Mailbag 3
Mailbag 3 is the third collection of fan mail to be posted on CWCipedia. It is currently awaiting Chris's attention. Given that there are far more letters on this page than the previous one, and that there are more stress-inducing negative letters, odds are that Chris will not have them all answered before his next birthday.

Hi there, Chris-chan! ^^ My name is Michael Pandamus, I'm seventeen years old, and I am the biggest fan of Sonichu, I swear! GO SONICHU, GO OUT AND ZAP TO THE EXTREEEEEME! But that's not what I'm here to contact you about. I have a twin sister, Shelley, who is a boyfriend-free girl, and she is sad as can be. Whenever I look at her, I can feel vibes of sadness from her lonesome heart, and it makes me feel sad as can be. I always comfort her and tell you "Shelley, someday your sweetheart will come for you, dare to keep all your love alive, it's leading you on to victory," but Shelley has fallen into despair by now. She longs for a boyfriend, and what am I to do? T^T I need advice from you, Chris-chan. Please tell me what I should tell (or do for) my sister so that her heart level can be recovered and rise hopefully to 100%. Thank you! Truely and Honestly Yours,
Mike |

First off, how long do you see yourself working with Sonichu? Once it becomes more mainstream and more people become involved with it, will you give the franchise to other people? Or will this be a life-long thing? Is there any chance of a graphic novel coming soon? Maybe you'll compound the current volumes into one graphic novel to make it easier for people to access them? I think that would be a good idea. What is with the captains log I see on your site now? Is that a reference to Star Trek? And lastly, what's your favorite food? I'm looking to change some of my diet and I'd like your advice, if you don't mind. Love, Crystle Lampitt |

Dear Christian, My name is Nick and I've been an avid reader of Sonichu for years now. Today I think I have found the courage to admit something to you and the world. I have a crush on Rosechu! Having said that, I would like you to know that it SHATTERED MY HEART to see that she was married. I know, I know, Rosechu is a comic book character but now I have trouble imagining my swooping in to save her! Is there a chance that Sonichu and Rosechu will get a divorce? Is divorce legal in Cwcville? I was wondering if there are going to be any new bad guys in the comic too, and if you will be returning to stop them! Your fan, Nick |

Mr. Chandler, I am a single woman, 25 years old, writing in to commend you on your comic, "Sonichu". I greatly enjoy it, and it has changed my life for the better. My favourite character is Simonla, because she reminds me of an anime I also enjoy. My dream is to see her get a bigger role in the comic, as an assertive "action girl" instead of the passive character she currently is. However, I understand if you do not want to write such a thing — after all, the star of Sonichu is Mr. Chandler. I would also like to ask about a controversy in the Sonichu fandom. Some persons in the bad parts of the fandom have raised doubts about your sexuality. Now, please do not get angry — I know that you are straight, and I know that you are a good person. However, these people have said that you might be neither straight nor gay — that is, they say Mr. Chandler might have no sexual attraction to men, and not to women either. This is known as "asexuality" (please consult Wikipedia for further information on asexuality). I would like to have an official statement on what Mr. Chandler thinks about asexuality, to clear up this controversy. Again, I am not doubting that you are attracted to women. Lastly: If you need help with your love quest, please send me a mail. I know what a woman wants. (I'm not available, though. I would like to stay single for the time being.) Best regards, Namiko Izuta P.S. I have noticed that you have stated Asperger syndrome to be "nothing like autism". There are actually many similarities. Perhaps you are thinking of Alzheimer's disease, an entirely different disorder that causes memory loss? I'm sorry, I know this subject is confusing. Please do not take it personally. |

Hi Chris. I was wondering, are there any GHOST or POISON Pokemon type Sonichus or Rosechus? It would be cool if you could include those types in the future. I made my own, Skeleta Rosechu. She is ghost/poison type and is very skinny and she is undead. I hope you like this pic of her! ~ Abejita |

