Yeah, I probably should’ve mentioned this before, but I did a filler comic for FERA that went up yesterday. It’s more funny in the context of the overall comic, so if you don’t already read FERA… do.
And before you ask, yes… yes that is Dr Hubris in drag.
Friends of mine (and friends of the comic) Michael Poe his wife are in serious need of pre-orders for Volume 3 of Errant Story. They’ve put a lot of time and effort into making these physical tangible “dead tree” editions of Errant Story available for the public, including printing it on SOLID GOLD (solid gold version not available in any areas) to make them extra snazzy. They’re doing this print run out of their own pockets, which means that your pre-orders really REALLY help smooth out the edges on the whole process, so if you’re a fan of Errant Story and would normally have considered buying a copy of Volume 3 anyway, please consider putting your order in now.
Now, as you may have noticed, I’m not one of those people who horribly over-market-ize their comics. I’ve never gone out and spent three paychecks buying Apple of Discord stuff to try and sell… so what merch I do have is rare and relatively hard to come by. That’s why I’ve decided, as an added incentive and bonus, that any fans of AoD who also pre-order Errant Story v3 will also get a secret (ok, I’m not entirely sure what it will be at this point) bit of Apple of Discord swag included in your orders. It might be a button, or a bookmark, a one-of-a-kind sketch, or even one of the ultra-rare “print” comics of AoD from 2008, but I’ll toss something in for you. Just email me – kallisti@theappleofdiscord.com – and tell me you’ve preordered and what email address (if not your own) you did it under.
Stick with me here, I have a point to prove.
I love language. Especially the English language. There are so many tricks that a person who knows what they are doing can make it play, so many ways to change and manipulate tiny segments to change whole huge concepts. For instance, let’s go with a biggie… Abortion.
Randomly encountered this video, thought you all might enjoy.
Right, the video above doesn’t appear to be working… until I get it fixed, you can see it here.
The internet’s a big place and it’s very easy to get lost. If you’re ever a member of an active community, you know that people pass into and out of the social circle all the time. Even here in the webcomic community, you’ll have someone that you talk to or work with all the time and, suddenly, you realize that it’s been 2-3 months since they’ve said anything, posted on the forum you all inhabit, updated their comic… that’s just the way of the internet.
Hey everybody, long time, no blog… (’cept the video I linked up the other day, but that doesn’t count)
The Apple of Discord is about 2 months shy of 2 years now, and while I’ve mostly enjoyed the experience, I’ve also identified the fact that I’m not making a great deal of traction in the world of webcomics.
I hate to say it, but… I need your help.
As an apology for any inconvenience the lack of comic uploading today may have caused (it should be fixed now), I tracked down the clip from “Cheaters” that I mentioned in this comic’s notes… The segment with the footage in question starts at about 3:20. It’s beautiful.
Sorry there’s no new comic for the second half of the week… Thanksgiving and all that, it’s caused things to be a little cluster’d, if you know what I mean. However, in lieu of a new comic, I do have some exciting news. With almost no prep work whatsoever and with little more than a twinkle in my eye and a song in my heart, I’ve decided to go ahead and start my own podcast. I call it…
What’s it about? Tune in to find out.
I’ve never been fond of all these guides, books, and programs that promise that they will bestow upon their users fame, fortune, and ultimate success. I say bullshit. If the guides to riches were really actually useful, the people writing the guide would’ve kept it to themselves, become stinking rich, and never had to write another guide book ever. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
