Very enjoyable. I liked the tie in with the skeleton, and am glad you will be continuing work for Escapist with Dolorous. I have enjoyed Apocalypse lane from the very beginning, and it came as a surprise that this would be the series end. But it's all good, ending on a high note is a smart move...you should be proud of your entertaining achievments.
Just please...don't move to gamedog's ever....I hate that show, hope it is cancelled.

Fantastic work Jon. I loved this whole series. Everything even managed to come full circle, up until the actual nuclear fallout!
I kind of had an inkling that Steve wouldn't make it like Hickey before him, though. I wonder if he and cuddles will join the Rooster and Hickey in Heaven(?)
Although i really didn't want Steve and Cuddles to die (they were my favourite characters) i'm glad you chose to end it the way you did and not cheapen it. Thank you.
I'd really love to see an Apocalypse Lane 2, perhaps with a brand new set of characters. Although i'm sure it wouldn't have quite the same impact as this series did with its grand finale and all. Also, that psychedelic vagina comment was the best line of the whole series for me.

Jon Etheridge said:Wow... What a ride this has been. I want to thank each and every one of you guys and gals who stayed with this to the end. After a choppy start I think we managed to turn the show around and produce something unique in the world of web animation. I can't fully express in words how much fun I had making this series, and how sad I am to see it go. Goodbye Apocalypse Lane. You will be missed.
But on to some good news... I have been given approval to join Doraleous and Associates as a full time writer/animator/wizard and that show has now been contracted for a total of 72 episodes! With me helping out Brent Triplett on the animation, we plan on pushing the limits on what we can pull off in a week and well as making the show faster, stronger and possibly the best web series on the Escapist or any other site for that matter.
I know a lot of you want to know about a DVD and at this time I don't have an answer for you. DVD's are really expensive to package and distribute but I would love to see one and hopefully we can get that out one day. keep an eye on the Escapist for any announcements.
Again, thank all of you for watching this show. I'm going to be perusing this forum for a day or two and i'll try to answer as many questions as I can so ask away. Also watch our QandA if you did not see it yesterday. It's a fine example of our ADD

For the many many hours of happiness you have given me with Apocolypse Lane I salute you. Thank you for giving the community such a fantastic show and thank for giving it the send off it deserved. The last episode was an epic finale and the proper way to see the end of a truely unique and high class series. I wish you the best of luck over at D&A and I promise you I will be watching episode 72 alongside the rest if your fans. Keep doing what you do best. Play him off Kazzo Cat
I'm very surprised at how this show turned around. After the first two episodes I stopped watching until just before the 1st season ended. Once I gave it another shot, I found out how good it became. Well done.
I'm sorry to see the show end, but it seems like you told the story that you wanted to tell. Dragging the story out for the sake of dragging it out wouldn't make things better in the end i guess.
Well, on to bigger and better things I suppose. I haven't cared much for Doraleous so far but maybe you could turn that one around too. I'll check up on it in the future to find out.

It went out not as it came in. It didn't go out like Lost which had a bunch of questions unanswered. It went out....incredibly awesome.
Great fucking job John, and ill be glad to watch you on Doraleous. Also, I hope we get to see another show from you in the distant future. This one, im not forgetting for a long time.

You guys really couldn't have ended it in a better way. That was awesome. The origins of Father Hickey and the bones have been explained, Zed's justifiable nerd-rage... You guys need to keep doing this, your imaginations compliment each other perfectly. I look forward to your next series and I'm going to watch D&A until its completion. I wish you the best of luck on your next endeavor.Jon Etheridge said:Wow... What a ride this has been. I want to thank each and every one of you guys and gals who stayed with this to the end.

Awesome end to the series, didn't see that coming at all. Now I'm all sad, as much as I was looking forward to the end I still didn't want to see it go. Thank you for this masterpiece of mindfuckery, I really hope you guys get to do a DVD release for it, I would definitely pay money for this.
Question: At what point in the development of the story did you decide to make Steve be the tumor instead of Marty?

That was just the most beautiful, amazing finale I have ever seen.Jon Etheridge said:
Though you're a fucking bastard for ending such a great series! (Sorry, but I just hate the fact that it's gone now.)
Hopefully you guys will make a sequel or something in the Apocalypse Lane-verse.
Thank you so much for this!
To be honest I thought that the series was better when it didin't have a continuity in the episodes i mean some characters were nice add-ons (like the franklins,big pete,frank)but the direction it whent on the second season was a bit of a let down to me. not that i didin't like the series no i loved it but i think that the original format was better.
Damn...This ending puts a lot of shows to shame. It was just beautiful. Amazing finale. Thank you for making Apocalypse Lane for us.
I loved this series and am extremely saddened to see it go
I'm even more saddened because I know it's being replaced with Game Dogs, which is like replacing Doctor Who with Paris Hilton's "The Real Life".
But a bright side is that now Doraleous will be even MORE awesome, if thats possible! And it'll have to be, to carry the thursday cartoon show lineup, assuming a new more awesome show doesnt surface... perhaps it's time to revisit Unforgotten Realms?
