What does Chris really believe, and how much is he just playing pretend?

When he claims that his characters speak to him or when he was dancing with Magi-Chan at that convention, was he actually experiencing hallucinations of those characters?

I can't tell which would make him seem crazier: hallucinating or playing pretend in public.

The answer to your question is a simple one. All of Chris's beliefs are lies. He knows his life is fucked and uses his "beliefs" as an excuse to avoid admitting his life is ruined.

Since there's been ever-shifting views with what can be "real art" (photography was once considered "not real art" when it was invented), I came up with this less subjective criteria for "real art". The more criteria are met, the more "real art" a work is (though of course it is best not to overthink it). Again, criteria can still be subjective.

⬤ skillfully done
⬤ looks beautiful
⬤ thing is "deep"

And as a bonus, if at least one of above:

⬤ art is original

So by even these criteria which are meant to be as objective as possible and apply to changing times, "Sonichu" isn't "real art" still. Those "comics" are drawn with a skill on par with that of a toddler, they're hideous to read and look at (and not just visually so), it's rather shallow, and of course there is not exactly that much originality.

How likely is Chris to have to GET A JOB!!! under the Big Beautiful Bill?

He had to panhandle for dentistry, so I doubt Praetor would pick up the slack if he lost Medicaid. Would he have to actually start putting in 20 hours a week on orders? Would that even count?

I assume since he gets SSDI for his autism he's exempt but I am not sure on that

Did anybody ever track down Carol Chandler, I think that was Chris Chans sister. One way to do it would be a funeral or obituary. We don’t know if her last name is still chandler. We know she didn’t attend bobs funeral but what about her mother. She’s either like 90 years old or dead by now. Honestly she probably died sometime in the last 10-15 years.
Or maybe dig through David’s social medias and look for a carol.


I think I found Patricia, bobs ex wife on white pages.
The house apparently sold in 2024 so she could have died and her kids sold the house.
If she’s dead we can find an obituary, if not maybe she got so old she had to move in with one of her kids or is in a nursing home. That’s not unusual for an 89 year old.

Carol's not nearly as old as you seem to think; the CWCki puts her birth year as 1964, so she's 61 now. I haven't tried looking into her but I seriously doubt she's dead either - people (especially women, who on average live longer than men) don't tend to drop dead in their 60's unless they have a horrible diet and/or lifestyle, and Bob managed to make it to 84 in spite of both.

I was speaking of Patricia F Chandlers death, Carols mom and Bobs ex wife. She’s like 90 now.

People in the art world (IE the only people for whom the question of whether or not something is "real art" has any relevance) are exactly the sort of people who would praise Sonichu as a masterful work of self expression and declare anyone who thinks otherwise a mouth breathing chud; these are the same people who called a banana taped to a wall "genius", and who proudly exhibit literal furry porn sculptures in their galleries after all.

Then the art world certainly has come a long way from the past. A long way down, that is.

Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" was made in 1917.

The art world has been like this for a long time.

Why does Carol Chandler live in a small town in Tennessee. Wasn’t she a PHD math wiz working for the government. She should be living in Washington DC or a major city at least?
