Hey all-
So, with Christian Love Day quickly approaching as well as the next page going to be the big 100, I'm going to be consolidating the two big events on Tuesday, with page 100 dropping on that date... followed by pages 101, 102, and 103 falling on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in celebration of the momentous date. So for today, I'm going to enjoy a day of not drawing cartoon animals saying horrible things... and respond to a few messages from some very awesome people.
Oh shit....
How do you do it Blank? How do you do it?
I put ink on paper until something appears.
Seriously though, in regards to Sonichu, I always envision him as two things: 1) A wild animal; and 2) Chris' ultimate fantasy character (outside of his self-insert bullshit). He is a character that knows he is ultimately better than the rest of the characters simply because Chris saying so, and thusly he very much believes himself to be the pack's (Chaotic Combo's) alpha male and cannot stand insubordination. Any one that tries to get in his way or argues against him, he will actively bully into submission. He's incredibly charming like that, isn't he?
I'm half expecting Magi-chan to take off his vest while whistling nonchalantly to avoid Sonichu's ire.
We'll see a bit more of Magi-Chan's defensive techniques the next few pages...
No Ride the Lightning? Or Electric Eye?
Sonichu doesn't like "Electric Eye" beause it reminds him too much of the 4-cent trolls. As for "Ride the Lightning," I really should have picked that one.
.......Aaaaand Sonichu just went full "Nice Guy".
You may be correct there.
The humor of the situation just got sucked out super hard
Cripes. This isn't normal darkness..this is advanced darkness.
To be precise, i expected this kinda of dark stuff from Broseph's Cwcville: Paradise lost. Seriously, Sonichu needs to get his ass kicked.
Then again, this is The Real Sonichu and this is his story and nothing else. So i give it a pass. Great job, _blank_.
From visceral triumph to heart-sinking despair in one page. This rollercoaster could use some seatbelts.
I can see the Real Sonichu....he's right one the edge....right on the edge of the "
Moral Event Horizon" (

_blank_ you just love having us hate sonichu more every passing strip, eh?
Honestly, out of all the shit I've done in the almost 99-pages, this part was/is the most difficult to write. Anyway, I know I must have struck a nerve when I get a call from my brother, who frequents these forums, and he was asking me if I was doing okay because of the sudden, violent dark turn (for the record, I'm fine.). But, because of the subject matter, and the fact that this moment is important to the underlying plot, I couldn't hold back on this one. Back when I was growing up in military housing, we were ALL bullies. I was picked on and shoved around, and I did it to my fair share of kids as well. It's how things used to work, but yeah, I know all too well how it feels to feel miniscule and insignificant, and really to try to make light of the situation would be a disservice to the characters, and also to anyone who has been in a similar situation.
For what it's worth though, there is still going to be a ton of humorous parts in TRS. This isn't going to suddenly become some long-winded emo rant full of miscarriages and rapes and other stuff ham-fisted in for shock value. So, don't worry about that either.
Okay, hard discussion over. Let Phil Collins and the Ultimate Warrior make your day.
