Just so you know, it looks like Apollo’s website hasn’t been updated in a few years, so maybe the best way to keep updated on their current work is through finding them on Bluesky and assorted socials. Eh, you all know the drill, you’re reading this online, after all. Anyway, how about this comic? It looks like it’s their latest book (published in 2025), and at a base level it’s the story of them trying to come up with a gender and personal identity that fully fits their needs. Things start off quietly, with Apollo in their childhood bedroom taking the time to watch the train roll by. From there we see them spending time trying to fit in at school when playing house with other kids (“I always opted to forego personhood and be the pet when on the playground”) and taking that attitude into classrooms, which led to more than a little bit of bullying. Once they got to the internet the idea of furries was introduced to them, which helped for awhile, but it was still tough to find real life friends to play along with them. Once Apollo got to college and started taking testosterone things seemed to be moving in the right direction, but there was always a sense that exactly what they wanted to become would be forever out of reach. It’s a fascinating story and it’s beautifully told (that last panel, told while they were at their most content, was still a bit of a gut punch), and I’ll bet there are lots of people out there who could get a lot out of reading this story. $5
