisoned. The bars to Rosechu's cell are coated with rubber, to prevent her from destroying them with her lightning powers. Of course, there is no safeguard to prevent her from simply reaching through the bars to zap her captors, but the villains have wisely reckoned with Rosechu's [[Women's rights|simplistic female brain]] and of course fear nothing. Naitsirhc and Robotnik review their plan: Blachu will keep Sonichu preoccupied until Sonichu steps on an "X", at which point Robotnik will drop a dome over the hero to drain away his energy. Robotnik then launches into a song and dance:
[[Image:Robotnik.jpg|thumb|Puttin' on the Ritz]]
{{quote|Robotnik! Robotnik! I'm a [[Chris and anger|mad]] [[Honor roll|geinus]]! Robotnik, Robotnik! I create chaos with my machines! I'm the darkest evil, and I'm mean! I have a monkey in my robot! Wait! The monkey is a robot! I turned the animal into a robot! With a process I call robotization!!!}}

[[Christian Weston Chandler]] appears here to mock the retarded song that he himself wrote.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Sonichu have successfully tracked Black Sonichu to Team Rocket's headquarters, but someone has foolishly left a medallion near the door bearing the face of Dr. Robotnik. Sonic immediately recognizes that his old enemy is involved somehow and is now on guard for a trap. It is agreed that Sonichu will enter alone, while Sonic remains behind as backup.

Sonichu discovers Rosey, but Naitsirhc, Giovanni, and Robotnik surprise the yellow hedgehog with the arrival of Black Sonichu. A brief scuffle erupts, until Sonichu steps into position for Robotnik's dome. However, Sonic does his intervenes before Robotnik can begin the power drainage. Infuriated by Sonic, Robotnik releases his contingency plan: [[Metal Sonichu]]. Being infinitely more capable than any of Chris's characters, Sonic runs rings around Metal Sonichu, then releases Sonichu and uses the unbreakable dome to slow the mechanical hedgehog down. Sonichu and Sonic then combine forces for a Zap Cannonball attack. Metal Sonichu anticipates the attack and assumes Defense Curl to protect against it, transforming into a perfect sphere. However, this is the automaton's undoing, as the force of the Zap Cannonball attack hits Metal Sonichu like a pool cue, knocking it through a wall, straight up a mountain, and into outer space before it finally crashes into the goddamn [[The Moon|''Moon'']]. Sonichu then frees Rosechu with an electrical spin-dash. It should also be noted that Rosechu was unable to free herself at the beginning of the episode because the bars are rubber-coated; however, Sonichu ''just'' did that, so she should have been able to do that, herself, [[Rosechu (character)#Sexism|as she has similar powers to Sonichu]]. So this is either a major plot-hole, Rosechu being incredibly stupid, or simply the fact that she's a [[Women's rights|girl]].

Sonic and Sonichu mock Naitsirhc, Robotnik, and Giovanni, but when they prepare to leave Rosey balks. She turns to Black Sonichu, punching him in the face and knocking out two teeth (The miserable cur is undoubtedly elated by this opportunity to have a garish "grill" installed in his mouth.)

Meanwhile, on the Moon, [[Metal Sonichu]] is seemingly undamaged, and programmed for vengeance... eventually.

In an epilogue, we find Rosechu and [[Amy Rose]] at [[CWCville Shopping Center]], shopping for things that will make them more attractive to their male partners as [[Chris and religion|God and Jesus]] intended. In a chance encounter, the two girls run into one another, and are immediately struck by the fact they look exactly alike... and by the fact they are wearing different (and thus legally distinct) outfits. Amy and Rosey of course find they have many things in common, but being mere females they cannot hope to have a meaningful conversation about this serendipity and descend into trivial banter. Christian Chandler again interrupts the story to lightheartedly rescue us from the agony of having to listen to women talk without the promise of earning sex.

[[Image:Unlikelyprospect.jpg|thumb|Even characters Chris creates himself have a hard time believing the turn of events, given the fact Chris always fails at doing anything.]]
This legendary installment dramatizes the real-life incident in which Chris was trolled by [[Hanna|a girl at the mall]] during his [[Love Quest]].

We begin with Christian sitting in what is presumably the food court at a local mall, again contemplating his seemingly endless quest. A graphic alerts us to the fact that his [[heart level]] has not recovered fully from the last time his heart was shattered; he is currently at 20%. He resolves to resume attracting women as soon as he finishes his Chicken McNuggets, but his thoughts are interrupted by the timely arrival of a young woman named [[Hanna]]. As if she is too good to be true, she employs the same blunt protocol Chris would use, dispensing with small talk to announce that she heard Chris needs a girlfriend and that she would like to have coffee with him. Having prepared for this moment for years, Chris plays it cool and makes the date, but once Hanna is out of sight he erupts into a rainbow joygasm as his heart is repaired to 100%.

In an act of revisionism that only George Lucas could rival, Chris would later [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|replace]] the infamous "[[Obesity|fat]] man dancing in a [[Homos|gay]] [[rainbow]] vortex" version of this page with a new one, in which he is depicted outside the gates of Heaven, as though he jumped for joy so high he had rocketed briefly into the stratosphere.

