Sonichu (comic)

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! The contents of this page have been bought with taxpayer money!

PROTIP: Stop messaging Chris about his comics. Everyone else gets the point that Chris hasn’t made anything in ages, and spamming "Where's the comics, Chris" messages to him won't make production any quicker. We also advise you don't make your own comics for Chris to implement. It makes you look just as retarded as he does when he does it alone.

Sonichu, issues 0 to 7

“	My Immortal has a sort of grandeur to it, since it has been (possibly) carefully constructed to be as terrible as possible. This is no parody. This is a man's life – his failures, his neuroses, his fantasies, his warped worldview, proudly displayed for the world on paper and pixels. Reading Sonichu and learning about its author is nothing less than a descent into someone's personal hell, made all the more terrible for the fact that the author intends for the experience to entertain people. That they would purchase it. There is no joy, no fun in CWCville – there is only layer upon layer of horror.	”
A now-deleted "So Bad, It's Horrible" entry from the TV Tropes article, aptly describing the experience of reading Sonichu.

Sonichu is Christian Weston Chandler's official life work, magnum opus, and largest contribution to society and culture. To most, however, it is a poorly-drawn and written comic book series about the adventures and travels that befall "him" and his (imaginary) friends. Despite starting out as a comic about the titular character, it quickly turned into a wish-fulfillment outlet for Chris and his depraved fantasies, with Sonichu being a main character in name only, playing second fiddle to Chris's primary Mary Sue self-insert. Other characters include Rosechu and Chris's many other self-inserts.

Introduction

THE WORLD'S MOST WAY PAST COOL COMIC!

Chris first drew Sonichu in March 2000 after being told that he could not use a copyrighted character on a class project, so he instead came up with a TRUE and ORIGINAL character plagiarizing from two of his favorite video games: Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon. Later, Chris would put his web programming skills to task and come up with CWC's Sonichu Site!, which showcased his various illustrations of his pride and joy. Over time, Chris would draw new characters in his own little universe that were more blatant rip-offs of the source material that he was inspired by, such as Rosechu and Blake, and so Chris began to put together a couple of simple, single-page or two-page narratives for his growing cast of characters.

For a while, many of these comics were actually focused on the adventures of these characters, with no real references to the outside world, but over time, he would start to put himself into these comic strips. Dissatisfaction with his own life led Chris to use the comic as a coping mechanism to achieve a sense of wish fulfillment. Since he was coming up with his story (and nothing less), he could team up with his "original" creations and make things right in his idealized fantasy world.

The inadvertent shattering of his heart from Sarah Hammer, along with the expulsion from English class and the confrontation with Mary Lee Walsh, provided the impetus for Christian to kick-start the comic series in full force, turning real-life figures that he encountered into citizens and villains for him and his OCs to interact with. The series initially served as a complement to his Love Quest as a feeble attempt to link an accomplishment, or boost 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!

The comics series was originally hosted on the various incarnations of Christian's homepage (as seen in the CWCipedia archive). In 2013 he began to upload the comics as albums on his Facebook page, and he affirmed in 2015, when he picked up the comic again, that this would be the place to find new pages. In September 2015 he finally began to sell printed and autographed issues on Etsy and Lulu.com. The comic was originally promoted from now-defunct Sonichu business cards, and he has since graduated to flyers. Each new addition to the series proudly sports a "To be continued..." disclaimer page. In fact, the comics are not updated with any regular frequency: in the twenty years since the character's creation, Chris has only completed fifteen issues, even though he has zero responsibilities and unlimited free time.

“	My art speaks for me.	”
Chris

How-to and Overview

The ever infamous JARGON page.

The Sonichu series began with issue #0 instead of #1, and each issue contained multiple separately-numbered "episodes", so readers often lost track of which story happened in which issue. For example, Black Sonichu (now known as Blake) was introduced in Episode #4, which was the fifth story in the overall series and the first story in Sonichu #1, which was in turn the second comic. Further confounding matters were the Sub-Episodes about Christian's Love Quest, which appeared in issues #0-4, and were numbered separately from the main stories.

