Containment What will happen when Barb dies?

[Marshal Mannerheim]

But come one, there are lots of fat people who smoke and drink and eat too much fast food and rarely get exercise, who still get old. Just watch a few episodes of "My 600 lbs life" and see how old some of those people are.

This is a bit of a powerlevel, but I had someone in my extended family who weighed about the same as Chris, drank and smoked much more than Chris ever did, and lived to claim an old age pension and spend it on copies of the Daily Mail and bitter at the local pub, so there's hope for Chris.

On the other hand, this man was an ex-policeman and was active within his community, so the fact he actually did stuff instead of sitting in a basement calling himself a goddess helped.

It has now been officially been more than a half year since we have last seen Barb. It is likely in my opinion that she is dead rotting in 14 blanchard court

R.I.P. Barbara Chandler

 

[Kosher Dill]

When Barb dies, she will rise again on the third day.

Happy Easter, everyone

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

When Barb dies, she will rise again on the third day.

Happy Easter, everyone

As a zombie to eat Chris' brain. Once she realizes that's empty, she'll move onto the gunt.

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

When Barb dies, she will rise again on the third day.

As one of Chris' imaginary friends, yes.

 

[Flavius Anthemius]

As one of Chris' imaginary friends, yes.

That he'll never actually see because they're all in his daydream world and have no thoughts or feelings of their own forcing Chris to conjure up imaginary responses to himself.

 

[Ophelia]

That he'll never actually see because they're all in his daydream world and have no thoughts or feelings of their own forcing Chris to conjure up imaginary responses to himself.

Not that he’ll notice the difference.

If your speaking about living in the UK, as I am to assume, the public aid systems, such as pensions for public sector workers, healthcare, disability, "seem" to be a lot more dependable and developed than the ones in the USA tend to be. A lot of it also tends to vary by state, and since Chris and Barb spent most of the money Bob left behind on the lawyer, it's gonna be slim pickins in Chris' case.

At best, Chris will maybe be able to get some low level apartment, and he might be able to get a little more out of selling off some of his vidya and toys, as he has been shown to sell off stuff when desperate.

Honestly, as Chris becomes more mainstream in the upcoming decades, there's a pretty good chance that the art and assorted memorabilia could rise in value, and become marketable as Outsider Art, so that could be a positive for Chris.

 

[Meowzers]

my gut feeling says that chris will either live to be like 90, or get to his 50s and then develop schizophrenia and then get hit by a car or something chasing phantom sonichus into the street. who was that one old schizo fuck who died fairly recently that had his walls plastered with porn and had his own attraction signs? his name slips my mind but that's gonna be chris in a few decades.

This is a fairly reasonable outcome. The support system for not-quite-helpless-slow-in-the-minds is just about non-existent in modern America, but there should be enough for a USDA or local housing authority apartment he could get to escape 14BC. Then, decades from now, there will be a retrospective in the NY Times of his art.

 

[Totally Awesome]

I wonder if Chris will ever file for bankruptcy to get rid of his debts.

 

[Madre Muerte]

Giant nope

 

[normankrasner]

I wonder if Chris will ever file for bankruptcy to get rid of his debts.

would (s)he know how? I haven't seen any ads for bankruptcy lawyers during cartoons, not even during adult cartoons, Chris(tine) doesn't watch the shows the typical unemployed adult watches

my gut feeling says that chris will either live to be like 90,

with his daily McDs diet? he'll probably develop heart issues at a fairly early age given his family history in addition to Type 2 diabetus, though Bob still lived past 80

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

I doubt he even knows what bankruptcy is.

 

[CrazyRandomZyn]

My most optimistic take is that via court or involuntarily he might be in an institution. Only allowed "Sonichu Issue 1", loudly proclaiming sexual fantasies, drug usage and death threats to another mentally ill/druggie for daring to speak.

 

[Picklechu]

Why would Chris declare bankruptcy? He has literally nothing for debt collectors to take. They can't touch the tugboat, anything that lands in PayPal (Patreon, eBay, good old-fashioned begging) gets spent almost immediately, and he doesn't own any actual property (he won't be able to keep 14BC, since Barb's creditors are going to get it, and the repo men aren't going to come for legos and video games).

 

[Totally Awesome]

Why would Chris declare bankruptcy?

It would wipe his debts clean.

 

[Picklechu]

It would wipe his debts clean.

But what would that actually do? His credit score would still be fucked. It wouldn't help him secure housing, transportation, etc. They aren't going to take his toys. They can't force him to pay because they can't take the tugboat, so at worst, once or twice a year he might have to sit through a short garnishment hearing where the judge tells the debt collector "lol nope."

Declaring bankruptcy would have virtually no impact on Chris' life. It would require effort on his part to do, which isn't going to happen. Creditors will not try and force him into bankruptcy, because, even if they do, he still has nothing that they can collect, and the filings cost them time and money.

 

[AnOminous]

It would wipe his debts clean.

But he'd have to pay a lawyer up front to do it. A bunch of consumer debt and a couple judgments wouldn't be any big deal and would probably cost pretty little, but he just doesn't care. They can't legally collect on his tard bucks (although some unscrupulous creditors will try).
