:''This article discusses the award-winning comic series '''''Asperchu''''' and its relationship with [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. For information about the ''Asperchu'' series itself, please see [[Asperchu/Background]].''
'''''Asperchu''''' is a multiple award-winning comic series created by Alec Benson Leary of {{w|Eden Prairie, Minnesota}}.<ref>[[Mailbag 19#A very Asperchu Christmas]]</ref> His [[Chris and art|deft artwork]], [[Chris and writing|gripping stories, and excellent characterization]] has resulted in the series gaining hundreds of fans in the few short months since its inception. Many of these fans were discontented followers of the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]], who were turned off by the comics becoming exponentially more disturbing.
==Similarities to Chris==
[[Image:Asperchu-and-sonichu-meet.jpg|thumb|left|The first drawing Alec sent Chris.]]
[[File:Vote sonichu for DA.jpg|thumb|[[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] for DA.]]
While Alec has stated that Asperchu is not a parody of [[Chris]],<ref>[[Mailbag 32]]</ref> there are many similarities between the two. Both of them are [[Obesity|overweight]], [[Pedo-Glasses|bespectacled]], [[The Classic|striped-shirt wearing]] [[naïve]] individuals who find themselves somewhat out of place in the world. They both address the masses through [[List of videos|YouTube videos]], and both are preoccupied with finding a [[boyfriend-free girl]] to make into a [[sweetheart]].
These similarities between the two characters has resulted in no shortage of [[Chris and anger|rage]] from Chris. He seems to feel that the only reason Asperchu exists is to poke fun at him. He also takes serious offense at the idea of a [[Sonichu (species)|Sonichu]] who suffers from [[Asperger syndrome]], for [[Chris and his ego|some reason]].
==Chris on Asperchu==
{{quote|''Die'', you son of a bitch! Alec... '''Die'''.|[[Chris]]<ref>[[Down With Asperchu]]</ref>}}
[[File:AsperchuNoHomo.JPG|thumb|The second drawing Alec sent Chris.]]
It's no secret that Chris hates Asperger's syndrome (and presumably everybody that suffers from it), due to some illusory sense of competition between Asperger's and other disorders on the [[autism]] spectrum. The knowledge that someone had created a series about an [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] who suffered from the affliction did not sit well with him. He became even angrier when the creator of the series himself started sending him e-mails.
The first recorded communication we have between Alec and Chris implies that Alec had been in contact with him multiple times outside of the public view and that Chris had responded to these communications negatively.<ref>[[Mailbag 10#Meet Asperchu]]</ref> Chris didn't respond any better on his public mailbag, claiming that Alec was jealous of him and inexplicably alleging that the included fan art of Asperchu and Sonichu implied [[homos]]exuality. 
Upset that Chris would jump to such conclusions, Alec sent him another letter, depicting Sonichu and Asperchu having good, masculine, straight fun.<ref>[[Mailbag 17#Sonichu loves Asperchu no homo]]</ref> This letter was even more poorly received.
Undaunted, Alec continued to send letters to Chris's mailbag, thinking that perhaps the man he respected so much really just misunderstood him. A few of these letters were [[Mailbag 19#A very Asperchu Christmas|ignored]], some were [[Mailbag 28#Hey kids, it's Asperchu!|coldly dismissed]], but Chris's most [[Mailbag 31#Asperchu is the shit|notable]] [[Mailbag 32#Parodies|responses]] were explosive outbursts of [[Chris and anger|anger]] and hatred. Eventually, Chris began [[Mailbag 35#No comment|refusing to respond]] to Alec's correspondence, or [[Mailbag 34#Asperpedia!|deleting his messages outright]].
In ''Asperchu'' Issue C, Chris made an appearance asking for help from the characters to save Asperchu. Later, he and [[Liquid Chris|CChanSonichuCWC]] met up with each other, leading to a standoff where Chris tried to shoot him. Chris [[Asperchu is a Horrendous Joke|responded]] to the comic, mentioning that he was set on fire in the comic. He didn't seem to notice that he was also called by the name [[Ian Brandon Anderson]], nor did he notice the appearance of Liquid Chris.
