The Apple of Discord is taking a break while I come up with new and
interesting stuff. In the meantime, I STRONGLY recommend you check out my
Fantasy Parody Epic, Apple Valley and my brand new 5-day a week humorous
expose of the dark underbelly of the Webcomic world, Webcomic Hell.

This isn't a post I wanted to make.  Not even a little.  But The Apple of Discord is taking a break, at least for a couple months, possibly forever.  No, no, don't get all teary eyed on me, it's for everyone's good.  I tried to pull the trigger back in April, but there were a lot of you who were very supportive, so I figured I'd give it another go once the new site got up and running.  That, too, has failed. Basically, my brain hasn't been putting out the right sort of ideas for AoD - I'm still making with the funny, but I'm thinking less and less like I used to do when AoD was at it's prime... that's right, apparently, I've used up my supply of dick and fart jokes.  And to be honest, I'd rather stop making the comic than continue and hammer out crap that I don't enjoy making and you don't enjoy reading just for the sake of beating a dead horse.  Instead, I'm going to try a few new things.  Remember how I said I still had "the funny", it just wasn't "the right funny" for AoD?  Well, some of it will be leaking out in a new comic I'm working on called "Webcomic Hell [1]" - Webcomic Hell incorporates several things I've tried (and failed) to do over the years... it's one part Journal comic, one part me ranting about philosophical shit, one part the failed Sofa King experiment from 2010.  And while it's shorter (going for three panels) it updates 5x a week (currently, anyway).  In many ways, it's basically AoD 2.0, just in a smaller format and with a different focus.  In addition, I'll be botbuilding, working on writing that book that I've been putting off for ages, and maybe one day finishing the goddamn Bakachibimon card game.  Who knows. I recommend you grab the RSS feed for AoD and tuck it in your "dormant comics" or "no longer updating" section and check back in a couple months.  I won't return until I know I have at least a couple months' worth of material built up, so if AoD is coming back, I intend for it to back for a while.  Also, it never hurts to follow me on Twitter [2] or the new, shiny Google+.

The Fate of Apple Valley

Info

Published: August 16, 2010 | By admin

While I am a consumate Discordian and have no qualms with intentionally screwing with the heads of my readers, sometimes it happens by accident... and on those occasions, I am sorry.  This appears to be one of those times.

I've got a quick, easy way to fix a lot of what's wrong with the US educational system.  It's a radical concept, but I suspect it would work - far better than anything we're doing so far.  All that's required... is that we be absolutely horrible bastards to the children.

Out With The New…

Info

Published: June 3, 2010 | By admin

...in with the old!  Summer is nearly upon us, and with the hunting grounds for aspiring movie critics like myself rife with slow, easy targets, it's likely to be a feast for all involved.  And I thought, in light of this season, I'd give all you devout readers a little "treat" (quotes appropriate).

The Sound of Discord

Info

Published: May 28, 2010 | By admin

Hey, ran into a neat fellow named @lextrical who is doing a very ambitious music/electronica he calls "music beans", most of which are accompanied by or inspired by pieces of art.  He was looking for volunteers and challenging pieces, so I hit him with one of my favorite comics - Hot Dog [1].  His response [2] was both beautiful and fitting, capturing a lot of the spirit of the whole... breaking down thing... going on in the comic.  Do check it out, 'tis awesome.

Tales from Tora-Con

Tagged as: ,

Having never done a college convention, either as a guest or as an attendee, I had no idea what to expect from such a con... and Tora-Con not only came through with flying colors, but it may have set the bar a bit higher for all conventions - not just college cons.  Here's the breakdown:
