What is Sofa King, you ask?  Well… I can’t tell you.  Not yet, anyway.  But it’s coming… oh, yes.

If today’s comic looks a little odd… it was done in Photoshop.  Normally, I use Paint Shop Pro – I’ve been with it for a very long time, and continue to hold it near and dear to my heart.   However, in the interest of being a multi-talented artiste, I’m trying (emphasis on *trying*) to get over my many, many prejudices towards Photoshop.

Hey there, AoD Fans!  Weirdonian here with my Dragon*Con 2009 report!  Where to begin?

Many of my friends and family were surprised that I was going on this trip, especially since I was traveling alone. I was a bit surprised myself by it as it was somewhat out of character, but then I’m feeling more myself now than I have in a very long time (that probably doesn’t make any sense to anyone, but it does to me). I went for a variety of reasons, chief among which was that I hadn’t experienced a convention like this before. Oh, I had gone to a few local ones back in middle and high school, but Dragon*Con is something different.

Today’s entry comes from the strange, sad world of Desolate Robot.  It’s a collection of submitted comics all orbiting around the same poor, unfortunate robot protagonist, and I’m officially helping make things worse.  They welcome submissions, so I strongly recommend any of you webcomic creator/slackers out there express some of your rampant unwanted creativity through their medium.

I’d like to thank everyone who stuck with us during the last few weeks and the birth of the baby.  With this comic, I’m officially resuming control as the master-and-commander of AoD.  I’d also like to thank anyone who provided filler art/comics – trust me, they’re still going to be used.

On an unrelated note, Comicpress Manager seems to have uninstalled itself from my site, so I’m going manual until I can put it back in.  Here’s to hoping this works.

Once again, The Apple of Discord will be represented… sort of, anyway… at Atlanta’s giant scifi/fantasy/what-have-you convention, Dragon*Con.  As I indicated before, I myself will be unable to attend (due to The Baby) this year, however co-collaborator Russ is taking over my duties kissing hands and shaking babies this year.

As I indicated before, in addition to Russ wandering around, Impy and Poe of the webcomic Errant Story and their “studio store” Selling Out for Fun and Profit are going to have a limited supply of Official Apple of Discord merchandise for sale and to give away.  T-Shirts (both the Gayzilla and the Love Triangle models) are $15 each and all three volumes of the AoD Year 1 print collection are available for $5 each.  There’s also the free stuff – buttons, some apple jewelery, and even some Golden Apples, available for the asking.  Here’s a link to their post describing where they are and how to find them.

The Union of Heroes crossover continues.

So to answer the pressing question J Gray keeps asking me… that’s where The Apple has been hiding.  Bizarro Germany.

Also note The One Who Know’s explaination here… I’ll try and explain it in as correct of a tense as I can.  A future version of Art will go back in time (has have had to go forward/back in time) , giving (will have to have had given) the Apple to TWHK so that he can go forward (back… er… sideways… I’m not sure anymore) and give it to himself again.

Unless The One Who Knows is just lying.  Which he may be.

Ok, everyone, I know I’ve been a smidgen silent the last couple weeks… that’s because we finally had the baby!  As you can see, everything was already planned for (thanks to Arne of Union of Heroes for the extended crossover, as well as to Russ for generally covering things) so there was never any interruption of service for the comic, however there have been a decided lack of new news posts from yours truly.  So hold on tight, here’s some news (and pictures) at ya:

One word – fruity.

Still in the process of the painless transition between Comicpress 2.7 and 2.8, probably will be working on it off and on for a few days.  I’ll do my best to maintain site functionality throughout, you just might occasionally see some background graphics not working correctly.

Note to self: don’t embark on coding projects when you haven’t been able to sleep for a few days.

The Union of Heroes crossover continues… ack!  Attacked by a friendly old man!

The Union of Heroes crossover continues… and Art’s lost.  Surprise, surprise, surprise.  Of course, the fact that he can’t speak German may have been a contributing factor.

Today’s comic begins begins the final arc in an ongoing story that has spanned not only this comic, but several others…

As you may remember, back in April, Arthur “Art” Castle, the (former) main character for the regular-cast portions of The Apple of Discord, left amidst scandal.  He has since appeared in several other comics, seeking work or something to prove his worthiness to hold on to main character status.

It hasn’t worked out that well.

One of the things he’s discovered is that, well, the problems with the real-world economy have trickled down into the webcomic world economy, and that there just aren’t that many jobs out there to be had.  So after venturing far and wide, we now witness the final leg of his journey… to Germany, and to a real-world photo comic called Union of Heroes…

For those of you who don’t know, UoH is a magic (and somewhat tragic) world where the reality-hopping The One Who Knows (think Professor Xavier, only with hair… and legs… and the powers of Q from Star Trek) has recruited the non-superhero-ed Marc from a different dimension to replace his mysteriously-missing counterpart The Erzengel to continue the war on crime.  Marc gets thrown head-first into the role of Other Marc, discovering that this world – while very like his own – is also very different.  For starters, his ex-girlfriend in his home dimension is still his girlfriend in this dimension, except for the bit where she’s really the other Marc’s girlfriend… it’s all very complicated.  But good.

UoH and AoD had a little… run in… during Frumph’s WAR game back in March (Amy of Epic Fail and I were about to do a Fusion, all DBZ style, to kill UoH, when we got swatted out of the air) but since then Arne and I have worked together on the Webcomic Planet Collective.  This may be another one of those webcomic “firsts”… not only is it a cross-continental comic collaboration, it’s also a cross-format cross-continental comic collaboration.

Also, since Art started as a sprite comic character and has migrated to hand drawn (crayon, pencil, pen, and marker) and digital (raster, vector, and Paint Shop Pro “Art” medium) and now photo… I think he may be going for some sort of record for cross-format appearances.

Just a little project I’m working on.
