Chris the Stick Adventures

Chris the Stick Adventures is a still image Animatic-like cartoon series originally created by the YouTube channel JovialEclipse in 2014, later handled by CTSA Studios. It is based and inspired by a retro style of online animated videos that were present on websites such as YouTube in the late 2000's.

It centers around a carefree stick figure named Chris the Stick and his friends on their exploits around a fictional little American town in Washington State.

Setting
Chris the Stick Adventures takes place in Huetown, a small fictional town in Washington State. Chris the Stick lives in a big home in a rural area near the town named Canvas Hills.

Magic and sorts of witchcraft are present in the world. Some used for good, some used for bad as seen in episodes such as The Wizard's Apprentice and Halloween Spooktacular Deluxe. Characters like Blanca and Celia are known for utilizing magic.

Origin
In 2013, the show was first announced by the creator in a update video on his main channel, showing off coming soon projects. The show was originally created as a retro recreation to a specific video genre on YouTube. After some second thoughts, it turned into a Satirical Sockpuppeting stunt for a Fandom community in which it was made to be intentionally of poor quality. To make it convincing, the creator also masqueraded himself as a Sensitive 11 year old.

Change of Plans
The show eventually became real when some people enjoyed it despite the poor quality. The audience for the show was now finally realized and newer episodes were created with actual effort.