Dear Chris-chan, I just discovered Sonichu a few days ago, and I've got to say, I'm a little disappointed to see you've completely ripped off Static the Pikachu (found at http://statx015.deviantart.com/gallery/#Static-the-Pikachu). ; Sonichu is a poor man's Static, too. The comic, quite frankly, looks like it's drawn by a retard using Crayola markers, and the writing is no better. Sonichu, unlike Static, has no personality. He's just the same as all the other characters, and has a personality as deep as kiddie pool. And now I read you've gone and lied to the government, claiming you've invented Sonichu? What a load. It's bigshots like you who steal from the little guy and screw him over by defrauding the government, abusing the laws for their own gain (like people who collect welfare when they could just go get a job and serve a function to the society outside being a leech) who really get to me. I suppose you can just ignore this letter, delete this comments, but ignoring it and ignoring me won't make me or my ideas just disappear. We'll reveal you for the fake you are, "Christian" (that's not even your God given name! Your real name was Christopher until you stole Christian from the Conductor Bear!). You're a phony! Your a big fat phony! Sincerely, Mark, from Missouri |

Hey, CWC! I just got a few questions for you... 1. Do you use Photoshop? If so, do you use the recent CS4 version? 2. As a fellow artist, you probably know just how important it is to do drawings from life (especially figure drawing!). How much time a day do you spend sketching from life? 3. Do you have a sketchbook to draw in? If so, can we see it? 4. Do you have any ideas for other comics/stories? 5. Have you ever been on tvtropes.org? Thank you! |
| From: Preved Medvedev <medved.1983@mail.ru>
Hello, Christian! My name is Preved Medvedev, I live in Moscow, Russia. I've been following the exciting adventures of Sonichu and his friends for quite a long time, from 2005 I think, and consider myself your true fan. Maybe your first Russian fan ever! I'd be very glad if you found time to answer my questions: 1. I've been always fascinated with the characters you create. You depict their personalities so vividly, I can always relate to them. That's what defines a true artist's work, in my opinion! My question is about the villains in your comics. They are always so vile, so evil and repulsive, you can't help but hate and detest them. :)What I want to ask you is - how do come with the names for your villains? Especially Count Graduon, Merried Seinor Comic, Turdijerk - all these names sound so bizarre, and yet creative! Could you please tell the story about how you created each of those names? I'd like to read such an insight into your uniquely creative mind! 2. What do you think about Russia and Russians in general? Would you like to visit someday? Lol :) I'd also like to add that I'm very, very glad that the new update schedule hasn't lowered the high quality of your art! Please keep up the good work! Your true Russian fan, Preved. P.S.: I also got my younger sister Ieva into your comics recently. She's 19, and has a fun and caring personality. Your comics helped her overcome her insecurities, and cope with all the stress she gets in college. Big thanks and hugs from her too! :) |

Hey Chris, how are you? Just wanted to send you this message to say how great the comics are so far. It's great that your adding some new pages, we were waiting for so long! But the wait was worth it, and I see that the comics are as good as ever. Just wanted to ask, what happened to the sub-episodes? Those were the best part of the comic. Anyway, I'll write some more later, and send some fan art. Your Fan, Timothy PS I had a suggestion. You should make a comic that looks into the future of the characters, to see what life will be like for them maybe 20 years later. |

Hello Mr. Chandler, I am a 20-years-young boy from Canada and I love Sonichu and Rosechu TO THE EXTREME LOL. When I grow up, I want to be a successful comic artist just like you! My mother says she will kick me out of our house if I don't find a job by the end of the year, but finding a job is too stressful, and I want to practice my drawing! She says I'm lazy and sometimes beats me. What should I do? Sincerely, Christopher B. Matthews P.S.: Attached is a picture I drew on my computer. What do you think? |

