Inos (born 1929/30) is a human inhabitant of CWCville, appearing in Sonichu #10. Possibly in a response to demands from fans for a more diverse lineup, Chris chose to depict this particular token character as a homeless, intoxicated, diseased, drug-pushing, expectorating scruff with filthy dreadlocks styled like a Sonichu's ears.
Talking to Sonichu with a vaguely Jamaican accent, he uses dottled wordplay to explain that he is a seventy-eight-year-old "Jamaican Veteran" (of what war is never mentioned, but considering his age, it's probably the Korean War) and professional bum who has suffered from a cold for five years. Chris stops short of having him sing "Buffalo Soldier" and join a bobsled team.
After kindly recoiling with disgust and lecturing the half-dead Inos on his drug abuse, Sonichu has him arrested, cautioned and admitted against his will into one of CWCville's soup kitchens. His wares are also appropriated and sent to the tobacky rocket.
While Chris spends several pages showing off what a waste of life this particular black person is, when called out on his lack of minorities in the comic during Mailbag 50, he mentions Constable Louis Perez, the black officer who was called in to arrest Inos. He showed up for exactly one panel, the longest Chris has ever shown a minority in a positive light.
Chris has revealed in a video that Inos is actually based on a troll creation made to mess with Chris using international copyright law. The creation is known as "Soni-chew, the eclectic heeedge. Hog. Poké! Mon of London, England," or at the least, that's what Chris calls it. At this point it's not clear how much of the character's appearance is based on the "original" character.
Even worse is the character's thinly veiled Sonichu reference in the dialogue of the above picture. (If you can't figure it out, it's "Sonichu, Eclectic Hedgehog Digimon."
Inos also appears in Sonichu 11, unintentionally causing Blake much distress by assuming he's a fellow brother and wishing him a happy Kwanzaa.
