Sonichu (comic)

“	My art speaks for me	”
Christian introducing his oeuvre

Sonichu is Chris's official poorly drawn comic book adventures of Sonichu and his (imaginary) friends.

Introduction

THE WORLD'S MOST WAY PAST COOL COMIC!

The inadvertent shattering of his heart from Sarah Hammer, along with the explusion from English class and the confrontation with Mary Lee Walsh provided the impetus for Christian to kick start the comic series in full force. It initially served as a complement to his Love Quest as a feeble attempt to link an accomplishment, or boast his own self-worth to unsuspecting prey... after all Sonichu is "Zappin' to the Extreme"! He is Christian Weston Chandler's only son, and the first way past cooler Electric Hedgehog Pokémon!

If you haven't closed this page yet:

• It's because despite reading, and re-reading the words... it still doesn't make it any sense
• You're in a state of shock (ANOTHER VICTIM OF SONICHU'S LIGHTNING, JERKOP!)
• You are an aspiring autistic artist looking for some inspiration
• You're laughing so hard you can't wait for what comes next!

The comics series has been hosted on the various incarnations of Christian's homepage (currently down for the count after multiple trolling campaigns), and was originally promoted from his now defunct Sonichu business cards. Each new addition to the series would proudly sport the now-infamous to be continued disclaimer page. In fact, the comics are not updated with any regular frequency: In five years Chris has yet to complete ten issues. This, of course, from a man who is not in employment, education or training. With a page-rate such as this you know you can count on the quality!

Reader's guide to Sonichu

How-to and overview

The ever infamous JARGON page

The Sonichu series begins with #0 instead of #1, and each issue contains multiple separately-numbered "episodes," so readers often lose track of which story happened in which issue. For example, Black Sonichu is introduced in Episode 4, which is the fifth story in the overall series and the first story in Sonichu #1, which is in turn the second comic. Further confounding matters are the Sub-Episodes about Christian's Love Quest, which appear sporadically throughout issues #0-4 and are numbered separately from the main stories. The original filenames are also misnumbered as #0 is referenced as #1, and this continues through the following issues.

Issues #0-1 feature Sonichu as the unchallenged star of the series, with Christian as a supporting character also appearing in the backup strips. By issue #2, the comic has seamlessly transitioned to Christian encountering people from his real life in shitty anime battles. Token attempts to tell Sonichu stories and introduce Sonichu spin-off characters are made in #3, but all pretense is dropped in #4-7, as the series becomes a vehicle for Christian Chandler as the leader of a heroic band of muppets battling old women and ineffectual security guards.

The comic series is presented as if it were a cartoon or anime (which might explain why comics mimic visual effects that work well in audiovisual context but fail on paper), and is encapsulated into seasons with various episodes (or series, for some of our Eurofag friends). Issue 10 is intended to wrap up the first season of Sonichu, however, it appears that Christian will fall slightly short of the standard 26 episode 'full season' run. This opens a can of worms as to the current vision of the comics: Is Sonichu intended to be the hit action/adventure soap-opera TV show that is broadcast in CWCville, or is it the historical documentation of Christian's and Sonichu's life and times? Perhaps it is destined to be the Gospel from the Stay-at-Home Autistic Virgin Male, hallowed be His name. Either way it remains unanswered whether Christian continues on with the series because he has a vain, misguided belief that some TRUE and HONEST soul will consider these as 'storyboards' for proper licensing and production.

Art imitating life

TO BE CONTINUED (c) 2001-????

Sensing some criticism for the self-centeredness of his work, Christian wrote himself out of the series toward the end of Sonichu #7, trapping the Christian character in the timestream so that the storyline could focus on other characters. Despite this, Sonichu still served as a strong Mary Sue character, as seen in Sonichu fighting 4-cent_garbage.com in Sonichu #8. This self-imposed exile lasted about five minutes, as Christian managed to make a cameo on page 18 of Sonichu #8.

He returned from the Time Void at the end of issue #9, giving all non-Christian characters approximately 1 issue to have the spotlight to themselves, during which they mostly talked about how much they loved Christian and hoped he would return safely. On the final page of the issue, Chris claimed that he would write himself out of the series permanently, giving his characters the opportunity to shine on their own. He went back on this promise almost the moment he made it - the opening scenes of issue #10 are some of the most Christian-centric of the entire series.

Following the theft of his Medallions of Fail by Blanca, Christian immediately released a new comic adapting the theft into his fictional canon and explaining that the TRUE source of his power lay in his High School Ring of Fail. Since this story was necessarily set after Christian escapes the time void, it was deemed a special preview of Sonichu #10, despite the fact that Chris had at that point not finished Sonichu #8 or even begun Sonichu #9.

The entire Sonichu series has been faithfully adapted into audiobooks on Youtube.

Unfinished and Unreleased issues

These comics are not yet completed by Chris, and most of them were briefly seen in videos during the Ivy saga. Most of the unreleased comics were obtained by trolls and publicly released.

Unfinished

• Sonichu 10

• 'Preview' episode which doubles as a LittleBigPlanet advertisement, and a response to the Medallion destruction by trolls back in 2008. Chris finally began working on it over a year later in 2009.

• Sonichu 11

• Chris began work on a special Christmas episode in mid-December 2009, but aside from that, only a cover exists.

• Sonichu 12

• So far only a cover exists.

Unreleased

• Sonichu Special 1

• Chris rescues Ivy from the clutches of Clyde Cash. Six known pages are available. The rest are unverified, but speculated to be those displayed in the video.

• Sonichu Special 2

• The fail-tastic union of Chris and Ivy. The pages are not yet numbered, and text remains hand-lettered. A cover page is absent for this comic.

• Sonichu Special 3

• The even more fail-tastic honeymoon of Chris and Ivy. This is technically still an unreleased issue as it was provided by The Miscreants (as jesuschrist.zip). It is in a similar state to Special 02: Pages have no numbers, text is still hand-written, and also missing a cover.

• Sonichu Special 4

• Chris rescues Kacey from Liquid (though it's unclear why Kacey needs to be rescued if she's in a consensual relationship with Liquid), shoots Liquid in the shins, and then makes out with Kacey. This is a five-page short with no cover, but it does have page numbers and computer lettering.

Chris has claimed that in total he plans to complete 50 to 100 issues in his life time.
