6/22 update - Chris rambles more about the ages of the Chus and posts previews of Sonixhu comic pages.
Let's talk about a topic that may likely be confusing to, well, Everyone. The Ages of my Sonichus and Rosechus. Simply Put: it is Inconsistent Cartoon Logic. Around the time I specified the Main Eight's ages in Book 8, I was under a LOT of unwarranted Questions about their Bloody Age in relations to the content/miscontent of what I drew and wrote Beforehand. UGH! I was Still Testing the Waters of the story typings, parodies, what works/doesn't work.
It is Very Common amongst the Beginning Book Authors. Even in Televised Cartoons and Video Games, I dare put unto you all: Ash Ketchum is STILL Ten Years Old? Sonic the Hedgehog is Still 16 Years Old? And Stewie Griffin is Still ONE Year Old, while during the "Family Guy" Series, Megan has gone from 16 to 18 Years Old. Twighlight Sparkle and the Mane Six are teens to adults, while Celestia and Luna are like a THOUSAND Years Old. Even XJ9 - Jenny, while built a few years prior, her Mindset Is TEENAGER.
**Sigh and Groan**
I feel the best way to answer this ANNOYING QUESTION to EVERYONE is to NOT Think or Overthink About It. We, the Artists, Creators and Writers, specify an age to a character, at least I feel, when it can be deemed warranted. We do not have to Consistently Celebrate Birthdays, or let our characters Age canonically or not, in our works. The Obvious, Simple, NOT to Overthink, Straight-Up Answer, from ALL OF US Creators, is...
JUST TAKE THE CHARACTER(s) AGE(s) AS WE HAVE GIVEN THEM, RESPECTIVELY.
And, in my case: The Main Eight are more than Twenty Years Old, may as well be Over 21 NOW; Cera, Christine and Roberta are TEENAGERS (CLOSE to equal 17 years old), and Sandy and Zapina Rosechus are in the Fourth Grade, despite Sandy being less than a year old, physically, but mentally equivalent to the typical Fourth Grader Age.
Once Again, Take each character's age at Provided Value, unless we later say different. Shut The F*** Up! UGH!!!
