Sonichu is a web comic, following the adventures of the titular protagonist and was drawn by self-taught artist and vlogger Christine Weston Chandler. The comic has been mocked online for its amateur art style and writing.
Sonichu was first posted online on November 24th, 2004. The comic was characterized by amateurish drawing and its unoriginal content, as most of it was ‘borrowed’ from Pokémon, Sonic, Dragon Ball and Excel Saga, with some dialogue lifted directly from countless other sources. It was widely ignored before Chris’ video-blog and personal life gained internet infamy. At that point, the comics departed from their original storyline to describe Sonichu’s sex life and the author’s own personal problems (mostly connected with their inability to find ‘a boyfriend-free girlfriend’). Since Sonichu 8, the war against trolls has become one of the most important arcs of Sonichu. It ended in Sonichu 10, where the main characters violently murdered the trolls.
Paradoxically, Sonichu is not the main character of the series. Since Sonichu 2 (actually the third issue, first was Sonichu 0), most of its story focused on Chris. The author portrayed herself as superhuman, extremely intelligent, blessed by God (literally), mayor of CWCville, and has her own super mode which is activated by a magic MacGuffin.