Seconds after his return from the rainbow vortex (or Heaven), Chris is at Starbucks for the date that won't occur for another fifteen minutes. He is elated beyond belief, and eagerly shares his joy with Rosechu, who is--as ever--shopping at the mall and gossiping to her friends. Later, when Hanna arrives and greetings are exchanged, Chris pulls out pen and paper and takes detailed notes as he asks her about her hobbies. He learns that Hanna enjoys playing guitar and reading Chuck Paladuck. Hanna quickly finds the key to Chris's heart by asking about his [[Sonichu medallion]] and [[Scrapbook of Fail]]. At the conclusion of this date, Chris makes sure to give Hanna what is described as a "Double-Take" flirt, which sounds like something that Chris would do in a painfully awkward manner.

Later, while Chris is loitering in the mall telling his mother that he talked to a girl, Rosechu overhears Hanna and her friends talking about how Hanna was pretending to like Chris as a prank conceived by her boss. For a moment Rosechu is left aghast by her dilemma, but like all women she is innately purehearted and good, so she makes the right choice to tell Chris the unfortunate truth. When she finds him, he is looking up pick-up lines on ''[[Sprung]]'' to use on Hanna (which makes no sense because he has already picked her up). It is difficult for Rosechu to break the news, and even more difficult for Chris to accept it. Outraged, he rushes off to confront Hanna, demanding the truth. Hanna admits that she was only faking, but is nevertheless upset about the deception, as no woman truly wants to harm Christian Chandler. But Chris pushes on, insisting that she must have nonetheless come to appreciate him during their mini-date. Hanna's answer is stark and unyielding: "No."

His heart shattered back down to 15%, Chris calmly excuses himself, then cries out in anguish:

{{quote|NOOOOOOOOO!!!}}

Undaunted in the face of abject defeat, Chris composes a heartfelt email to Hanna, making sure she is aware of the emotional pain she has caused him while also making sure she knows he'll take her back as long as she doesn't smoke and doesn't already have a boyfriend. In closing, Christian points out that he was in [[honor roll]], dammit, so she should totally want to swallow his [[Navy|comeuppance]].

==2015 Revisions==
On 20 [[October 2015]], Chris uploaded to [[Facebook]] 15 revised pages of Sonichu #1 which replaced Robotnik with a new character, Ren Skysoar, who "followed in Robotnik's footsteps." No other changes seem to have been made. This was in keeping with his renewed attention to his comic in this year and his [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|retcons]] of other issues. Characteristically, he missed at least one reference to Robotnik.

On 28 October, more radically, Chris posted two new conclusionary pages to this issue which presumably indicate that Sonic and Amy Rose were not in fact TRUE and HONEST, but actually avatars of intersex [[Silvana]], who was acting in the nefarious service of [[Slaweel]] and [[Count Graduon]].

'''''Sonichu #0''''' is the first issue of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]'s "[[Sonichu (comic)|masterpiece]]". At this initial stage, the comic was ''almost'' entirely about [[Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]], although bits of Chris's life still managed to find their way in.

The "hand-drawn premiere issue" is a special zero issue. In the comics industry, zero issues are used as either a sales-enhancing gimmick or a special preview of work that will not truly begin until issue #1. Given that it previews nothing, which one Chris was going for is probably the former.

The comic consists of Sonichu's first three adventures. In "Sonichu's Origin," the core cast of the series is introduced as Sonichu and Rosechu are created. Then, in "Genesis of the Lovehogs," the two protagonists meet and immediately fall in love. Finally, in "Sonichu vs. Naitsirhc," our yellow hero does battle with his first real villain, who but foreshadows the challenges awaiting the hedgehogs in the following issue. Bonus material in ''Sonichu'' #0 includes various advertisements for imaginary Sonichu products, "classic" Sonichu comic strips drawn outside of the narrative of the main comic book.

Chris began working on ''Sonichu'' #0 by creating the cover on 24 November [[2004]] (although many of the classic strips predate this). He completed the primary story on 15 March [[2005]], although he was inspired by real-life events to return to this work and add the first-ever sub-episode featuring himself.

===Synopsis===
A wild male [[Pikachu]] wanders through a field until he notices catastrophic destruction five "[[Chris and English|mies]]" away in [[Station Square]], where the [[Perfect Chaos Monster]] is running rampant. He runs to the city, where he finds [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] battling the monster, using the [[Chaos Emeralds]] to transform into Super Sonic. Perfect Chaos counterattacks, hurling Sonic directly into the Pikachu, with the resulting collision causing the Chaos Emeralds' energy to mingle with that of Pikachu's, releasing a powerful [[rainbow]] (with the wrong order of colors) into the sky.

Fifteen miles away, the rainbow touches down in front of the house of (female) Pokémon trainer [[Kel]], whose female [[Raichu]] is caught in the blast. At both endpoints of the rainbow, the Pokémon affected are transformed into hedgehog-like creatures. Kel discovers that her Raichu is now pink, standing upright, wearing a red dress (somehow; as a Raichu she wore nothing), and capable of human speech. She remarks dubiously that this new species of Pokémon is "as pretty as a rose," and thus coins the name [[Rosechu]].

