*I think right now, it's generally believed that Graduon is simply a generic "ultimate [vague] evil" for the comic.

Also, with Asperchu and co. now the primary source of torment in his life, is he getting ready to focus all efforts to ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH? Has he actually listened (unlikely).

To do
- Add a photo
- Mention first appearance
- Discussion of what it might mean to Chris
Who is Graduon?
We all know that Chris is incapable of creating an original character, so what exactly is Graduon a rippoff of? I've always thought of him as the Lord Zed to Mary Lee Walsh's Rita, but Zed was never a staff.
- I think right now, it's generally believed that Graduon is simply a generic "ultimate [vague] evil" for the comic. It's a common theme in fiction to have this sort of guy and whether Chris realizes it or not, it gives him a lot of leeway in doing something with him since he's described so vaguely. It seems that it's merely a personification of his fears about graduation or the negative feelings associated with it. --Champthom 20:51, 5 May 2009 (CEST)
- I think it's the personification of two things. One, the indignity Chris feels that he suffered during his graduation. Two, the fact that graduation for him meant that he was forcibly ejected from school.
- I immediately thought of the nightmare from Kirby's Adventure. Which seems funny now considering his video 'Shut Up, Brain' has the quote "I should be in Dreamland"--Robotnik 10:30, 7 May 2009 (CEST)
- A user from the somethingawful forums claimed to have "inspired" Chris:
"I'm Count Graduon... I sent him a picture of me in a Halo Spartan Armor with a top hat and a monocle, while holding a wine glass of Mt. Dew in a relaxed position."
...but I don't know if that's worthy of inclusion.--JohnnyA 17:16, 20 October 2009 (CEST)
- Seems unlikely, yet also awesome if true. Ensign disposable 22:11, 20 October 2009 (CEST)
New enemies
Is Graduon getting smashed a sign that Chris has moved on? Every mailbag has the "CHRIS YOU ARE NEARLY 30 MOVE ON MOVE ON" message these days. Is this a reaction to the realisation that no-one gives a shit about his graduation?
Also, with Asperchu and co. now the primary source of torment in his life, is he getting ready to focus all efforts to ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH? Has he actually listened (unlikely). Is he striving for actual progression in the plot after ten years (unlikely). Is he just gearing up to vilify his latest set of trolls? (probably). --YawningSquirtleRedux 19:00, 04 February 2010
- If Chris's spoilers are anything to go by then Graduon is not done yet and will return having possessed Metal Sonichu. If Chris's mailbag response really is true then he may just have a reboot and Graduon will be retconned out of existance. --Edward 20:10, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
