'''''Sonichu'' #6''' is the seventh issue of the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' comic book series.

However, shortly before beginning work on this issue, Chris's beloved dog [[Patti]] was euthanized on 27 June [[2006]]. Distraught by these events, Chris sought to make the lead story in this issue a tribute to Patti that would create a new life for her as a regular character in [[CWCville]]. Since [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] ended on a cliffhanger with Episode 13, "One Lucky Dog" is set before that story, and labeled as Episode 12.5. The blend between cartoon and real-life is perhaps one of the most interesting and experimental things that Chris has done with the comic (and, in the case of the "experimental" tag, in general), and Chris would later incorporate this concept in [[Sonichu 10|Sonichu #10]] and [[Sonichu 11|#11]].

Sonichu Issue 7.jpg

Sonichu #7 is the eighth issue of Christian's Sonichu comic book. Although the cover was drawn in March 2007, most of it would not be completed until August 2008, well into Chris's conflict with Encyclopedia Dramatica and months after his falling-out with Megan. This is the first issue of Sonichu to be directly affected by the influence of trolls. It is far from the last.

The ending of Sonichu #7 sets the stage for issues #8-10, as a mission into the past causes Chris to be stranded in "the Time Void" where he cannot directly intervene in the lives of his characters. Chris had by this time begun to feel he was becoming too intrusive in Sonichu's stories--possibly upon reading criticisms on ED--and wanted to remove himself as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it didn't last.

While Chris is trapped in the Time Void, Sonichu and Magi-Chan return to the present... that is, to 2 November 2007 when the events of this issue are set. Although Chris's comics were clearly never set in real-time (Episode 14 takes place immediately after Episode 13, not months later when Chris drew it), this is the first open acknowledgment that at times the comic's timeframe can be weeks or months behind real-time. This would become increasingly confusing as Chris would continue referring to dates in future issues, with events in the comics occurring a year or more before they were published. Indeed, during his stay in the time void the Chris of November 2007 experiences "future" visions of events such as ED's discovery of him and his heartbreak with Megan. Although Sonichu #7 sets up the storyline that PVCC plans to exploit Chris's absence with another invasion of CWCville, Chris quickly loses interest in developing this idea in favor of another: 4-cent_garbage.com.