The former Pikachu awakens from the collision with Sonic and, failing to notice his transformation, joins Sonic in the battle against Perfect Chaos. His thunder attack defeats the monster, and the apparently blind gathering crowd mistakes him for Sonic (who has now departed until [[Sonichu 1]]) as they cheer him on. Later, after considering his new role in the universe, he names the species he has evolved into "Sonichu", in honor of his brief ally (rather than the fact that the design is an obvious plagiarism from Sonic and Pikachu, as many assume).

Cartoon CWC takes some time out of the thrilling saga of Sonichu to provide exposition about key elements of the upcoming stories, with profiles on [[CWCville]] (as Chris puts it, the "cartoon world"), Sonichu, Rosechu, Kel, [[Naitsirhc]], [[Black Sonichu]], the [[Chaotic Combo]], and [[Flame the Sunbird]]. Chris hints at the significance of [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], [[Saramah Rosechu]], and [[Wes-Li Sonichu]], and briefly mentions the villains of the series: [[Mary Lee Walsh]] and the [[Jerkops]]. The greatest attention is given to [[Chris and his ego|Christian himself]] and the fact that [[Love Quest|he needs a girlfriend]].

==Episode 2: "Genesis of the Lovehogs"==
[[Image:202-SchuRchuKissPSPWall.jpg|thumb|"Mine, and '''THE FIRST''' romantic attempt, and I did an ''AWESOME FUCKIN' JOB''"....]]
The bewildering title suggests that this is about the literal CREATION of the "Lovehogs", but it is in fact the beginning of their utterly vapid romance. [[Sonichu]] is wandering through the forest for no given reason. A week has passed since he was forcefully evolved by the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and he has found that in his larger form he cannot receive adequate sustenance from the diet of a [[Pikachu]] (which is nuts and apples). He is also overcome with a newly found sense of loneliness, being the only [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] in existence--at least, insofar as he is aware.

Just then, Sonichu notices [[Rosechu]] standing by a stream. He is [[Love Quest|instantly attracted]] to this similar species of hedgehog, and quietly '''stalks her''' as she returns to her home. Lurking in the bushes, Sonichu sees that Rosechu lives with her trainer, [[Kel]], and decides that he can [[May 2014 Facebook Posts|beg this person for food]].

Inside, Rosechu [[Stress sigh|complains]] of her own loneliness. Kel generously offers her [[Pokémon#David the Dragonite/Daisy the Dragonite|Dragonite named David]] for [[Hanky-Panky|companionship]], but Rosey dismisses the offer, claiming the Dragonite is "too big" (infer what you will). Just then Rosechu answers a knock at the door to find Sonichu [[June_2014_Facebook_Posts#Wow|panhandling for change]]. Immediately smitten, she aggressively pulls him into the cabin and has Kel cook them dinner.

Within a few days, Sonichu and Rosechu are inseparable. One night, while staring at [[the Moon]] out by the lake, they interlock tails and share their first kiss, in the first of far too many nauseating love scenes.

Given [[Christian]]'s own [[Love Quest|inability to get laid]], "Genesis of the Lovehogs" provides fascinating insight into how he believes romance is supposed to work: Boy sees girl, [[Megan|boy stalks girl for five minutes]], girl wants to have sex with boy the second she lays eyes on him.

[[Image:201-SchuAqua.jpg|thumb|THE BUN IS IN YOUR MIND]]

===Synopsis===
We find Sonichu in [[CWCville Mall]], confronting [[Naitsirhc Giovanni]] riding a [[Zapdos]] that is clutching [[Rosechu]] in its talons. When hostage negotiations fail, the battle is on, and Sonichu briefly recalls how the situation arose.

Earlier in the day, [[Kel]] took her Pokémon into town to run errands, and allowed Rosechu to go shopping with Kel's credit card. Sonichu was entrusted to restrain Rosey's [[Women's Rights|uncontrollably lavish spending]] but he quickly abandoned this duty to please his lover. Later in the food court, the couple visited a fast food restaurant; being female, the feeble Rosechu could only eat a salad, while Sonichu attempted to eat a [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|Baffler Meal]] and became sick from eating [[pickle]]s. It was at this point that Zapdos ambushed the hedgehogs, capturing Rosey.

Using standard Pokémon fighting techniques (of which Pikachu is incapable), Sonichu shows up Zapdos with his Sky Uppercut and Mega Kick. For the ''coup de grâce'', Sonichu uses Double Team to confuse Zapdos with mirages of himself; he then uses this diversion to rescue Rosey before his duplicates zap the Zapdos, defeating it. Naitsirhc recalls the Zapdos to its Poké Ball, and swears he will challenge Sonichu again before riding off on a [[Raikou]]. Chris evidently believed that a shopping mall is a perfectly natural setting for this kind of thing to occur in.

Since this is Sonichu's first public outing in which he is not mistaken for [[Sonic]], he is heralded as a hero by the people of CWCville. [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] makes his debut as a full-fledged character, and, in his capacity as the city's mayor, congratulates the yellow hedgehog.

Later, in the first of many segments that break the fourth wall, Christian and Sonichu leave the mall talking about the high quality of this issue of Sonichu, and Sonichu expresses amazement and incredulity when he learns that Christian's obvious talent has not earned him a [[boyfriend-free girl]]. Christian drives off to the [[Fashion Square Mall]] to continue his [[Love Quest]], while Sonichu morbidly admires his father's persistence in the face of certain failure. Why Sonichu refers to him as "father" when Chris was totally uninvolved in his in-universe creation, but Chris's laissez-faire relationship with the fourth wall means that Sonichu (and many ensuing characters) have inherent knowledge of their real-life genitor.

