Template:Article of the now

The chronology of events in Sonichu, Christian Weston Chandler's magnum opus, is extremely complicated for a series that only saw 11¼ issues in a six-year period. As with most of Chris's work, only the CWCki is capable of untangling the mess to establish when the hell things actually happened, and in what order.

There is considerable confusion as to the passage of time in Sonichu. Although none of the characters seems to age at all (which would be consistent with most comics, video games, and cartoons), by late 2008 Chris had begun making it clear that several years had passed during the course of the storyline. We may never know if this had been his intent all along; it's equally possible that he suddenly made the announcement in reaction to trolls believing that Sonichu and Rosechu were underage at the time of their sex scene in Sonichu #8. Since then Chris has clarified that the adventures in Episodes 1–11 take place several years before he drew them. Stories involving Chris, however, such as the Sub-Episodes and Episodes 12 & 12.5, generally occur closer to the time-frame in which Chris drew them, usually to better coincide with the real-world events that inspired them. After that, however, events in the comic begin to fall behind real time; in mid-2008 Chris established the events of Episodes 13–17 as having occurred in the fall of 2007, nearly a year earlier. Later stories would make greater effort to show when they took place, which only served to show the gap widening. When Chris abandoned the series in February 2010, he had left off with a Christmas story set in December 2008.