When the ''Asperchu'' saga started taking off, Chris's schedule for [[Sonichu (comic)|his own comic]] [[stress|dropped drastically]].
Beyond this, Chris made clear that he also hates the comic because of its "uncensored pictures" and "low resolution and blocky art". Here, we see Chris's [[Chris and hypocrisy|hypocrisy]] in action. The "uncensored pictures" he's all up in arms over are just minor posters hung up mostly in Asperchu's room and even so, they are mostly hidden away by the character's heads. Chris's "uncensored pictures" are done by the main characters in full view, despite the fact that ''Sonichu'' is supposed to be a "kids' comic". Chris probably took the terms "blocky" and "low-resolution" from the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode {{w|Road to the Multiverse}}. Of course, compared to Chris's [[Chris and art|art]], it's practically the fucking [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistine_Chapel_ceiling ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.] It helps that Alec is humble and doesn't try to act like his artwork is amazing and worthy of being hung in a museum.
==Asperpedia==
[[Image:Haitihelp.JPG|thumb|Clearly, Asperchu is pure evil.]]
After finishing the first three issues of his comic, Alec Benson Leary set up his own Mediawiki website where one could read all existing comics, as well as a number of articles about the world of ''Asperchu'', and read fan mail answered by Mr. Leary. Soon afterward, portals were added to the site for other notable comics, such as [[Evan]]'s [[Evan#Simonchu|''Simonchu'']], {{anchor|Sean}} and ''Sonichu is Dead'' creator Sean August Watley's latest project, ''[[Moon-Pals]]''. In [[February 2010]], more comics were added, including Alec's ''Sonichu Revolution'', Sean's ''Sonichu is Dead'' and ''Sonichu is Gay'', and Isabel Monday's ''Capering Berries''.
[[Jack Thaddeus]], recognizing the incredible profit potential of ''Asperchu'', immediately began advertising the new website on the [[CWCipedia]]. Chris responded to these new ads, and his newfound knowledge of Alec's website with a series of increasingly disturbing videos<ref>[[Down with Asperchu]], [[12 January 2010]], [[14 January 2010]], [[15 January 2010]], [[U8C43P2A37A8 y U8C1N023V0L]]</ref> where he made his opinions on the matter quite clear.
Alec, being a gentle soul, has not directly responded to any of Chris's offensive videos. When [[Down with Asperchu#Alec's response to the video|asked by a concerned fan]], he outlined his planned course of action as one of peace, citing his personal hero, {{w|Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Mahatma Gandhi}}. His webmaster, Mao "Bamboo" Ling has opted for a more direct approach, speaking to Chris directly in two short [[YouTube]] videos.
The large banner ad for Asperpedia was replaced by a link to information on the U.S. Government's efforts to help the victims of {{w|2010 Haiti earthquake|the earthquake in Haiti}}, because Alec cares about the plight of his fellow men.
Due to the growing popularity of ''Asperchu'' over ''Sonichu'', the site later set up a fan portal where aspiring writers can make their own ''Sonichu'' fanfictions. Various pre-existing titles, including ''Sonichu: The Animated Series'', are also hosted in the fan section. There is even a parody version of [[CWCipedia]] set up by Mao, where totally fictitious articles on ''Sonichu''-related things are made, including photoshopped images of the original comic.
Eventually, on May 27, 2010, Mao took complete control of CWCipedia, after which Alec and [[Vivian Gee]] started uploading ''Sonichu'' Season 2. The CWCipedia was then permanently deleted for Mao to gain the upper hand after noting to the Comic Fury staff that, without ''Sonichu'' and Chris to bargain for a lower price, they must be forced to sign with him. The rights to the Asperpedia was then sold for $150,000.
The Asperpedia was eventually shut down, however, according to Alec Benson Leary, "It was run by a spazlord who took it down randomly in a fidgety fit one day. I didn't care to fight for it."
===The 19 January Demands===
On 19 January 2010, Chris uploaded twelve new pages of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], which are centered mostly around Asperchu and the Asperpedia. [[Chris and his Ego|Ever the heroic savior]], Chris pictures himself, along with [[Ultra Sonichu]], destroying the slanderous Asperpedia and saving Alec's characters from their [[Asperger syndrome|terrible affliction]], with Asperchu himself getting an "EXTREME ELECTRIC MAKEOVER" and becoming "[[Mitch Sonichu]]".
