'''''Sonichu'' #7''' is the eighth issue of Christian's ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' comic book. Although the cover was drawn in March [[2007]], most of it would not be completed until August [[2008]], well into Chris's conflict with [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] and months after his falling-out with [[Megan]]. This is the first issue of ''Sonichu'' to be directly affected by the influence of trolls. It is far from the last.
The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's [[Chris and money|financial management]] beginning in early [[2016]]. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [[YouTube]] and [[Facebook]].


The ending of ''Sonichu'' #7 sets the stage for issues #8-10, as a mission into the past causes [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] to be stranded in "the [[Time Void]]" where he cannot directly intervene in the lives of his characters. Chris had by this time begun to feel he was becoming too intrusive in Sonichu's stories--possibly upon reading criticisms on [[ED]]--and wanted to remove himself as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, [[Chris and his Ego|it didn't last]].
In June 2017, [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] began to take his [[Patreon]] account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts, and payments continued until 2 August 2021, when his Patreon account was shut down. As a result, begging had temporarily subsided.


While Chris is trapped in the Time Void, Sonichu and Magi-Chan return to the present... that is, to 2 November 2007 when the events of this issue are set. Although Chris's comics were clearly never set in real-time ([[Episode 14]] takes place immediately after [[Episode 13]], not months later when Chris drew it), this is the first open acknowledgment that at times the comic's timeframe can be weeks or months behind real-time. This would become increasingly confusing as Chris would continue referring to dates in future issues, with events in the comics occurring a year or more before they were published. Indeed, during his stay in the time void the Chris of November 2007 experiences "future" visions of events such as ED's discovery of him and his heartbreak with Megan. Although ''Sonichu'' #7 sets up the storyline that [[PVCC]] plans to exploit Chris's absence with another invasion of [[CWCville]], Chris quickly loses interest in developing this idea in favor of another: [[4-cent_garbage.com]].

Chris, begging for money, while standing in front of more than a thousand dollars' worth of Lego sets and toys.

The Financhu Crisis is a term coined by users from Kiwi Farms to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's financial management beginning in early 2016. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on YouTube and Facebook.

In June 2017, Chris began to take his Patreon account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts, and payments continued until 2 August 2021, when his Patreon account was shut down. As a result, begging had temporarily subsided.
