In 1992, Todd Van Buskirk attempted to create a comic strip called, "Liver Pizza." The characters and idea of the strip were refined over a twenty-year period, with Van Buskirk never quite satisfied with the results until he found a story solution during a 2008 production assignment in college. The core of the story was then presented as a basic animated storyboard with future plans to animate a short film, a plan that never came to fruition. After graduating, Van Buskirk took the storyboard panels and used them in a chapter of his first novel, "Apple and Leo." He also attempted to create more panels for a one panel comic strip in 2010. The strip was posted on his blog until abandoned due to lack of promotion and no interested audience. Todd Van Buskirk has taken his failed comic strip, "Apple and Leo" and refashioned the 48 surviving panels into a new comic book series. The new narrative is now caught in countless dream-like loops of thought.
