Common Questions

In late December 2009 the CWCipedia Mailbags gained a new subsection, a series of short questions allegedly asked by many people who had written to Chris. Chris was surprisingly diligent about answering all of these Common Questions with every new mailbag. The answers, unsurprisingly, were erratic at best. Sometimes Chris provided far too much information, other times he would provide a single word in response when a longer answer would have been expected. On occasion, he would change the text in the question itself to suit his needs, a practice of editing he'd been using in the mailbags since day one.

All of his answers have been compiled here, arranged by the date on which he answered them.

28 December 2009

• Q: Have you ever read any books on how to go about creating art? E.G. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, The Elements of Style, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, On Writing, or things like internet tutorials?

A: I have read such books, and I have taken many arts classes too.

• Q: If you were a director in Hollywood, what kinds of films would you make?

A: Action/Steamy (Striaght) Romance

• Q: You said you read R.L. Stine books when you were in high school. What kind of books do you read now? "Literary" fiction? Genre, like mystery or horror or science fiction? Nonfiction?

A: I read less books now, although the last book I read was Pamela Anderson's Star.

• Q: Have you considered creating non-Sonichu comics or stories?

A: Yes, and the ideas are still in my head.

• Q: Have you ever accepted and used constructive criticism in your comics? Or do you blow off anything anyone says that is slightly negative, even if their intentions are to help you improve your art?

A: I have accepted and used ideas and criticism; one such example was the Sonichu Animations from YouTube User: Timmys1984; it was very good, yet the lines were wrong originally. At least I have set that record straight in my 9th Book.

• Q: Why do you steal jokes from so many other sources (i.e. Family Guy and Excel Saga) and put it in your comics? It isn't very original and you can't come up with an original concept if all the humor in your comics is stolen.

A: Like Family Guy, Simpsons, Excel Saga, and even South Park, taking jokes is of acceptable practice; it works when the author is short on original jokes, and wants to fill in a good one. Everybody does it. "Simpsons Did It."

• Q: Describe your artistic process. How do you get inspiration for ideas for your comics? What goes through your head when you draw and color your comics?

A: I get the idea beforehand in random thought/imagination/dream, get pen and paper and write/draw it out. A lot goes through my head, and it is hard for me as a creative genius to remember it all on-the-spot verbatim.

• Q: We all know you have autism, but exactly what type do you have? There are multiple types on the spectrum.

A: High-Functioning Autism.

• Q: What do you plan to do after you have found your true sweetheart and had your daughter Crystal?

A: I will live my family life as I had dreamed and waited for hapily.

• Q: What would you do if either of you turned out to be infertile?

A: That is just plain stupid; I am VERY Fertile; Certified in the Medical Clinic, and I would make sure my woman has not hit Menopause yet.

• Q: What would you do if you found your sweetheart, fell in love with her, married her, but she could only give birth to male children?.

A: It is a 50/50 chance among all women; I trust God to come through in his promise as he has told me before. I will keep trying though; I am not King Henry VIII.

• Q: Aside from creating Sonichu and Rosechu and excluding your future accomplishment of getting a true sweetheart and having your daughter Crystal, what is your greatest accomplishment in life and why?

A: Graduating High School and College; I have learned a LOT and met the requirements; it's all good.

• Q: What are your top five priorities in life and why?

A: 1) Good Health - Who wants to be ill or sick? 2) Happiness - I don't like being sad. 3) Love - I want to feel loved and appreciated by my closest ones. 4) Projects/Job - It gives me something to do. 5) Money - It does not make the world go around, but everyone wants it to feel like they are getting something out of a deal.

• Q: If you were made the absolute leader of the entire world for a day and your word was taken as law, what sorts of things would you do to make the world a better place?

A: All Men and Women would be paired up in straight couples, leaving none alone; any remaining will be saved for upcoming men/women respectively. All gays would be reprogrammed and encouraged to be straight.