Hello Chirstan Weston Chandler. My name is Richard Paul Ferguson, and I have a serious problem. I am a homo. I have tried to STAY STRAIGHT, but all my attempts have failed. I am considering changing my name to Stacy Ann Ferguson and getting a sex change. I have been a fan of yours for years and don't know who else to ask, so what do you you think I should do, Chris? Sincerely, Richard "Stacy" Ferguson |
| From: Jonathon Rogan <greenindirt@gmail.com>
Hello Chris, first off I must say that I love your comics, if I did not I would not care enough to ask you this: When I first saw your comics I showed them to some of the people on the online forums that I go to that love webcomics. Now, they all said that while the drawing and the comics themselves are wonderful that there is something wrong. They claimed (probably lies) that you hated homosexuals. I went to your website where you claimed that you had no problems about homosexuals and only disliked those prideful about it (I hate the gay pride parades as well). Soon however I saw a recent response from you about some fanmail where you talked about an upcoming comic SPOILER ALERT where you have to create a vaccine for homosexuality. As an unprideful homosexual myself, I found this post by you as being incredibly hateful towards the homosexual community as a whole and entirely out of line from where you claimed you had no problem with homosexuals who kept it to themselves. I am incredibly hurt by your comments and would like to see you try and justify them. I have also noticed you have been erasing messages from other homosexuals and if I don't see a response to this one, I will tell anyone else who would listen to me about it. -Homer Thiessen |

Hi sweetie ;)
I'm a fairly new fan of the comic but got caught up very quickly on your CWCipedia...thanks in advance for answering my question! I just want to say you're obviously very talented; I don't know what's up with all those dang trolls that bother you, but they need to grow up!
Anyway, I read in the Comics Journal that Tracy Yardley of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic can draw an issue in 2 weeks, but once drew an entire issue in 3 days! Said he just got in the sonic groove and finished in no time! What's the quickest you've ever finished a Sonichu comic book?
Thanks! ---{--@ Leslie}}

Me llamo Luciana "Luz" Paz, nosotras somos un grupo de fans que le gusta sus obras de arte que usted hacer señor Ricardo. Pero por mala suerte, nosotras no estudiamos ingles haciendo que tengamos que usar el traductor de google para poder entender ese complicado idioma, asi que le queríamos preguntar si usted podría hacer su comic con idioma Dual (Ingles/Español) para que todas sus fans habla hispanas podamos leer sin tener que hacer tanto trabajo por burbuja de texto, ya que vos sos totalmente una de los mejores estadounidenses que habla en nuestro idioma (Casi no se nota). Muchas gracias Señor Ricardo Weston Chandler Con mucho cariño y gracias por escucharnos, Grupo MxS. Mexico por Sonichu. |

My wife and I really love reading your comic to our daughter Cristal! She's just crazy about Sonichu and his pals! We think it does a great job of teaching her good values like respecting people despite their beliefs and to be accepting and kind to everyone. Our little girl's one less person out on the 'kick the autistic' field and I'm sure there will be others to stand on the sidelines with her thanks to your wonderful comic. God bless you, Sonichu. PS our Cristal drew a picture especially for you. (actually she drew two but we couldn't get the scanner to pick the other one up well so she made you one in paint. Next time though!) Keep up the great work! |

Hi Christian! My name is Ellada Hellas and I am big fan of your sonichu comic. My family and I live in Greece, and sonichu is really big thing in here. My father makes living selling sonichu merchandise to tourists, and after I saw you got officially registered copyrights for sonichu I have tried to make him stop this illegal activity. But my father suffers from bad case of Alzheimer disease which makes him forget my words, and go back to sell illegal sonichu merchandise. We are a poor family as we make only approx. 67 000 USD on yearly basis. So I want to know, Is there any way to prevent your lawyers from suing our family? |

PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED MY VISION OF AMERICAN ART, A COMBINATION OF "THE OLD" AND "THE NEW" (REPRESENTED BY SONICHU AND ROSCHU). I AM FROM THE EASTERN EUROPE AND AM LIVING IN DEEPEST LONDON THE SPIRIT OF AMERICAN ART THAT YOU PROVIDE IN THE FORM OF THE OUTSIDER "ANTI-HERO" SONICHU MAKES ME WEEP FOR THE SOUL OF MANKIND SONICUH IN A WAY SYMBOLISES AMERICA. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS IF THAT WAS DIELIBERATE? DID YOU SET OUT TO MAKE SONICHU APPEAR LIKE A SYMBOL FOR ALL AMERICA? BECUASE HE IS. WHEN WILL BLACK SONICHU?

