Whatif Chris had gotten into Fist of the North Star instead of ponies?
I suspect that things would still have taken the same sorry course that they have (not that getting into
FotNS is really any way to live a life, son).
Chris may well have been hooked on the idea of himself as physically powerful (see that ridiculous early shirtless piece of art with him smirking smugly while flexing enormous if crudely-drawn biceps, and with a massive, hairy barrel chest), but, as his torments at the hands of those BRUTE MALE JERKS started to occur that all changed irrevocably.
The telling point, to me, is the
CWC Fighter video. The original
Street Fighter games have all sorts of powerful and 'cool' male characters - Ken, Ryu, Guile, Vega, Blanka...hell, pretty much any of them...but who does Chris want to compare himself with?
'There's a little CHUN-LI within me...'
Says it all, really. In short, if he had got into
FotNS, then we'd still have ended up with his best attempt at depicting himself as a setsy animu lady who can level skyscrapers with a single swipe. Which is pretty much where his comic self has ended up anyway, so...
