Chris and reality

Reality is the universe Chris is detached from. While most fiction operates on the assumption that the fictional world is in some way separate from that which actually exists, for Chris such lines are difficult to grasp. While some might assume Chris is exploring meta-fictional devices, he is nowhere near that clever. He's just too stupid to get reality straight.

The mechanics of the CWCiverse

As experts understand it, CWCville exists outside the confines of normal spacetime; a pocket universe with principal access located through a Narnia-esque portal made of a DDR pad in Chris's room (why he has a DDR pad in the first place when he has no coordination or stamina is a mystery). CWCville exists as a fantasy Utopia (by Chris's standards), located in Virginia, but not in any tangible sense. The geography of CWCville is incomprehensible by normal means, and it is speculated that only idiot rationale can make sense of this paradox.

Here it is important to remember that by Chris's standards, CWCville is 100% real. Although, when confronted about it, he says "I'd like it to be real"^[1]. In the comic — and within Chris's mind — the citizens of his imaginary universe operate with an understanding of the world outside their own. Sonichu was born of an unholy union and bizarre psuedo-scientific and fantasy bullshit (like all good sci-fi, radiation can do anything!) involving Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokémon, radiation, and a rainbow. He is also the fictional creation and figurative "son" of Chris (despite being of a different species), and is aware of this fact, referring to Chris as "Father".

Documentary or fictional fiction?

And you thought the straw was the worst part, just think of the implications...

Defining Sonichu Canon is a difficult prospect. Chris exists not only as Mayor of CWCville, but as writer of the comic depicting its own reality, his Gary Stu, and as creator of the universe. A given character exists in varying states of self-awareness. On one hand, Sonichu is having his real life adventures, but will at other times speak of discussions with fans, within continuity.^[2]

In one sub-episode^[3], Chris incorporates his own misadventures into his fictional universe through the use of a stand-in location. Within what can only reasonably assumed to be Chris's comic universe, Chris spends his time drawing his comic universe.

The fantasy

It's clear to anyone with eyes that CWCville only exists as a crutch for Chris's warped psyche. While Chris feels the need to retreat to his womb-like room, he cannot totally withdraw from his need for social interaction. Therefore CWCville becomes an extension of his personal world, more real to Chris than what he sees as a world out to Kick the Autistic. He retreats to a world where he has total control, in a world where he has none. In his world, he can decide the laws and mores of the citizens. In his world, he can stalk and loiter to his hearts content.

While many children fantasize about being President or ruling their own city, as they get older, they realize that without the dedication, drive, and personality, it's not very fun having so much responsibility. For Chris, "responsibility" isn't in his vocabulary. All that the mayor does is have power, paying no heed to the well-being of the town's citizens, economy, or education. Just pure power. He set the rules and to hell with anyone who disobeys him. You know what they say about how power corrupts even the best people...

List of confusion

Sonichu is both a fictional "creation" of Chris's and a sentient being that is able to communicate through Chris.
Mary Lee Walsh was replaced by a not-evil doppelganger sometime in 2000 in our world, leaving her free to wreak terrible havoc upon CWCville.
Chris's car is a Transformer.
Chris is the TRUE and HONEST mayor of his fantasy land, elections are not held because he founded the town, so there's no need for them. He'll be damned if he's replaced.
His dog is alive. As a bipedal anthropomorphic cartoon character.
Sonichu and Rosechu seem to have two different lives: One 'within' the pages and one 'outside' of the pages, as evidenced by their marriage and children.