• Q: What about fucking sex dolls, masturbating, drawing smut? Isn't this all forbidden for true Christians?

A: It is not forbidden; that would be the Jews who are against those things, and I am not Jewish, and I respect them as individual people.

• Q: Contrary to what you stated in issue 8, the age of consent in most of the United States is BELOW 18 (17 or 16). What is your opinion on this?

A: I understand that SOME states have that law, and I feel that it is good; it broadens the range by one or two years, so one would feel lest restricted.

• Q: What would you say is the most romantic thing you have ever done with or to a woman?

A: Sensual, emotionally-linked eye-contact.

• Q: We've been hearing about your creations becoming more and more popular amongst the gay community. What are your thoughts on this?

A: Firstly, their perspectives of my work are flawed; they misunderstand some points, and I do not care for that at all; It is a STRAIGHT Comic; Homosexuality Lifestyle is HEAVILY DISCOURAGED and DETESTED. Second, I really feel hatred in them placing MY characters in their events WRONGFULLY, even in... UGH!!!... pride parades and essays promoting their lifestyle. All of My Sonichus and Rosechus Are Straight! And I Am Straight! DO NOT SAY OTHERWISE, Because It is Mislabeling; it is Very Wrong, and I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT AT ALL.

• Q: Do you plan to give an ending to Sonichu's story?

A: No.

• Q: Do Sonichu and Rosechu have full names (that is, two-part names, like all other Sonichus and Rosechus)? If so, what are they?

A: No, they are the very first Sonichu and Rosechu, so they do not have such names.

• Q: You follow the Bible rigorously and believe homosexuality will send you to Hell. However, the Bible says that having unmarried sex will send you to Hell as well. Explain your reasonings you choose to ignore God's word and not waiting until after marriage but instead "after the 3rd date".
  

A:Those more strict rules apply to the Jewish, especially the book of Leviticus. I am a Christian Methodist, and as long as we feel comfortable and happy with our lives, if the Christian individual feels comfortable with premarital sex, then it is cool.

• Q: Can you justify your anti-homosexuality? How exactly?
  

A: Yes; the Homos I have heard from try to push their damn lifestyle in my face, and I DO NOT CARE FOR THAT AT ALL; What they do behind closed doors is None Of My Business, and I still Do Not Care to know a Damn Thing about it.

• Q: Why does Rosechu wear clothes while Sonichu does not? Additionally, why are Lolisa, DJ Jamsta, and Rosechu the only Sonichus and Rosechus who wear clothing?

05 January 2010

• Q: If Sonichu got published how much would each Issue cost?

A: He only stops for a rescue, social life, eating a chili dog, tacos or whatever he feels like chowin' down, and to relax at home with his family.

07 January 2010

• Q: You said that you confess your sins and pray every night. What sins do you confess?

• Q: What exactly happened when you were called into Mary Lee Walsh's office?

A: That was one time I would rather not go into or recall.

I responded very angrily and verbally abused her back. Then I was kicked out for a year with Anger Management and Psychiatrist assistance.

A: I do not type in Caps at Random; I type those phrases or words in caps to EMPHASIZE MY POINT OR FACT.

A: I estimate that I started hating them about Summer, 2003 just after I started my Sweetheart Search, where I received the response from one woman, "Ooh, I'm sorry, I am a Lesbian." That, combined with my PAST dislike of MEN in general AND the later pictured images of such acts led me to DISGUST AND HATRED FOR THE HOMOSEXUALS. Plus ALL of the Homos within the Trolls AND all Homosexual Fans with their WRONGFUL Quoting of MY comics and characters in THEIR PAPERS and ESSAYS promoting homosexuality, and EVEN WORSE a Sonichu BALLOON in one of their God DAMED Pride Parades!!! ALL OF THESE FACTORS have ONLY made my view of the Homosexual Males WORSE! And I will say this again, SONICHU IS STRAIGHT, YOU DUMBASS GAYWADS.

26 January 2009