Not content with this, Chris then issued an ultimatum to Alec through a blog post:
{{Quote|Although within Alec's Hands, Asperchu IS a horrific joke, not only because of the uncensored nudity, wrongful character usage and all that, but also because the whole thing is drawn in a c***py Blocky and Low Resolution way.
I still have NO association with Alec Benson Leary OR HIS Asperchu character Whatsoever, but I will forgive Alec for his error if he FOLLOWS from my new plot and Extreme Electric Makeover as a template. He is no longer "Asperchu", just call him [[Mitch Sonichu]].|Chris's featured quote on January 19, 2010.}}
Alec didn't listen to Chris's demands, instead keeping everyone there and just introducing Mitch Sonichu as simply "Mitch Chu", who appears to be a [[Homos|gay stylist]], as well as Whisp Sonichu as the character Whispy Sonichu, Punchy's [[slow-in-the-mind]] cousin.
==Apologies==
In [[Apologies to Alec and Evan|a 1 February 2010 video]], Chris finally admitted that Asperchu was not a [[parody]] of himself or his original creation, Sonichu, and was instead a completely original character. He also apologized for spreading lies about Alec, such as suggesting that he [[Mailbag 50|only responded to fan mail that puts him in a positive light]], and for the constant [[death threats]] against him. In addition, he apologized for trying to commandeer [[Evan]]'s [[Simonchu]] character (though he tactfully avoided mentioning his blatant ripoff, [[Simonla]]).
However, Chris's real motivations quickly become obvious as he proceeded to beg Alec and Evan to help him take down the [[CWCipedia#CWCipedia Advertisements|CWCipedia ads]], which had become increasingly homoerotic and insulting to Chris.
A few days later, Chris made [[I am Alive|another video]] fully apologizing for his threats towards the four, deciding to give up Simonla and delivering a half-assed Forgiveness Blessing to Mao, in the hope of finally removing the ads (which also included a [[parody]] of [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]] involving him and [[Snorlax|his mom]] and an obituary for Chris).
On 25 [[February 2010]], Chris released the last pages of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], in which he did kill off [[Simonla]]... but turned around and ''brutally executed'' the "Asperpedia Four."
[[Book10Replacement|A revised version]], inspired by Chris's [[sweetheart]] [[Jackie]], replaced the death sentences with a lifetime placement among the Amish. Jackie insisted on a parade in honor of Alec and Asperchu<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 19]]</ref><ref>[[Jackie E-mails 20]]</ref><ref>[[Lars Call]]</ref> but Chris did not honor his promise.
By 2017, Chris had become more amenable towards ''Sonichu'' fan-fiction and parodies. He apologised to Alec in a Facebook post that October and offered that if Alec would print ''Asperchu'' through a self-publishing site, he would trade printed ''Sonichu'' in exchange.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/October_2017_Facebook_posts#Print_editions_for_fancomics</ref>
==Phone calls==
{{main|Alec Benson Leary calls}}
{{quote|Encourage the fans that were originally my fans to come back to me.|Chris}}
On 9 [[February 2010]], [[Mao]] sent [[Evan]] and [[Sean]] a series of seven phone conversations between Alec Benson Leary and Chris. While these conversations were meant to stay between the [[Asperpedia]] staff, they were eventually leaked by Mao for the world to hear. An [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8|eighth]] and [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9|ninth]] phone call between Chris and Alec followed on 18 February and 25 February, respectively.