Issues #0 and #1 featured Sonichu as the unchallenged star of the series, with Chris as a supporting character also appearing in the backup strips. By issue #2, the comic had abruptly 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 were made in #3, but all pretense was dropped in #4-#7 as the series becomes a vehicle for Christian, as the leader of a heroic band of recolors, to battle against a college dean, a group of ineffectual security guards, store managers, and later on, Internet trolls and other people who made fun of the comic. Originally it was mostly innocent and harmless, being the by-product of a simple man with a childish imagination, until it became an outlet to call out trolls, explore his depraved sexual desires and live out his violent revenge fantasies.

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

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

Art imitating life

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 Time Void 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, as well as the clear Sue tendencies of Reginald Sneasel.

He returned from the Time Void at the end of Sonichu #9, giving all non-Chris characters approximately one issue to have the spotlight to themselves, during which they mostly talked about how much they loved Chris 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 — issue #10 is one 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 canon and explaining that the TRUE source of his power lay in his Amnyfest Ring. 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 nor begun Sonichu #9.

Chris started Sonichu #11 in December 2009 and completed Sonichu #10 in February 2010. He produced a revised ending to issue #10 in October 2010. After a long inspirationless lull, he began churning out new pages of Sonichu #11 in September 2015.

Chris has claimed that in total, he plans to complete 50 to 100 issues in his lifetime.

Currently

“	I have not ended Sonichu; I only lost inspiration to draw, thanks to the people online.	”
Chris

On 27 May 2010, Chris announced that he was abandoning the CWCipedia to the trolls. On 30 October 2010, Chris claimed that the trolls drained his creativity and scared him away from drawing any more Sonichu.

On 27 February 2013, Chris wrote in a Facebook post that he might continue, but probably won't.

“

When I was online with my comic pages, I had never really planned ahead as I should have with releases and such. I was an amateur, I got scared off, I still feel very timid. I am not making any promises with anything for the future. Nobody in my comicverse is dead. Do not have any expectations of me.

”

On 10 January 2014, Chris's house was gutted by a fire. Later in November 2015, Chris showcased the Scrapbook of Fail in a video, confirming that the master copies of the Sonichu comics and his original artwork survived the blaze. They also continue to survive in digital form all across the Internet, and on the CWCki itself.

In a Facebook post on April 2015, Chris stated that if Sonichu was released as downloadable content for the fourth iteration of the Super Smash Bros. video game, he would consider resuming the Sonichu comics. Needless to say, the probability of either of these possibilities were slim to none.

A Facebook post in August 2015, while Chris was enthusiastically selling his knockoff "official" Amiibo figures, seemed to imply Chris was once again interested in returning to the comics;

“

I am setting up an opportunity for me to get back to drawing the pages, and getting Paid too[...]

”

On 4 September 2015, Chris confirmed the rumors as true and finally added new content to Sonichu for the first time in 5 years. 11 new pages were added to Sonichu #11 that day, with more pages added to the album "maybe every other week"; however, he cannot make any promises due to "unforeseeable variables and circumstances".

In June 2017, Chris began making regular updates to the comic again, completing Sonichu #11 that month and Sonichu #12 in October. Chris announced that Sonichu #13 would be an unofficial crossover with Planet Dolan; however, after falling out with DoopieDoOver, Chris scrapped the original concept and announced Sonichu #12-9, based around My Little Pony and featuring a new self-insert of his.

However, partway through #12-9, Chris's work on the comic and update schedule broke down. Chris began working on what was originally named Sonichu #14, which was to return to the normal Sonichu setting; however, he soon spilled paint on the first few unfinished pages and sold them on eBay for a quick buck, presumably scrapping his work once again (and illustrating a weakness of his "hand-drawing" technique).

