This article discusses the award winning comic series Asperchu and his relationship with Chris. For information about the Asperchu series itself, please see Fan:Asperchu.
Asperchu is a popular award winning comic series created by Alec Benson Leary. His deft artwork, gripping stories, and excellent characterization has resulted in the series gaining hundreds of fans in the few short months since its inception. Many of these fans were disenfranchised followers of the Sonichu comics, which have recently become exponentially more disturbing.
Similarities to Chris
While Alec has stated that Asperchu is not a Parody of Chris, there are many similarities between the two. Both of them are overweight, bespectacled, naïve individuals who find themselves somewhat out of place in the world. They both address the masses through youtube videos, and both are preoccupied with finding a boyfriend-free girl to make into a sweetheart.
These similarities between the two characters has resulted in no shortage of rage from Chris. He seems to feel that the only reason Asperchu exists is to poke fun at him. He also takes serious offense at the idea of a Sonichu who suffers from Aspergers, for some reason.
Chris on Asperchu
It's no secret that Chris hates Aspergers (and presumably everybody that suffers from it), due to some misguided sense of competition between Aspergers syndrome and other disorders on the autism spectrum. The knowledge that someone had created a series about an Electric Hedgehog Pokemon who suffered from the affliction did not sit well with him. He became even worse when the creator of the series himself started sending him e-mails.
The first recorded communication we have between Alec and Chris implies that Alec had been in contact with him multiple times outside of the public view and that Chris had responded to these communications negatively. Chris didn't respond any better on his public mailbag, claiming that Alec was jealous of him and alleging that the included fanart of Asperchu and Sonichu implied homosexuality.
Upset that Chris would jump to such conclusions, Alec sent him another letter, depicting Sonichu and Asperchu having good, masculine straight fun. This letter was even more poorly received.
Undaunted, Alec continued to send letters to Chris's mailbag, thinking that perhaps the man he respected so much really just misunderstood him. A few of these letters were ignored, some were coldly dismissed, but Chris's most notable responses were were explosive outbursts of anger and hatred.
Recently Chris has been outright deleting, or refusing to respond to Alec's correspondence. Given what just happened to the CWCipedia's mainpage (and the increasing amount of fanmail from people disenchanted with Sonichu for many reasons deciding to stop following Sonichu and start following Asperchu) it shouldn't be long before Chris is driven to make even more enraged public screeds.
In Asperchu Issue C (or 0C), Ian Brandon Anderson made an appearance asking for help from the characters to save Asperchu. Later, he and Christian Weston Chandler met up with each other, leading to a standoff where Ian tried to shoot Chris. Ian has yet to respond to this (and probably never will).
Asperpedia
After finishing the first three issues of his comic, Alec Benson Leary set up his own Mediawiki website where one could read all existing comics, as well as a number of articles about the world of Asperchu, and read fan mail answered by Mr. Leary. Soon afterward, portals were added to the site for other notable comics, such as Evan's Simonchu, and Sonichu is Dead creator Sean August Watley's latest project, Moon-Pals.
Jack Thaddeus, recognizing the incredible profit potential of Asperchu, immediately began advertising the new website on the CWCipedia. Chris responded to these new ads, and his newfound knowledge of Alec's website with a series of increasingly disturbing videos where he made his opinions on the matter quite clear.
Alec, being a gentle soul has not directly responded to any of Chris's offensive videos. When asked by a concerned fan, he outlined his planned course of action as one of peace, citing his personal hero, Mahatma Gandhi. His webmaster, Mao "Bamboo" Ling has opted for a more direct approach, speaking to Chris directly in 2 short youtube videos.