Alec also portrayed [[Jackie#Lars|Lars]] in a phone call with Chris.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/abl-q-a.805/#post-54378</ref>
==Trial and execution of Asperpedia staff==
{{Quote|We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.|Chris, [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]}}
Despite Alec attempting to help Chris out several times during the phone calls, Chris involved Alec (along with Mao, Sean and Evan) in the penultimate pages of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. They are portrayed as stupid, murderous characters, who are tried by [[CWCville]]'s court for the murder of [[Simonla Rosechu]], as well as the theft and mockery of several citizens of CWCville. After a kangaroo court trial (in CWCville's favor, of course), Alec and co. are sentenced to death, Alec specifically in a "ten-button Electric chair". He is electrocuted to death by various characters that were "misrepresented" in ''Asperchu'', including Sonichu, who states that he is [[Homos|"not gay"]] as he jointly ends Alec's life. Chris himself joins in on the fun, and ironically, and also hypocritically, states that Alec is a "d*** lunatic," after which he helps fry him to a crisp, before proceeding to slowly twist Mao's limbs backwards until they snap using telekinesis, followed shortly after by crushing his heart. Evan is horribly mutilated by [[Sandy Rosechu]] whilst chained to a wall, and Sean is used as target practice by [[Bill the Scientist]], [[Kel]] and [[Allison]].
Amidst this brutality, Chris sees fit to [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Calls|apologize]] for some of his own wrongdoings towards the Asperchu Four, as well as his fans.
In recent updates to [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], Chris made good on his promise to "revive" Simonla. However, in the pages, it is revealed that [[:Image:Son11p22.jpg|she never died in the first place]]. This means that Chris set up the trial on a whim just so he would have a convenient excuse to kill Alec, Mao, Sean, and Evan.
==''Sonichu Revolution''==
When the CWCipedia was taken down during the [[Simonchu]] dispute, it appeared Chris was not going to budge and would [[9_February_2010|possibly set up shop elsewhere]]. Considering Chris's laziness, how long that might take was anyone's guess. The possibility that no new comics would appear for days, weeks, or even months was likely, and this didn't take into account how often Chris's new digs would get hacked. Fortunately, Alec, being the nice guy that he is, decided ''Sonichu'' fans should not be deprived of the promised reboot. He took it upon himself to not only deliver fans new pages through Chris's site, but to also take care of the looming copyright issues that Chris had been unwilling to tackle. All while still uploading new ''Asperchu'' comics. 
Chris, of course, took this in entirely the wrong way. In the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8|eighth phone call]], he accused Alec of stealing his work and attempting to impersonate him. While he expressed offense at the violence of some of the ''Sonichu Revolution'' strips, he showed no signs of grasping the way Alec's comic mocks the unoriginality, moral hypocrisy, sexual degeneracy, and generally warped outlook of Chris's original ''Sonichu'' stories.

==CWCipedia advertisements==
[[File:Asperchuissue5ad.jpg|thumb|200px|The ad in question.]]
Shortly after 110mb returned from what may have been its billionth outage, a large ''Asperchu'' ad appeared at the top of every article, depicting [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] shooting Chris in the calves ([[Sonichu Special 4|sound familiar?]]) while calling him a "[[Honest Content|fat little son of a bitch]]". Chris claimed that the ad didn't get to him, but given [[Address to my Cwcipedia SysOp|his history with trollsome ads]], a non-reaction was nigh-impossible.
[[Jackie e-mails|Jackie]] came across this ad and, thinking it was one of the ''Sonichu'' comics, thought it was, as advertised, ''fucking awesome''. Chris explained to her it was really a troll advertisement, which eventually lead to him showing her [[CWCki]] and her finding out what a lazy monster he is, ending the online correspondence. So even if it failed to provoke a response from Chris, it managed to perform some small service in [[The Miscreants|the larger scheme of things]].
[[File:AsperchuMarkDeux.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The (other) ad in question.]]
Eventually, the ad was taken down, although it was quickly replaced with another, smaller one featuring a callback to the scene of [[Evan]]'s cold-blooded torture from [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. Chris never responded to this, most likely because he was too busy [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|bitching about not being unbanned from The GAMe PLACe]].
[[File:Sonichu0.jpg|thumb|200px|The (final) ad in question.]]
Yet another ad was put up a few days later, depicting Chris's final death. It was taken down relatively quickly and replaced with an Autism Awareness Month ad (featuring a mention of the hated [[Asperger's syndrome]], no less), so it isn't unreasonable to believe Chris may have missed this one entirely.
