2034: Zappin' T-shirt
Zappin' T-shirt |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original strip, Jon's shirt had Snoopy on it. In this version, it instead depicts Sonichu, star of the webcomic of the same name. The series gained an unbelievable amount of notoriety for its childish artwork, questionable plotting, blatant plagiarism and wish fulfillment, and in particular the... quirks of its creator, one Christine (formerly Christian) Weston Chandler. To recount the full history behind Sonichu would take an entire wiki; indeed, it's already been done. Please note, however, that said wiki is extremely NSFW.
The author's notes were written before Chandler came out as a trans woman, and have not been edited as of this writing.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
The character on Jon's shirt is Sonichu, titular character of what is said to be one of the worst webcomics of all time. The strip was originally about this character, a hybrid of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu. However, it quickly became a vanity project for its creator, Christian Weston Chandler, and the focus shifted to an embellished version of himself embarking on convoluted adventures. The comic is infamous for its violations of copyright laws, and the comic's depictions of people the creator knows in real life. You can read the comic here (if you dare).
Original strip: 2010-02-12.
