''Avalon'' was a webcomic by Josh Phillips set in the fictional city of Avalon, Ontario, Canada. It focused on a group of high school students, and while it was originally gag-a-day, it evolved into a coherent, long-term story with realistic characters. The comic launched on 8 November 1999 and was originally scheduled to end in August 2002.〔 It mentions the original target date for the comic's conclusion.〕 After a series of lengthening delays, Phillips eventually placed the comic on indefinite hiatus on 24 August 2004 and posted a text summary of the how the story would have played out, including the revelation that one of the presumed to be heterosexual characters would enter a lesbian affair. Phillips announced that, having recently been married, he had "outgrown" ''Avalon'' and cartooning in general, and had no further need to continue the project. ''Avalon'' was a member of Keenspot. ==Post-Hiatus== After an extended period of hiatus, Phillips mentioned that he was debating farming out the art and writing to fellow webcartoonist, David Willis, so that his dedicated fan-base could receive resolution of the story-line. No new ''Avalon'' comics were produced until 24 January 2006, when Phillips posted a new strip, and stated his intention to finish the series. Only seven new strips were produced, the last of which was released on 28 February 2006. As of May 2006, no new strips have been released, and no explanation has been given. On 15 February 2007, Phillips revamped the site, linking to the text summary of the (storyline's conclusion ) on the otherwise-blank main page. The author has since said that he has moved on from the strip and has no intention of continuing the project beyond the written conclusion. He briefly tried his hand at several smaller projects, such as the short-lived web-comic "Two-Eighty", but abandoned them after only a few updates. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avalon (webcomic)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