However, Chris apparently still intended to complete #14, as he next announced Sonichu #15. The comic was intended as a remake/reboot of the early issues, but was soon derailed under the influence of the fancomic "Rosechu's Story", and Chris, under the Idea Guy's influence, hesitantly decided to retcon Rosechu to be transgender.

Before Chris could publicly reveal what was originally Sonichu #16, several pages were leaked in January 2018 by Kiwi Farms users in contact with the Idea Guys. The unfinished pages revealed that the comic's story had largely been penned by the Idea Guys themselves and brought together many of the concepts and plotlines they had been feeding Chris for the past few months. After months without updates, Chris revealed in May 2018 that he had continued to work on #16, but that he was now hesitant to release the nearly-finished comic now that he realized the Idea Guys – or an idea guy – had such an influence on it.

On 26 June 2019, Chris uploaded eight new pages for a new issue of Sonichu designed to be a sequel to Sonichu #16. Two days later, in a Patreon post, he would renumber issues #14, #15, and #16. Sonichu #14 would be moved to #16, Sonichu #16 would be renamed The Awakening of a CPU aka The Idea Guy Corruptions, and the new issue would be numbered issue #14. Later, on 29 August 2019, Chris, while believing he had body swapped with Magi-Chan, posted that, among other things, The Awakening of a CPU aka The Idea Guy Corruptions was renamed to Sonichu #13.

Approved fanfictions

On 17 December 2019, Chris uploaded a complete set of the Sonichu series, including comics 0 through 13 of the main series, but also two fan comics that he has officially endorsed, to CWCville Shopping. Not being derived from his own geinus, they are a step below TRUE and HONEST Sonichu canon. Nevertheless he has sanctioned them as mostly true to his vision, and is exploiting these fruits of others' labors financially.

Image	Issue	Plot Summary
	Rosechu's Story	Designed by Tricklechu. Originally a Kiwi Farms project to redeem as much as possible from Chris's lackluster writing by focusing on the side character Rosechu.
	Chris Chan: A Prequel Comic	Created by Bryanfrogboy. Written as a deconstruction of Chris's life, told from Chris's point of view.

Marketing

In his August 2009 résumé, Chris stated that his dream was to "get me paper-published with a comic book company like Archie, Marvel, DC or Dark Horse comics". He finally made this happen – sort of – in September 2015, when he discovered Lulu.com and put a bound copy of Sonichu #0 for sale for ten bucks. A print version of Book #1 appeared the following month. Although his Lulu account disappeared from public view after about a week, he continued to offer the books (autographed upon request) on Etsy. He made routine updates on Facebook.

A recipient of the first issue provided a review:

The cover is pixelated and shitty, Chris really obviously just stretched out whatever resized image he happened to have on his PC at the time, rather than rescan the original or do anything that required any effort. The spine is completely fucked up, and spills over onto the back of the book, making it totally useless – the bottom half of text can't be viewed from the side. If by some shitty reason you ever wanted to buy multiple future issues to put on your shelf, you'd never be able to tell which one is which. I don't know if this is because he just copied/pasted a book spine he assumed would work, or if he really underestimated how big the book would be. Probably both. The result is that the cover is one of the worst things in comic history. It honestly is so poorly done and so low quality that if Chris wasn't saying it was his I would assume this was a troll attempt to make him look bad. The back cover is significantly less pixelated, but still looks like garbage because it is, of course, drawn all in markers and pen by Chris. The paper used is matte and looks like the lowest quality/cheapest option he could get it printed on. Someone else mentioned it looks like "draft" quality and that pictures make it better – it seriously is so ugly and the resolution so low, it looks like a test page, and I can't even capture how shitty it is on camera. I've purchased comics from Lulu before, and they weren't nearly this bad, so there must be varying levels of publishing quality (or Lulu themselves has dropped in quality significantly – it's been years) and Chris picked the worst. So, it's exactly what you expect. Low quality and no effort by Chris other than uploading it. He didn't even check to see if things fit on the cover.