===Analysis===
[[Image:SchuComicPage25_detail.jpg|thumb|Gotta Catch 'Em All!]]
Episode 3 is a good example of early [[CWCville]]. Sonichu is just a Mary Sue for Christian to play in a Sonic-inclusive-Pokéworld. Naitsirhc's motivation is that he's ''GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL'' for his gangster father, Giovanni. Contrast this with his later incarnation, [[Reldnahc]], or Chris's enemies in the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]].

Pages 28-34 of this issue feature comic strips drawn throughout [[2004]].

# 25 years into the future, [[Sonichu]] (now evolved into [[Metonic]]), recycles a joke from [[Excel Saga]] while chopping logs. The title of the strip is by itself a recycling of "Mobius 25 Years Later", an arc from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog#Comics|Sonic comics]]
# Sonichu asks Rosechu how things are going, and she explains she's been busy "being beautiful" but confesses that she hates working so hard at it (Chris evidently believes this is all women do and think about). Sonichu demonstrates his amazing ability to listen to women and respect their feelings (hint, hint, YOUNG LADIES) until Rosey calls out [[Black Sonichu]] for stalking them - she was happy enough when Sonichu was doing it, though.
# "Christian & Sonichu vs. the Mastermind": [[Christian]] and Sonichu defeat [[Mary Lee Walsh]] with the combined power of Chris's [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and Sonichu's thunder attack.
# Sonichu and [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] rescue [[Barbara Chandler]] from [[Naitsirhc]]. Barbara is depicted characterizing Sonichu as Christian's son.
# [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] is beaten up by [[jerkops]], under orders from Mary Lee Walsh, whom the reader knows nothing about and whose motives will never be made clear. Rosechu, being female, stands around without intervening, for no clear reason. Eventually, [[Sarhamah Rosechu]] arrives to save Chris, so that he can reassure himself that he is still important in the life of a woman he cannot have sex with. This Sub-[[Sub-Episode]] is later reincorporated into [[Sub-Episode 7]], in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

[[Image:Jerkhief_my_soul_hurts.jpg|thumb|MY SOUL HURTS!]]
One year and seven months into [[Christian]]'s [[Love Quest]], he ponders his lack of progress while listening to music on his Nintendo DS. Just then, the enormously fat [[niggos|black]] [[Jerkhief]] towers over Chris, rightfully calling him out and accusing Chris of soliciting sex. Chris is outraged by this correct assessment of his actions, and valiantly defends his honor. The Jerkhief summons his [[Jerkops]] to handcuff Chris, but his keen tactical mind allows him to spot his assailant and dodge them, somehow causing a Jerkop to handcuff himself. Chris backhands another Jerkop square in the face, giving him enough breathing room to transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]].

The Jerkhief responds by summoning his Metal Armor, and a pitched battle begins. Chris-Chan uses Mega Kick, Double Team, Mirror Coat, and Thunderbolt to disarm the Jerkhief, and honorably offers mercy to his defeated foe. But the Jerkhief is without honor; defiant to the end, he fires a handgun at Chris-Chan, who uses Barrier to deflect the pitiful attack.

His enemy beaten, Chris decides to unleash his Special Ultimate Attack, the dreaded [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]]. The Jerkhief initially feels no adverse effect and rises to fight back, but the curse soon sets in; he slips on a banana peel, breaks his glasses, and learns that his wife has just divorced him over his smoking habit, taking the custody to his kids, house, and everything he owns with her (all of this somehow takes place within the brief skirmish at the mall). The Jerkhief's life is shattered, and Chris makes sure he knows that he deserved all of it. The Jerkhief cries that his soul hurts; Chris [[Chris and his Ego|responds that he's suffered worse,]] presumably referring to the soul-rending agony of being forced to stop soliciting sex on private property.

This Issa the first, though [[Sonichu 4|ce]][[Sonichu 8|rta]][[Sonichu 10|inly]] not the last time Chris would use his comic to create bizarre power fantasies in which he was [[Chris and reality|victorious in events he was not in real life]]. Sub-Episode 1, along with the other Sub-Episodes, is reprinted in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

'''''Sonichu #0''''' is the first issue of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]'s "[[Sonichu (comic)|masterpiece]]". At this initial stage, the comic was ''almost'' entirely about [[Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]], although bits of Chris's life still managed to find their way in.

The "hand-drawn premiere issue" is a special zero issue. In the comics industry, zero issues are used as either a sales-enhancing gimmick or a special preview of work that will not truly begin until issue #1. Given that it previews nothing, which one Chris was going for is probably the former.

The comic consists of Sonichu's first three adventures. In "Sonichu's Origin," the core cast of the series is introduced as Sonichu and Rosechu are created. Then, in "Genesis of the Lovehogs," the two protagonists meet and immediately fall in love. Finally, in "Sonichu vs. Naitsirhc," our yellow hero does battle with his first real villain, who but foreshadows the challenges awaiting the hedgehogs in the following issue. Bonus material in ''Sonichu'' #0 includes various advertisements for imaginary Sonichu products, "classic" Sonichu comic strips drawn outside of the narrative of the main comic book.