Hi Chris, This is Red, the guy who you said drew a "retarded" picture of Sonichu. I've gotta say, man. I'm a little hurt and insulted. I put a lot of work into that picture, because I wanted to make my hero happy and proud of my efforts to please him. You've said yourself that constructive criticism is so much better than hurtful words, and yet here you are saying that me and my drawing are "retarded". You cannot possibly understand the kind of pain and heartbreak and hurt I am feeling at being called "retarded". Do you treat all your fans like this? I can't believe that you would treat a True and Honest fan so hurtfully. What's more, I used your picture of yourself on page S-13 of Issue 4 as a reference for it. He's talking and making a "point" with his finger. Not retarded. I'm sorry, I'm just so upset. I wanted to draw you a fan picture 'cause you've given me so much entertainment and happiness, so I wanted to try and do some small amount of the same for you. Then to get it thrown back in my face by a person that I see as such an hero to me, and called "retarded" by him... It just hurts so much. Your fan, -Red. |

Any how I'm in 6th grade and all the boys in my class call me gay just because I don't have a girlfriend! But I am STRAIGHT! Seeing how you are my hero, Cristian Weston Chandler and the strightest guy I know how can I convince them that I am NOT a homo? |

Dear Christian Weston Chandler, Shalom! Let me first congratulate you on working on Sonichu for almost ten years now. Many schmucks would have given up by now but you've kept with it, so congratulations, and Mazel Tof! However, I do have a complaint. When I am reading the Sonichu comics, I find myself wondering, "Where's the diversity?" All of the characters, personality-wise, seem the same, and a lot of the characters seem to be just Sonic only colored differently (for example, Sonichu is a yellow Sonic, Rosechu is a pink girl Sonic, Bionic is an orange Sonic, Wild is a green Sonic, and so forth). Additionally, being a Jewish man myself, I find I have problems relating with this comic because there are no Jewish characters. But instead of just kvetshing, I said to myself "Harold, I know you can make yourself a Jewish Sonichu character for the Christian Weston Chandler Sonichu comic book pages" and so I did it. I hope you appreciate this little piece of fanart I put together using MS Paint (I myself am not the artist you are) and you are free to use the fan character I have made to diversify and jew up your Sonichu books. Sincerely, Harold Goldstein |
| From: David Crass <crasscrab@gmail.com>
Dear Chris Why is Rosechu so useless? It's like she's some sort of classical feminine trope. The only time she has ever actually done anything was when she sexually assaulted Jason Kendrick Howell. I don't know how you see it, but as far as I can tell, Rosechu is little more than a sex object. I mean, all she seems to do through most of the comic is hang on Sonichu, take nude pictures of herself, and get kidnapped. Care to explain how exactly it is that you preach women's rights while at the same time falling back on classic female caricatures? Sincerly, David Crass PS: Your plots seem to be getting more and more convoluted and unnessarily complicated, with nothing ever tying together and a myriad of new characters being introduced and retconned, only to play no real role within the overall plot. |

Hi Chris, Hope you're doing well! Just wanted to tell you that I'm a devoted fan of your wonderful creations. I have fallen on hard times recently, and I have to say that seeing how you have risen above adversity, always giving 100% effort to your fans is very inspiring. I'm estranged from my parents due to a situation that has brought a lot of stress into my life. From your comics, I have the sense that you have a very strong bond with your parents, in particular with your mother - can you share some of the things that you do that strengthen your family relationships? Also, since I will spend Thanksgiving alone, I've been thinking...how about a Sonichu Thanksgiving special? What's a typical Thanksgiving like for you? Thank you for your time, and looking forward to the upcoming installments! I can't wait to read how your straight blood cures the homo gene! I'm sure that's going to be an epic story for the times! Your fan, Roger |