(Of which SEGA is still quoted for their Sonic characters, but I have my own personal copyright on Sonichu, Rosechu, and everything else therein. Also, any names, or persons, illustrated in any of the Sonichu Comics, except that of my own, that may seem similar to anyone in real life or wherever else, are purely coincidental or otherwise parodic, and not cannon to their source stories and/or formats). Also, the legal page, and the corner author note on the front will be updated to respectively match my current name and other related items. The contents of this and the other completed and future books have been edited to allow the age range to be for the TV-Y7 and above. It will take me a week or two to put together the pages into the publishing site's template size, uploading them there, and then it will take up to another four weeks for them to print and ship the books to me, so I can autograph them and send them each off to each person who will have reserved a copy. Therefore, the estimated wait time for the books' full completion will be as late as the end of October of this year. Also, please do continue to show me your support by buying a medal, an amiibo figure, or donate towards my creation and peace of mind cause. Thank You, and have a Great and Safe Day.

On 23 September, Chris edited the first paragraph of this description to read:

Otherwise, you may go to the listing on lulu.com and order a physical copy for yourself there as well. My price here covers shipping from there to me, and then to you. Thank you.

In the second week of October, however, his Lulu account went down, and he had to change this again:

If you do not wish it autographed, please select the Variation Option of "Not Autographed Book".

Seriously, though: MEETING PEOPLE ONLINE, Communicating for WEEKS to MONTHS, even YEARS(?), Before EVER Meeting Face-to-Face IN PERSON, which is VITAL and REQUIRED for ANY True and Real Friendship AND Relationship... That is Plain NO GOOD! What happened to the days of EVERYONE Actually being Friendly towards one another in the towns and cities; even In This WORLD? WHY do we have to Fear Each Other for the FEAR and Unknown that has stemmed from Wars, Attacks, and Bad People? OMFG!!! Are we ALL so Bleeding Paranoid that we are forced into a Sense of Psuedo-Autism by remaining CONSTANTLY with our faces looking at Screens and Monitors, with LACK of REAL Eye Contact from Initial In Person, Face-to-Face MEETINGS at a Bar, Shopping Mall, College Library, or Coffee Shop?! Not Only do I, PERSONALLY, Suck at Meeting and Communicating with People ONLINE, ESPECIALLY to Establish Honest and Real and True Relationships in the Trials and Errors that are Not Only More Efficient and Better WITHOUT Hiding Behind Screens and Monitors,... *sigh* BUT I remain Constantly LONELY and Freaking SHY from Lack of Women ACTUALLY offering me their Time of Day Or Interest, Face-To-Face. But I digress. (Of which SEGA is still quoted for their Sonic characters, and Nintendo for Pikachu). But I have my own personal copyright on Sonichu, Rosechu, and everything else therein. Also, any names, or persons, illustrated in any of the Sonichu Comics, except that of my own, that may seem similar to anyone in real life or wherever else, are purely coincidental or otherwise parodic, and not cannon to their source stories and/or formats). Also, the legal page, and the corner author note on the front will be updated to respectively match my current name and other related items. The contents of this and the other completed and future books have been edited to allow the age range to be for the TV-Y7 and above.

Future plotlines

Over the years Chris has dropped a few hints about specific plotlines. At one point he stated, "METAL SONICHU is NOT a secondary character; HE will be making his return as a MAJOR VILLIAN after Book 11 Possessed by the soul of Count Graduon." He later elaborated, "Count Graduon will be the Major Villain beyond [Sonichu #10], possessing the Metal Sonichu that crashed on the moon back in Book 1. The issue may also move to RuleCWC: Chris has said that "Darkbind and Zelina will be fighting Clawdorf with great sword and bow/arrow battles."

There may also be a lack of Great Director intrusion: "After Book 10, I will be making LESS personal appearances in the pages, as having done so was a big mistake, because I had got carried away with the trials and tribulations in my life, real and online, that it completely messed me up."