Chris began working on ''Sonichu'' #0 by creating the cover on 24 November [[2004]] (although many of the classic strips predate this). He completed the primary story on 15 March [[2005]], although he was inspired by real-life events to return to this work and add the first-ever sub-episode featuring himself.

===Synopsis===
A wild male [[Pikachu]] wanders through a field until he notices catastrophic destruction five "[[Chris and English|mies]]" away in [[Station Square]], where the [[Perfect Chaos Monster]] is running rampant. He runs to the city, where he finds [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] battling the monster, using the [[Chaos Emeralds]] to transform into Super Sonic. Perfect Chaos counterattacks, hurling Sonic directly into the Pikachu, with the resulting collision causing the Chaos Emeralds' energy to mingle with that of Pikachu's, releasing a powerful [[rainbow]] (with the wrong order of colors) into the sky.

Fifteen miles away, the rainbow touches down in front of the house of (female) Pokémon trainer [[Kel]], whose female [[Raichu]] is caught in the blast. At both endpoints of the rainbow, the Pokémon affected are transformed into hedgehog-like creatures. Kel discovers that her Raichu is now pink, standing upright, wearing a red dress (somehow; as a Raichu she wore nothing), and capable of human speech. She remarks dubiously that this new species of Pokémon is "as pretty as a rose," and thus coins the name [[Rosechu]].

The former Pikachu awakens from the collision with Sonic and, failing to notice his transformation, joins Sonic in the battle against Perfect Chaos. His thunder attack defeats the monster, and the apparently blind gathering crowd mistakes him for Sonic (who has now departed until [[Sonichu 1]]) as they cheer him on. Later, after considering his new role in the universe, he names the species he has evolved into "Sonichu", in honor of his brief ally (rather than the fact that the design is an obvious plagiarism from Sonic and Pikachu, as many assume).

Cartoon CWC takes some time out of the thrilling saga of Sonichu to provide exposition about key elements of the upcoming stories, with profiles on [[CWCville]] (as Chris puts it, the "cartoon world"), Sonichu, Rosechu, Kel, [[Naitsirhc]], [[Black Sonichu]], the [[Chaotic Combo]], and [[Flame the Sunbird]]. Chris hints at the significance of [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], [[Saramah Rosechu]], and [[Wes-Li Sonichu]], and briefly mentions the villains of the series: [[Mary Lee Walsh]] and the [[Jerkops]]. The greatest attention is given to [[Chris and his ego|Christian himself]] and the fact that [[Love Quest|he needs a girlfriend]].

==Episode 2: "Genesis of the Lovehogs"==
[[Image:202-SchuRchuKissPSPWall.jpg|thumb|"Mine, and '''THE FIRST''' romantic attempt, and I did an ''AWESOME FUCKIN' JOB''"....]]
The bewildering title suggests that this is about the literal CREATION of the "Lovehogs", but it is in fact the beginning of their utterly vapid romance. [[Sonichu]] is wandering through the forest for no given reason. A week has passed since he was forcefully evolved by the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and he has found that in his larger form he cannot receive adequate sustenance from the diet of a [[Pikachu]] (which is nuts and apples). He is also overcome with a newly found sense of loneliness, being the only [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] in existence--at least, insofar as he is aware.

Just then, Sonichu notices [[Rosechu]] standing by a stream. He is [[Love Quest|instantly attracted]] to this similar species of hedgehog, and quietly '''stalks her''' as she returns to her home. Lurking in the bushes, Sonichu sees that Rosechu lives with her trainer, [[Kel]], and decides that he can [[May 2014 Facebook Posts|beg this person for food]].

Inside, Rosechu [[Stress sigh|complains]] of her own loneliness. Kel generously offers her [[Pokémon#David the Dragonite/Daisy the Dragonite|Dragonite named David]] for [[Hanky-Panky|companionship]], but Rosey dismisses the offer, claiming the Dragonite is "too big" (infer what you will). Just then Rosechu answers a knock at the door to find Sonichu [[June_2014_Facebook_Posts#Wow|panhandling for change]]. Immediately smitten, she aggressively pulls him into the cabin and has Kel cook them dinner.

Within a few days, Sonichu and Rosechu are inseparable. One night, while staring at [[the Moon]] out by the lake, they interlock tails and share their first kiss, in the first of far too many nauseating love scenes.

Given [[Christian]]'s own [[Love Quest|inability to get laid]], "Genesis of the Lovehogs" provides fascinating insight into how he believes romance is supposed to work: Boy sees girl, [[Megan|boy stalks girl for five minutes]], girl wants to have sex with boy the second she lays eyes on him.

[[Image:201-SchuAqua.jpg|thumb|THE BUN IS IN YOUR MIND]]

===Synopsis===
We find Sonichu in [[CWCville Mall]], confronting [[Naitsirhc Giovanni]] riding a [[Zapdos]] that is clutching [[Rosechu]] in its talons. When hostage negotiations fail, the battle is on, and Sonichu briefly recalls how the situation arose.

Earlier in the day, [[Kel]] took her Pokémon into town to run errands, and allowed Rosechu to go shopping with Kel's credit card. Sonichu was entrusted to restrain Rosey's [[Women's Rights|uncontrollably lavish spending]] but he quickly abandoned this duty to please his lover. Later in the food court, the couple visited a fast food restaurant; being female, the feeble Rosechu could only eat a salad, while Sonichu attempted to eat a [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|Baffler Meal]] and became sick from eating [[pickle]]s. It was at this point that Zapdos ambushed the hedgehogs, capturing Rosey.

