Fry official reaction about Chris.
Futurama was one of Chris's favorite shows from the Adult Swim lineup (now airing on Comedy Central), so he occasionally peppers his comic with material from it. While Futurama is a hit-and-miss sci-fi satire which can be enjoyed on multiple levels, Chris probably only watches it for the random-access humor and so he can mass debate to cartoon chicks.
Stuff Chris stole from this show
- A common gag in Futurama is the appearance of 20th and 21st century celebrities and other historical figures as cloned disembodied heads sustained in jars of murky fluid. This allows the writers to use guest stars who would otherwise be long-dead in the 31st Century, when the show is set. In Sonichu #4, Chris battles the evil W-M-Manajerk, who is basically the head of a nondescript man in one of these jars. His jar is mounted atop a powerful robot body, which looks suspiciously similar to one used by Richard Nixon's head in an episode of Futurama in which he ran for President of Earth.
- Sonichu #7 involves time-travel, and so Magi-Chan Sonichu creates a "time-sphere" which looks very much like the one employed in the direct-to-DVD film "Bender's Big Score". In fact, Chris and Sonichu spend their trip backward through time discussing the movie as though it were a scientific treatise on real-life temporal mechanics. The pair also discuss the episode "Roswell That Ends Well," and agree that the two fictional cartoons prove that one cannot alter the past to influence the future. Chris also references the binary code used in the movie to activate the time sphere, although this doesn't appear to be dialogue, or even connected to the plot of the issue.
- As if that weren't bad enough, Chris throws in Bender himself, one of the main characters of Futurama, plunging through the time stream as Chris and the others pass by going the other way.
