'''''Sonichu | '''''Sonichu'' #6''' is the seventh issue of [[Christian]]'s ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' comic book series.

Overview
While it sticks to most of the usual Sonichu formulas, Sonichu #6 does distinguish itself from its predecessors, mostly in Episode 12.5.
Chris had inserted photographs of himself into cartoon backgrounds before, most notably in the original jewel case art for which he created the Sonichu character. In Sonichu #6, Chris broadens his experiments with a Fumetti style, blending cartoon characters with photographs of himself and his home. This style returns again in Sonichu #10, with some differences. In Sonichu #6, the Patti-Chan character is a cartoon existing in the 'real world,' and Chris becomes a cartoon when he enters CWCville. In Sonichu #10, a 'real world' CWC exists in the cartoon CWCville.
Despite the extensive use of photography in the first half of the story, no photographer is credited. Chris is usually quick to credit people who 'assist' in the production of a Sonichu episode, because it makes him look like he has friends, so the implication here is that he took the photos himself.
Sonichu #6 is also a departure in emotional depth, compared to previous issues. While the others are generally limited to retarded, one-dimensional characters and narcissistic monologues, in Sonichu #6 Chris works through a real and empathetic event: the death of his dog, Patti. Of course, he works through it in a retarded and narcissistic manner, but it's still more emotionally tangible than anything else he has done.
The final page of the episode is a formal dedication to Patti, with a memorial photograph, birth, and death dates. This is interesting, because it is generally difficult to determine just how grounded in reality Chris's mind is. In some cases, such as the BILLY MAYS coup, Chris doesn't respect any line between reality and the CWCville universe: there IS a Mayor of CWCville, and the Mayor IS Chris. This page, on the other hand, is a concrete example of Chris separating reality from fiction.
This contrasts sharply with how he memorialized the deaths of the women who loved him, where he callously recreated their horrific deaths in comic format as a means of removing them from his comic.
Since Sonichu #5 ended with a cliffhanger, this story is set between Episodes 12 and 13 of that issue.
Synopsis
Chris's dog, Patti, is old and suffering from an "itchy" rump. She looks up at the full Moon and wishes for the ability to walk and talk like Chris, that she might thank him for his years of kindness. After baying at the Moon, Patti eats some grass in the backyard, unknowingly catching a four-leaf clover in her teeth. When she lies down and sleeps, the magic power of moonbeams does some sort of magic shit to her.
The following day, Chris emerges from his house to feed Patti, only to discover her transformed into an anthropomorphic dog-creature. When Patti speaks aloud for the first time, both she and Chris are shocked. Patti realizes her wish came true, although neither she nor Chris knows how this has happened, and nobody asks any questions.
After a snack and a bath, Chris gives Patti a clover medallion, and a green sash to cover her dog junk. Together, they sit on a bench swing outside, and Patti thanks Chris for everything. Rejuvenated by her transformation, Patti expresses a desire to roam the world beyond her pen, but doesn't know where to go. After considering the matter for a moment, Chris decides to take her to CWCville, where she can wander the city without frightening the populace.

Overview
In the original artwork, Chris managed to misspell his backwards-named nemesis's middle name. After what must have been nearly 9,000 hours in MS Paint, "Notsow" was hamfistedly altered to "Notsew." Then the page was even more hamfistedly omitted from the CWCipedia, probably because it is so sexually charged that it might turn Chris into a homo if he even glances at it. Either that, or he's retarded and didn't check to see that he double-posted page 31.
Synopsis
Continuing from Episode 13's cliffhanger, Mary Lee Walsh gloats over her imprisonment of Crystal in the dark mirror. Patti-Chan and Darkbind Sonichu arrive to steal the Mirror away from Walsh. Distracted, Walsh is easily defeated by Sailor Megtune, and is forced to retreat.
The heroes return to Christian's mayoral office, where Christian and Magi-Chan work on ways to retrieve Crystal from the mirror. While they wait for da update, the others discuss various subjects of no particular relevance.
Magi-Chan announces that the only hope to save Crystal are the seven Sonichu Balls, of which they only currently possess one. However, the attractive properties of the balls cause Magi-Chan to realize that Darkbind is hiding two more balls, and that he also needs all seven to save Zelina Rosechu.
Conveniently enough, a fourth Ball is revealed when Black Sonichu and a mysterious green Sonichu commit a daring daylight robbery of the Kay Jewelers store in the CWCville Mall. Somehow, the villains have learned of the Sonichu Ball's presence there, and have stolen it as part of a larger scheme of world domination.
Chris teleports to the scene with Magi-Chan and Sonichu, but the combined power of the evil Sonichus is too great. The green Sonichu envelops Chris in a dark dimension, and explains that he is Reldnahc Ha-Taque Sonichu, the Electric Hedgehog form of Naitsirhc Giovanni. When Chris was briefly submerged in the Dark Mirror Hole, this caused a Dark Sonichu Medallion to be created, awakening sleeping evil powers within Naitsirhc, such as the ability to transform into Reldnahc Ha-Taque. Now realized as the evil, opposite counterpart to Chris, he has dubbed himself as Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc.
When Reldnahc reverts to human form, we see he has been changed into a duplicate of Chris, with torn blue jeans, and a green harness, reflecting his homoerotic tendencies. Chris is naturally horrified by his partial nudity.
Outside the Dark Dimension, Magi-Chan and Sonichu demand an explanation from Black Sonichu, who explains that Naitsirhc has become far more evil and ruthless since his transformation. He has completely abandoned his adoptive father Giovanni, and while Black Sonichu has followed him out of loyalty, Naitsirhc has insulted him constantly in return, even putting whipped cream in his rocket shoes.
Suddenly everybody's pal, Black Sonichu asks his former enemies about Bubbles, having randomly developed an infatuation with her.
Christian and Reldnahc, as Chris-Chan Sonichu and Reldnahc Ha-Taque, begin a pitched battle, racing across CWCville at high speeds, proving to be evenly matched. Christian, as ever, attempts to fight dirty, but his kick to Reldnahc's groin is met only by Reldnahc's powerful cup.
Reldnahc finally gains the upper hand, blasting Chris into the gym of Manchester High School, incapacitating him. But before Reldnahc can deliver the final blow using his Sonichu Ball, a basketball strikes Reldnahc, causing his head to hit the bleaches, knocking him out. Christian awakes to learn that Bionic the Hedgehog saved him from certain doom, and that Reldnahc is in a coma.
Bionic gives Chris the Sonichu Ball Reldnahc had stolen, and asks him to provide him with a fictional girlfriend, just as Chris created Rosechu to be Sonichu's personal semen receptacle. Too lazy to do even that, Chris suggests Bionic hook up with one of Megan's characters.
Christian then launches into an advertisement for his homemade DVD "Christian Weston Chandler...Yep, I'm on TV :)". He describes every single feature on the disc, despite the fact that he has no intention of making it available outside of his own circle of acquaintances.
Ten weeks later (presumably after several of the events in Sonichu #7), Reldnahc awakens in the hospital, with a white-hot hatred for Bionic...