Using standard Pokémon fighting techniques (of which Pikachu is incapable), Sonichu shows up Zapdos with his Sky Uppercut and Mega Kick. For the ''coup de grâce'', Sonichu uses Double Team to confuse Zapdos with mirages of himself; he then uses this diversion to rescue Rosey before his duplicates zap the Zapdos, defeating it. Naitsirhc recalls the Zapdos to its Poké Ball, and swears he will challenge Sonichu again before riding off on a [[Raikou]]. Chris evidently believed that a shopping mall is a perfectly natural setting for this kind of thing to occur in.

Since this is Sonichu's first public outing in which he is not mistaken for [[Sonic]], he is heralded as a hero by the people of CWCville. [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] makes his debut as a full-fledged character, and, in his capacity as the city's mayor, congratulates the yellow hedgehog.

Later, in the first of many segments that break the fourth wall, Christian and Sonichu leave the mall talking about the high quality of this issue of Sonichu, and Sonichu expresses amazement and incredulity when he learns that Christian's obvious talent has not earned him a [[boyfriend-free girl]]. Christian drives off to the [[Fashion Square Mall]] to continue his [[Love Quest]], while Sonichu morbidly admires his father's persistence in the face of certain failure. Why Sonichu refers to him as "father" when Chris was totally uninvolved in his in-universe creation, but Chris's laissez-faire relationship with the fourth wall means that Sonichu (and many ensuing characters) have inherent knowledge of their real-life genitor.

===Analysis===
[[Image:SchuComicPage25_detail.jpg|thumb|Gotta Catch 'Em All!]]
Episode 3 is a good example of early [[CWCville]]. Sonichu is just a Mary Sue for Christian to play in a Sonic-inclusive-Pokéworld. Naitsirhc's motivation is that he's ''GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL'' for his gangster father, Giovanni. Contrast this with his later incarnation, [[Reldnahc]], or Chris's enemies in the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]].

Pages 28-34 of this issue feature comic strips drawn throughout [[2004]].

# 25 years into the future, [[Sonichu]] (now evolved into [[Metonic]]), recycles a joke from [[Excel Saga]] while chopping logs. The title of the strip is by itself a recycling of "Mobius 25 Years Later", an arc from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog#Comics|Sonic comics]]
# Sonichu asks Rosechu how things are going, and she explains she's been busy "being beautiful" but confesses that she hates working so hard at it (Chris evidently believes this is all women do and think about). Sonichu demonstrates his amazing ability to listen to women and respect their feelings (hint, hint, YOUNG LADIES) until Rosey calls out [[Black Sonichu]] for stalking them - she was happy enough when Sonichu was doing it, though.
# "Christian & Sonichu vs. the Mastermind": [[Christian]] and Sonichu defeat [[Mary Lee Walsh]] with the combined power of Chris's [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and Sonichu's thunder attack.
# Sonichu and [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] rescue [[Barbara Chandler]] from [[Naitsirhc]]. Barbara is depicted characterizing Sonichu as Christian's son.
# [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] is beaten up by [[jerkops]], under orders from Mary Lee Walsh, whom the reader knows nothing about and whose motives will never be made clear. Rosechu, being female, stands around without intervening, for no clear reason. Eventually, [[Sarhamah Rosechu]] arrives to save Chris, so that he can reassure himself that he is still important in the life of a woman he cannot have sex with. This Sub-[[Sub-Episode]] is later reincorporated into [[Sub-Episode 7]], in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

[[Image:Jerkhief_my_soul_hurts.jpg|thumb|MY SOUL HURTS!]]
One year and seven months into [[Christian]]'s [[Love Quest]], he ponders his lack of progress while listening to music on his Nintendo DS. Just then, the enormously fat [[niggos|black]] [[Jerkhief]] towers over Chris, rightfully calling him out and accusing Chris of soliciting sex. Chris is outraged by this correct assessment of his actions, and valiantly defends his honor. The Jerkhief summons his [[Jerkops]] to handcuff Chris, but his keen tactical mind allows him to spot his assailant and dodge them, somehow causing a Jerkop to handcuff himself. Chris backhands another Jerkop square in the face, giving him enough breathing room to transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]].

The Jerkhief responds by summoning his Metal Armor, and a pitched battle begins. Chris-Chan uses Mega Kick, Double Team, Mirror Coat, and Thunderbolt to disarm the Jerkhief, and honorably offers mercy to his defeated foe. But the Jerkhief is without honor; defiant to the end, he fires a handgun at Chris-Chan, who uses Barrier to deflect the pitiful attack.

His enemy beaten, Chris decides to unleash his Special Ultimate Attack, the dreaded [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]]. The Jerkhief initially feels no adverse effect and rises to fight back, but the curse soon sets in; he slips on a banana peel, breaks his glasses, and learns that his wife has just divorced him over his smoking habit, taking the custody to his kids, house, and everything he owns with her (all of this somehow takes place within the brief skirmish at the mall). The Jerkhief's life is shattered, and Chris makes sure he knows that he deserved all of it. The Jerkhief cries that his soul hurts; Chris [[Chris and his Ego|responds that he's suffered worse,]] presumably referring to the soul-rending agony of being forced to stop soliciting sex on private property.

