Mailbag 46

Mailbag 46 was uploaded to the CWCipedia on 24 January 2010 and answered on 26 January.

Once again, Chris shows off his censorship powers by deleting half of the letters given to him, proving the hypocrisy that he showed off in Mailbag 45.

Amongst the answered letters, he mentions that he's going to a social group and has met someone there, claims to be in thought of rebooting his franchise, reveals another bit of his past and claims his characters have personality.

Two hip wallflowers

From: Kevin Peter Hall <gettodachoppa1987@aol.com> Why are you lying about still drawing the comic even if you're not uploading pages? I mean, if you have pages, why not take the five minutes to upload them? Or does that cut into your busy schedule of smoking pot all day and doing nothing?

I am not lying; I have been drawing and coloring on a daily basis; I can not help it if I Have A Life To Enjoy Too; I have joined a Young Adult Social Group, and I have met a lovely woman there who likes me too; we are hitting it off like two hip wallflowers. You have a life too; Understand My Needs, and let me Have My Life.

Chris ignores more advice

From: Tom Green <tomagreen@gmail.com> Dear Christian-Chan Sonichu I have noticed that your Sonichu franchise is failing horribly, being overtaken by the newer and more hip Asperchu. If you truly want to hold on to any remaining fans, drastic action is needed. A current trend in Hollywood for failing franchises is a full on reboot. Batman, The Punisher, Sherlock Holmes and even Spiderman have done it now. Clearly this is the only course of action you have left for your miserable little comic. Some suggestions I have for the style are to make it more realistic and gritty, maybe with a little violence and gore mixed in too. With a reboot you can also redraw the raichu that transforms into a female instead of a male, ending all accusations of Rosechu being a dickgirl. Thank you for listening to my suggestions and I hope you consider what I have brought to the table. Sincerely, Thomas Andrew 'Antonio' Greene

Your letter has been read; I will make all decisions soundly and appropriately.

We all believe you, Chris

From: Keith Keithson <allisfine1@gmail.com> Question, when did you stop wetting the bed?

When I was 2.

Really?

From: Hamsty the Hamster <hamstythehamster@gmail.com> You should kill off like half your characters. Then you can focus on a main core. Your ensemble cast doesn't match up to the greatness of The Office. They have personalities, granted they've been stretched thin since like Season 3, but still, at least they have PERSONALITY.

My characters Have Personality.

Gone Forever

Chris doesn't enhance anything

From: D'Shanayqua Jones <blackastheaceofspaces1983@yahoo.com> Chris, I know you like word games and codes and stuff. Do you like anagrams, where you rearrange the letters of someone's name to spell something else? "Christian Weston Chandler" is an anagram for "Antichrist Enhances World". Later D'Shanayqua

Crystal's death is canon

From: Sean Watley <seanawatley@gmail.com> Chris, I'm killing off Crystal Weston Chandler in an upcoming Moon-Pals. Yawning Squirtle will take too much LSD, chop off her head, and use it as a soccer ball. Please reflect these changes in the next Sonichu so as not to confuse anyone. And please unblock my email as soon as possible. Also, failing to publish the new pages you've (allegedly) completed isn't impressing your fans. Is this how you deal with competition? Have a nice day, Sean Watley

If Chris's sweethearts die violently, why can't Wild's?

From: Evang7 <evang7@gmail.com> I don't care if Simonla dies violently. You can kill her in a number of other ways. Maybe you can have her die from AIDS and do a chapter to teach the kids about the dangers of unprotected sex or something. Just kill her off, I don't care if it's violent. And don't use my Simonchu ever again. I'm just sending this to you because apparently you think the only way to kill a character is through extreme violence, so I guess I'll give you ONE MORE CHANCE, if only because I was never clear on it. As long as she ends up dead and Simonchu never appears in your comics again, I'm down. Why do you even care about Simonla being left alive? She's a boring character with no personality. What makes her different from any of the other female characters? Absolutely nothing. Simonla exists solely to give Wild a girlfriend, and there's absolutely no other aspects to her. She has absolutely no fans, I'm pretty sure every other former Sonichu fan I've talked to hates Simonla. Killing her off might get you back all those fans you've lost by showing a little care for them, for once. My Simonchu comics are much more popular, and it shows how much you've ruined the character by giving him a china. I'm not gonna just "let it go" because you're NOT a "great director". You're a comic artist, and you have to deal with legal issues involving your characters when they arise. You can't pretend a lawsuit isn't imminent and just hope it goes away if you ignore it. This is serious and if you don't do something about this I'll have to take some drastic measures. We're Keeping Track.

Questions

If Rosechu is a Raichu, that means she's more evolved then Sonichu, who is a Pikachu. Shouldn't she be more powerful than Sonichu and be the leader? A: Evolution makes no difference; Rosechu is equally as powerful as Sonichu; Sonichu is the main character; Rosechu has equal leadership roles, so she leads when appropriate.

Why do you think you are better artist than Alec, aside from low-resolution and his style's blockiness? Is there something wrong to have quirky and blocky drawing style? A: How about the fact that his style looks Retarded and something that a 2-Year Old can do? There's nothing wrong, unless you want to be TRULY Respected as an Avid Artist and Serious Person.

Why is Flame the Sunbird a ripoff of Kazooie? A: Flame was NEVER taken from Kazooie; if anything, he is MORE similar to Knuckles, but with a Sunbird Form.

You have expressed disdain for Asperchu and Simonchu, but how do you feel about Moon-Pals? Have you read it? If not, it would only be fair for you to do so. A: I have read Moon-Pals, and I feel that it is more like Moon-Dorks the way Sean draws and Portrays their Events so Grotesquely.

How many fans do you think you have? Please specify one of the following options: 0-10, 11-100, 101-1000, 1001-10000, 10000+. A: 1000000000+.

How many fans do you think Asperchu has? Please specify one of the following options: 0-10, 11-100, 101-1000, 1001-10000, 10000+. This question was left unanswered.
