From: Joseph Jackson (josephwalterjackson1929@gmail.com) Hello again Christopher, First of all, thank you for answering my previous letter! Even at my old age (I'm 80 years young), I can recognize a genius when I see one, so it's an honor to have a correspondence with you. Here are a few more questions that I have remembered that I had wanted to ask you: 1. What caused your old pastor to perform a background check on you? I think that's a shocking invasion of your privacy, so I'm glad that you've found a better church. 2. Thank you for your advice regarding my son. I've tried to help him to the best of my abilities and even with my attempts to clean him up (he puts so much emphasis on his singing that his hygiene is quite poor), but he just ignores me. How do you think I should discipline him? I've tried just about everything, including restricting his internet and video game usage, but nothing seems to work. 3. Have you ever considered hiring a manager? In my experience dealing with the entertainment industry (I managed one of my son's careers many years back), I know that it is a very tricky and cruel business. Like I've said, you possess a powerful talent, so you should definitely look into safeguarding it. 4. I don't mean to invade your privacy, but can you tell me anything about your parents? They've done a terrific job of raising you, and I'm curious to know what techniques they used. They should be very proud of how you turned out. 5. How did you decide to devote yourself to creating comic books? I was browsing through your gallery of original artwork on the CWCipedia and I was surprised by the sheer variety of your artwork... from Pokemon cards to CD covers to magazine covers, and so on. Again, thank you so much for opening up this line of communication to you. I look forward to seeing where Sonichu will take you in the future! Sincerely, Joseph

From: Dan Ferraro (danqferraro23@gmail.com) Chris, I'm pleased to see that my favorite cartoonist is answering so much fan mail, and during the holidays when most people are so stressed out and busy! Some of these people are being extremely rude and I think you're handling it with a lot of poise and maturity. I'm actually writing you because you've said in a video that you were asked to leave the Wolf Scouts (it was Wolf Scouts, right?) for your Autism. I know the Boy Scouts of America have undergone some high-profile lawsuits for excluding certain minority group, but I was wondering why they'd make someone with an obvious disability leave their group. This seems highly unfair and would be the kind of thing I'd make a big fuss out of it ever happened to my child. (I'm not meaning to imply that you're extremely disabled or low-functioning here either, I mean you can drive a car and graduate from college, which are pretty big accomplishments for an autistic person.) Also there's the incident with the Green County School District where you say that multiple staff members held you down and recorded your screams: I might have some insight to this. Did you ever lose your temper as a child? Why, exactly, were they recording you? My wife works in Special Ed in the schools and they're actually allowed to restrain children that have violent temper tantrums if they're a danger to themselves or others. The faculty are all given extensive training to make sure they don't actually injure the child. Believe me, the Special Ed teachers are there to help the children grow into functional adults, not to hurt kids. Exactly how badly were you injured during this? I know this was almost 20 years ago but people have been able to sue and win for injuries that have happened long ago. Sorry if I'm prying, my brother's an attorney who handles discrimination lawsuits, and my mind started wandering. Personally I would have sued the pants off of both groups. But that's just me. Merry Christmas, - Dan

From: Cathy G (Catherine2@mail.ru) It's interesting to see you putting together ideas for future Family Guy shows. Will your ideas follow more of a rough outline, or will you type up actual scripts which detail the character's exact lines of dialogue and such? Since most of Family Guy's humor is based on referencing pop culture of the 80's and 90's you will do well at this. I'd specifically like to see more about Brian's girlfriend, as in what breed of dogs do you think are the most attractive? Which ones would be a good match for his personality? You tell me, you're the writer! -Cathy

From: Jacob N. (jacob_n333@yahoo.com) Good day, Christian! The recent developments in Sonichu 10 are quite fascinating. I anticipate a dramatic turn of events for no. 10, particularly what seems to be a burgeoning morality play in the form of your author avatar's monstrous actions in the future. Posing as his future self to take advantage of his future wife? Creating a "vaccine" for homosexuality from his blood? Disturbing stuff. Few writers would be willing to set up their characters as worse than Hitler--he had thousands of homosexuals murdered along with millions of Jews, but your avatar seems to be going the next step and genetically "correcting" millions of people! Terrifying! I'm quite the sucker for morality plays, but rarely have I seen authors so bold as to present their viewpoint character as a complete monster. I anticipate avatar-Christian learning a stirring moral lesson about human equality and dignity. As someone born with autism you have frequently felt the sting of being born with something beyond your ability to control and which is widely disliked or even hated among society at large. (Just to note, autism is NOT caused by immune boosters--that's a widely-spread lie and blatantly false, not to mention dangerous, as numerous diseases are making a resurgence and killing young children due to parents refusing vaccination for fear of mentally retarding their children. Autism is, as you know, genetic.) Being an author of the fantastic myself, I like using fantasy and science fiction as a means to explore the human condition, analyze important issues of the day, and metaphorically explore questions that have plagued mankind since the beginning. What motivated you to analyze the issue of homophobia and the monstrous treatment of gays in this way? I know you have politely corrected people who have seen homoerotic subtext in your work, but you claim to respect your gay fans. Surely you wouldn't be so callous and vile as to outright state they are morally and physically impure and worthy of being cleansed. That would be terrible. Congratulations in advance for a stirring exploration of morality! Cthulhu f'taghn, Jacob Nathaniel Lights-in-the-Sky

From: Madison Glen-Ross (ker0pi1999@gmail.com) Hey Chris!! I love your Sonichu comics!! My friends and I always try to stay up to date on what's cool!! I have a couple questions I hope you can answer!! 1. I was wondering if you could tell me more about your magic powers. They seem very interesting. Can you only curse and bless people, or can you do other things? How and when did you find out about your magic powers? Sometimes I wish I had magic powers, but nobody I know has them so I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. You must be really special!! 2. How come you don't wear those spiky wristbands and tattoo sleeves anymore? I had a bunch of those wristbands like Avril Lavigne but the school made me stop wearing them. Whatever!! Anyways I think they're really cool so you should wear them more often!! 3. Do you think it's all right for you to force your religion on people? I mean in the Sonichu comics you're supposed to dump a bunch of chemicals in the water supply so people will stop being gay so they'll get into Heaven. What if they're already happy being gay? And since heaven is where you get to do whatever you love to most, they'll just start being gay again once they get into Heaven. And what's the big deal with being gay anyway? You said yourself that the Bible's just a guideline and you don't have to do everything it says to be a good person. My uncle Ricky is really really gay and he's the nicest sweetest guy ever!! He's a Priest so I'm sure he's getting into Heaven. Anyways have fun!! Madison, age 10 <3 <3 <3 <3 xoxoxoxox PS PUT BELLA AND EDWARD FROM TWILIGHT IN YOUR COMICS!!

From: Johnny Marcus (johnny2day67@yahoo.com) Hello again Chris, I've got another question for you. I'm curious as to what you were doing in between you getting fired from Wendy's and the start of your Love Quest (best of luck to you with that, BTW). You don't really seem to talk too much about that period, so what were you doing aside from attending PVCC? I hope there's some great drawings you did during that time. Cheers, Johnny