This Issa the first, though [[Sonichu 4|ce]][[Sonichu 8|rta]][[Sonichu 10|inly]] not the last time Chris would use his comic to create bizarre power fantasies in which he was [[Chris and reality|victorious in events he was not in real life]]. Sub-Episode 1, along with the other Sub-Episodes, is reprinted in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

[[Chris and english|Also note that Chris misspelt the title, spelling "-tastrophe" as "-tastropie"]].

Cartoon CWC takes some time out of the thrilling saga of Sonichu to provide exposition about key elements of the upcoming stories, with profiles on [[CWCville]] (as Chris puts it, the "cartoon world"), Sonichu, Rosechu, Kel, [[Naitsirhc]], [[Black Sonichu]], the [[Chaotic Combo]], and [[Flame the Sunbird]]. Chris hints at the significance of [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], [[Saramah Rosechu]], and [[Wes-Li Sonichu]], and briefly mentions the villains of the series: [[Mary Lee Walsh]] and the [[Jerkops]]. The greatest attention is given to [[Chris and his ego|Christian himself]] and the fact that [[Love Quest|he needs a girlfriend]].

==Episode 2: "Genesis of the Lovehogs"==
[[Image:202-SchuRchuKissPSPWall.jpg|thumb|"Mine, and '''THE FIRST''' romantic attempt, and I did an ''AWESOME FUCKIN' JOB''"....]]
The bewildering title suggests that this is about the literal CREATION of the "Lovehogs", but it is in fact the beginning of their utterly vapid romance. [[Sonichu]] is wandering through the forest for no given reason. A week has passed since he was forcefully evolved by the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and he has found that in his larger form he cannot receive adequate sustenance from the diet of a [[Pikachu]] (which is nuts and apples). He is also overcome with a newly found sense of loneliness, being the only [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] in existence--at least, insofar as he is aware.

Just then, Sonichu notices [[Rosechu]] standing by a stream. He is [[Love Quest|instantly attracted]] to this similar species of hedgehog, and quietly '''stalks her''' as she returns to her home. Lurking in the bushes, Sonichu sees that Rosechu lives with her trainer, [[Kel]], and decides that he can [[May 2014 Facebook Posts|beg this person for food]].

Inside, Rosechu [[Stress sigh|complains]] of her own loneliness. Kel generously offers her [[Pokémon#David the Dragonite/Daisy the Dragonite|Dragonite named David]] for [[Hanky-Panky|companionship]], but Rosey dismisses the offer, claiming the Dragonite is "too big" (infer what you will). Just then Rosechu answers a knock at the door to find Sonichu [[June_2014_Facebook_Posts#Wow|panhandling for change]]. Immediately smitten, she aggressively pulls him into the cabin and has Kel cook them dinner.

Within a few days, Sonichu and Rosechu are inseparable. One night, while staring at [[the Moon]] out by the lake, they interlock tails and share their first kiss, in the first of far too many nauseating love scenes.

Given [[Christian]]'s own [[Love Quest|inability to get laid]], "Genesis of the Lovehogs" provides fascinating insight into how he believes romance is supposed to work: Boy sees girl, [[Megan|boy stalks girl for five minutes]], girl wants to have sex with boy the second she lays eyes on him.

[[Image:201-SchuAqua.jpg|thumb|THE BUN IS IN YOUR MIND]]

===Synopsis===
We find Sonichu in [[CWCville Mall]], confronting [[Naitsirhc Giovanni]] riding a [[Zapdos]] that is clutching [[Rosechu]] in its talons. When hostage negotiations fail, the battle is on, and Sonichu briefly recalls how the situation arose.

Earlier in the day, [[Kel]] took her Pokémon into town to run errands, and allowed Rosechu to go shopping with Kel's credit card. Sonichu was entrusted to restrain Rosey's [[Women's Rights|uncontrollably lavish spending]] but he quickly abandoned this duty to please his lover. Later in the food court, the couple visited a fast food restaurant; being female, the feeble Rosechu could only eat a salad, while Sonichu attempted to eat a [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|Baffler Meal]] and became sick from eating [[pickle]]s. It was at this point that Zapdos ambushed the hedgehogs, capturing Rosey.

Using standard Pokémon fighting techniques (of which Pikachu is incapable), Sonichu shows up Zapdos with his Sky Uppercut and Mega Kick. For the ''coup de grâce'', Sonichu uses Double Team to confuse Zapdos with mirages of himself; he then uses this diversion to rescue Rosey before his duplicates zap the Zapdos, defeating it. Naitsirhc recalls the Zapdos to its Poké Ball, and swears he will challenge Sonichu again before riding off on a [[Raikou]]. Chris evidently believed that a shopping mall is a perfectly natural setting for this kind of thing to occur in.

Since this is Sonichu's first public outing in which he is not mistaken for [[Sonic]], he is heralded as a hero by the people of CWCville. [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] makes his debut as a full-fledged character, and, in his capacity as the city's mayor, congratulates the yellow hedgehog.