==[[Calling Out]]==
After attempting to ignore Alec for well over a year and a half, Chris suddenly turned around and revealed a possible dox on Alec. He proclaimed that he's a "[[South Park|fatty-fat-fat]]" named Christopher who makes donations to [[The GAMe PLACe]] and doesn't have Asperger's. Like [[Surfshack Tito (troll)|Surfshack Tito]] and [[Thorg]], he demanded reparations – namely that he make a video apologizing for [[Chris and copyright|infringing on his Sonichu "copyright"]] and then [[Chris and hypocrisy|leave the Internet]].
On 30 August 2011, the day before Alec's deadline, [[Christopher Paul Whitney reveal|Chris revealed]] the true identity of Alec as 36-year-old "Christopher Paul Whitney", of San Antonio, Texas, better known as [[YouTube]] sensation "Fatman".
Unbeknownst to Chris, the dox wasn't true. Not only does Fatman have a completely different voice than Alec, but he would have no motivation to troll Chris, let alone create a comic about him. The information on Fatman wasn't even accurate – Fatman is from Rutland, Vermont (which he later pointed out), and since he was born in 1980, he would have been 30 or 31 when Chris made his video. But Chris being Chris, was [[naïve]] enough to believe they were the same person, especially since Fatman represented what Chris thought his tormentors were really like.
Fatman later made a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WrO0EHh37c|video video response], where he called Chris a "[[Slow-in-the-minds|dumb ass]]" for thinking he was Alec. Chris never replied to the video and presumably never saw it due to the death of [[Bob Chandler|his father]] a week after he "revealed" Fatman.
== Legacy ==
One of the last surviving relics of the ''Asperchu'' saga met its demise during the [[Destruction Of Chris's House|fire]] which ravaged [[14 Branchland Court]] on 10 [[January 2014]]. The Asperchu [[medallion]], gifted to Chris by Alec, was destroyed in the fire, as Chris revealed in a [[Facebook]] post on [[August 2014 Facebook Posts#Fan items lost in the fire|2 August 2014]].<ref>[[August 2014 Facebook Posts#Fan items lost in the fire|August 2014 Facebook Posts]]</ref> Notably, the somber tone Chris takes on in this post when recalling the destruction of this and other fan items seems to suggest that his feelings toward Alec and ''Asperchu'' as a whole may have softened over the years, though he could have just been feigning this for sympathy to [[Chris and money|e-beg]].
Strangely, Chris stated that he did not know who made the medallion (or any of the other lost fan creations), suggesting that he [[Slow-in-the-minds|might not remember Alec at all]].
''Asperchu'' was mentioned in the [[CatKnight Interview]], in which Arthur Spatchcock brought up the series as a potential threat to ''Sonichu''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> distribution in Europe, likely due to Alec's claim on the copyright of the character Mitch Sonichu. Chris reasoned that Asperchu "is definitely not a canon character" in his comics, [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|except for when he is]], rendering the issue moot [[Chris and copyright|as far as Chris is concerned]].<ref>[[CatKnight Interview]], [https://soundcloud.com/cat-knight-430471584/part-1-christine/s-iCiQa part 1], 8:40.</ref> Once again, Alec is not mentioned directly.
==Idea Guy influences==
{{main|Idea Guys}}
[[File:Alec as Bodhi.jpg|thumb|Chris believes this is Alec – actually Bodhi from ''Payday 2''.]]
During the Idea Guy saga, Chris's belief in multiple dimensions was exploited and his sense of reality hijacked to make changes to many of Chris's characters, concepts and perspective of the real world, with him considering them to be valid. Ideas involving Alec and Asperchu include:
*Chris wanted clarification over what really happened in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] and asked Idea Guy if Alec and the other Asperpedia Four trolls were saved by becoming Amish or executed. Since Idea Guy was playing ''Payday 2'' at the time, he used the character Bodhi's bio for a revised version of Alec, telling Chris that Alec had escaped and gave Chris the picture of Bodhi, saying it was Alec.<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A]]</ref>
*Asperchu is one of the 69 Destined Sonichus and Rosechus.<ref>[[:File:69_Sonichus.jpg]]</ref>
