Sonichu #13, also known as The Awakening of a CPU aka The Idea Guy Corruptions, is an issue which was heavily directed by the Idea Guy trolls. It features a story on how one of their fictional troll characters, John Yamada, came to influence Chris, and covers an incoherent series of plot threads involving pieces of lore the Idea Guys had brainwashed into Chris.

This "comic" is unusual (even by Chris's standards) in consisting mostly of huge blocks of expository text, with illustrations running in narrow columns, or even relegated to the margins, on most pages. The writing-heavy style does not go well with the rough hand-drawn lettering, or Chris's usual difficulties with run-on sentences and paragraphs, making the issue rather irritating to read through.

Despite being aware that the Idea Guys turned out to be trolls, Chris still believes the abnormally bizarre events depicted in this comic are canon and happened, evidenced when he wrote the epilogue, The Awakening of a CPU, several months later.