Later, in the first of many segments that break the fourth wall, Christian and Sonichu leave the mall talking about the high quality of this issue of Sonichu, and Sonichu expresses amazement and incredulity when he learns that Christian's obvious talent has not earned him a [[boyfriend-free girl]]. Christian drives off to the [[Fashion Square Mall]] to continue his [[Love Quest]], while Sonichu morbidly admires his father's persistence in the face of certain failure. Why Sonichu refers to him as "father" when Chris was totally uninvolved in his in-universe creation, but Chris's laissez-faire relationship with the fourth wall means that Sonichu (and many ensuing characters) have inherent knowledge of their real-life genitor.

===Analysis===
[[Image:SchuComicPage25_detail.jpg|thumb|Gotta Catch 'Em All!]]
Episode 3 is a good example of early [[CWCville]]. Sonichu is just a Mary Sue for Christian to play in a Sonic-inclusive-Pokéworld. Naitsirhc's motivation is that he's ''GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL'' for his gangster father, Giovanni. Contrast this with his later incarnation, [[Reldnahc]], or Chris's enemies in the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]].

Pages 28-34 of this issue feature comic strips drawn throughout [[2004]].

# 25 years into the future, [[Sonichu]] (now evolved into [[Metonic]]), recycles a joke from [[Excel Saga]] while chopping logs. The title of the strip is by itself a recycling of "Mobius 25 Years Later", an arc from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog#Comics|Sonic comics]]
# Sonichu asks Rosechu how things are going, and she explains she's been busy "being beautiful" but confesses that she hates working so hard at it (Chris evidently believes this is all women do and think about). Sonichu demonstrates his amazing ability to listen to women and respect their feelings (hint, hint, YOUNG LADIES) until Rosey calls out [[Black Sonichu]] for stalking them - she was happy enough when Sonichu was doing it, though.
# "Christian & Sonichu vs. the Mastermind": [[Christian]] and Sonichu defeat [[Mary Lee Walsh]] with the combined power of Chris's [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and Sonichu's thunder attack.
# Sonichu and [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] rescue [[Barbara Chandler]] from [[Naitsirhc]]. Barbara is depicted characterizing Sonichu as Christian's son.
# [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] is beaten up by [[jerkops]], under orders from Mary Lee Walsh, whom the reader knows nothing about and whose motives will never be made clear. Rosechu, being female, stands around without intervening, for no clear reason. Eventually, [[Sarhamah Rosechu]] arrives to save Chris, so that he can reassure himself that he is still important in the life of a woman he cannot have sex with. This Sub-[[Sub-Episode]] is later reincorporated into [[Sub-Episode 7]], in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

[[Image:Jerkhief_my_soul_hurts.jpg|thumb|MY SOUL HURTS!]]
One year and seven months into [[Christian]]'s [[Love Quest]], he ponders his lack of progress while listening to music on his Nintendo DS. Just then, the enormously fat [[niggos|black]] [[Jerkhief]] towers over Chris, rightfully calling him out and accusing Chris of soliciting sex. Chris is outraged by this correct assessment of his actions, and valiantly defends his honor. The Jerkhief summons his [[Jerkops]] to handcuff Chris, but his keen tactical mind allows him to spot his assailant and dodge them, somehow causing a Jerkop to handcuff himself. Chris backhands another Jerkop square in the face, giving him enough breathing room to transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]].

The Jerkhief responds by summoning his Metal Armor, and a pitched battle begins. Chris-Chan uses Mega Kick, Double Team, Mirror Coat, and Thunderbolt to disarm the Jerkhief, and honorably offers mercy to his defeated foe. But the Jerkhief is without honor; defiant to the end, he fires a handgun at Chris-Chan, who uses Barrier to deflect the pitiful attack.

His enemy beaten, Chris decides to unleash his Special Ultimate Attack, the dreaded [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]]. The Jerkhief initially feels no adverse effect and rises to fight back, but the curse soon sets in; he slips on a banana peel, breaks his glasses, and learns that his wife has just divorced him over his smoking habit, taking the custody to his kids, house, and everything he owns with her (all of this somehow takes place within the brief skirmish at the mall). The Jerkhief's life is shattered, and Chris makes sure he knows that he deserved all of it. The Jerkhief cries that his soul hurts; Chris [[Chris and his Ego|responds that he's suffered worse,]] presumably referring to the soul-rending agony of being forced to stop soliciting sex on private property.

This Issa the first, though [[Sonichu 4|ce]][[Sonichu 8|rta]][[Sonichu 10|inly]] not the last time Chris would use his comic to create bizarre power fantasies in which he was [[Chris and reality|victorious in events he was not in real life]]. Sub-Episode 1, along with the other Sub-Episodes, is reprinted in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

[[Chris and english|Also note that Chris misspelt the title, spelling "-tastrophe" as "-tastropie"]].

''[[Sonichu Adventure]]'', coming <s>soon</s> never exclusively for Nintendo Game Cube! Note that Chris draw most of the Game Cube dress by hand, but likely forgot the "Only for" label and thus had to photoshop it in.

This ad appeared between the Classic Sonichu Strips and Sub-Episode 1 in the initial release of ''Sonichu'' #0, but moved to the back cover on the more recent [[CWCipedia]] version. Ads for ''Sonichu Adventure'' would continue to run in future issues, all the way through to [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]].