Dear Christian Weston Chandler, My name is Zechariah Edwardo Nillson, I am a HUGE fan of sonichu. I am also a sufferer of Aspergers, I like you comics because I find your struggles in life similar to mine and can relate to them. So I was wondering why does it "grind your gears" to have high functioning autism and aspergers compared? They are infat very similar, if you go to the following site, http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/high-functioning-autism they directly cmpare the two and state that they are very similar. To qoute the page: "High-functioning autism is at one end of the ASD spectrum. Signs and symptoms are less severe than with other forms of autism. In fact, a person with high-functioning autism usually has average or above average intelligence. The differences from other forms of autism have led many psychiatrists to consider high-functioning autism as similar to or the same as Asperger's syndrome. Whether it's labeled high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome, coping with this condition presents daily challenges -- for those who have it and for their family and friends." Im very glad that you are making comics so regularly and I hope that youl please rethink your stance on Aspergers syndrome. Peace. |

Ohayou, Christian-Kun! My name is Mitsuki. I am a 19 year old (and single ;) ) girl, I come from Japan, but I am living in Virginia as a foreign exchange student. I enjoy drawing and reading manga. You, are my favorite Gaijin mangaka, Christian-Kun, and I find you super kawaii handsome!! Your art is without doubt as great as the most respected Japanese artists such as Yoshimoto Nata, Gechu and Mariko Mori. My favorite Sonichu character is Punchy! He is so funny. I have a few questions, if I may. 1: Do you enjoy the Japanese culture? 2: Can you include more anime in your comics? 3: What type of music do you like? 4: How do you handle the stress of slanderous trolls? I think it is truly honorable how you deal with them.

Chris, I've been a fan for quite some time, and I am glad you're taking the time to talk to your fans AND do a page a day. You are clearly a very talented individual for being able to do this. Knowing how true, honest, and straight you are, I was hoping you could help me. In the past you mentioned using a Sailor Moon poster to remain straight, and I've recently been having some 'confusing' thoughts pop into my head. Do you think I should purchase a Sailor Moon poster to help me stay on the straight path? Keep up the excellent work, I love how Sonichu(c) showed that brown striped impostor his place! Your fan, Adam |

HI CHRIS!!!!!! I was wondering but because you are one of the last surviving of the respected Cherokian clan, do you feel it is right that Americans enjoy Turkey every Thanksgiving to celebrate the suffering of your people? By George Custer. |

Hi Christian! So great that you answer to questions from your fans! I was just wondering, will Sonees and Rosees ever grow up? Will they have their own heartsweets? Also, since you are such a ladies man, could you help me? I'm a single man and I'm wondering how to get a girlfriend. Can you tell me how could I attract girls? Should I wear axe? Is it okay to touch them right after I meet them? I'm having a gay problem too. My friend is gay, and I wonder how can I cure him? I try to tell him to stay in straight path, but he never listens. But anyway, I also drew a fanart for you! Tell me what you think about it :) - Iaam |

Yes Christian, you are ignoring the questions and comments in your "Rejected Mailbag". By not responding to them, you're ignoring them. It doesn't matter whether or not you would "care to respond to them". For someone who loves to dish out homophobia, racism, and religious bigotry you seem to have a hard time taking the heat when somone questions it. Do you know what that makes you? A coward. You're nothing but a naive, arrogant, selfish coward, and you wonder why you have such bad luck with women? Cowardice isn't a respectable trait, women don't find it attractive. People like you make me sick. I can't believe I spent so much time reading your comics when they were nothing more than venues to express your hatred and bigotry. Good day, coward. |
