Never forget that Van Gogh was also a schizophrenic and was called a talentless hack when he was alive
In a few decades we'll be admiring Episode 0 in the newly founded Chandler Museum

I have atleast 3 posts on this forum where I unironically call Chris the modern Van Gogh. I still mean it.
 
The universe has a set, constant level of autism in existence. Chris having a extremely high levels autism means there is less to go around, making everyone who is not Chris less autistic by comparison.

Reminding people that condoms do exist and should be used when not intending to have a child.

Considering Barb had Chris on the eve of menopause at forty-one, he's lucky he didn't come out with Down syndrome or something. She did have Cole at twenty-one, and the divorce with Ran shortly after makes me believe he was an accident. Condoms were still pretty taboo at the time, and not as effective.

When compared to most other forms of modern art, Sonichu genuinely has a lot of substance and entertainment value, I really do with minimun irony consider it to be something of a modern art masterpiece, its a work thats all encompassing for the life of a very strange, troubled person and is actually pretty tragic and well as funny. Its a 21st century version of Confederacy of Dunces. A mixture of childrens video game and cartoon references combined with the real life trials and tribulations of a seriously mentally ill individual. In short, there exists nothing quite like Sonichu.

Sonichu could actually be seen as a documentary on everything that is wrong with popular culture aimed at children: Created mostly to sell as many figurines, vehicles and assorted merchandise as possible, each episode revolves around introducing some new characters or vehicles which can be completely described by a handful of adjectives and stats -- so that they can be printed on a trading card. The fact that CWC's personal life (and sexual obsessions) seeps into the plot (and now dominates it) might be interpreted as commentary on how children's entertainment is increasingly consumed by adults, to the point that children's shows are now geared towards millenials in the sense that they suddenly revolve around lesbian minerals instead of hedgehogs.

The Entertainment-Industrial Complex is growing exponentially -- its global revenue was around 2000 billion US$ in 2016, rivaling the Military-Industrial Complex -- and a fair share of this revenue comes from children, that means: their parents' pockets. As Umberto Eco pointed out in "Apocalypse Postponed", mass entertainment is a logical and necessary consequence of industrialized society. He wrote his essays on the topic in the 60s/70s, though. Since then, popular entertainment has grown from a little side-industry into a global moloch belching out show after show after show, game after game after game, movie after movie and tie-in product after tie-in product. It creates jobs, sure. But just imagine where we'd be by now if said jobs had been created e.g. in the spaceflight technology sector: We'd probably have colonized Jupiter's moons by 2010 and now be gearing up for Proxima Centauri...
 
Oh, he's so fat, incompetent, and willing to take his clothes off at a moment's notice that he may one day get wedged inside of something while upside-down, buck-naked and covered with barbecue sauce for all the public to laugh at.
 
Aside from being a textbook example of how NOT to act like a functional human being, he is (partially) the reason why this site exists.

Also, reading about him makes me feel better about myself.
