Avalon is a web comic set in the fictional city of Avalon, Ontario, Canada by Josh Phillips. The comic launched on November 8, 1999, and updates sporadically. It was originally scheduled to end in August 2002. However, a series of long-term hiatuses caused large delays.
On March 22, 2004, Josh Phillips announced that Avalon was going on indefinite hiatus, and that he was going to start a new web comic called Two Eighty. This comic only had three actual comics posted before joining its predecessor in a long-term unscheduled hiatus.
On August 24, 2004, Josh Phillips announced that he was officially ending Avalon, and posted a summary of the story's conclusion.
The strip focuses on a group of high school students, and while it originally started out as a mostly-storyless gag strip, it evolved into a coherent, long-term story with realistic characters.
In 2002, Avalon won the "Best Romantic Comic" award from the Web Cartoonists’ Choice Awards.
