Everyone knows Chris (and a whole slew of other autistic manchildren*) are up in arms about Sonic's arms being blue. Pun totally intended there. And sure enough, almost all of the Sonichus and Rosechus in Chris' comics have consistently been depicted with flesh-toned arms, going all the way back to Bionic, the very first abomination Chris created. However, you'll note that I used the qualifier almost there. That's no mistake. Going back through his comics, I noticed a couple of characters (mostly Rosechus oddly enough) did not have flesh colored arms. Their arms were the same color as their skin/fur/whatever Sonichus and Rosechus have on their body.
It's not more than a handful really. The only ones I've caught so far have been Lolisa Rosechu, Bubbles from the Chaotic Combo, Blazebob and (perhaps most significantly) Simonla Rosechu. I'm not quite sure if that's an oversight on Chris' part either; we know Chris is lazy and willfully ignorant at times, but like many autistics, he's also hyper-attentive to detail when it comes to the few things he's actually interested it. In the case of Simonla, it could simply be that he stole the design from someone else, and was thus more concerned with copying their design than sticking to the Sonic template, but that doesn't explain the others. Especially after Chris tard-raged over Sonic's arms being blue.
It's also interesting to take note that most of them are Rosechus. Normally, Chris is much more interested in females. Maybe his misandry doesn't apply to fictional characters; certainly Sonichu represents everything that Chris likes (though, even in his own comics, Chris eventually wound up making himself the centre of attention and overshadowing his own bloody creation).
Of course, all of this presumes that there's some sort of method to Chris' madness beyond mere aesthetic choices, but... at the end of the day Chris is like a Rorschach test. Different people can read just about anything into his actions, but you only get as much out of his work as you put int, because Chris is ultimately lazy, boring and unoriginal. I'm curious to see what other people think about this little detail of Chris' art. After all, nothing is too trivial here.
* What is the proper plural form of manchild anyway? Manchildren? Menchildren?
