HA!
Gotta love the induced psychosis of Dr. King. :)

I'm sort of ambivalent. Maybe torn has a more accurate connotation. On the one hand, I enjoy immensely the idea that Dr. King suffers from a variant of the Gerald Effect- that is to say, really bad luck.
Having it reveal as the product of some extranormal source is a bit of a let-down, really.
Yep, I preferred it as Dr. Gears put it: there is an anomaly in space-time which alters every known variable it interacts with to involve apple seeds, and that anomaly is shaped like our Doctor King. I'd have to withdraw my vote on this one, as much as I love Doctor King.
See, I actually read it as the opposite. Dr King isn't a Mister; he just found out about them somehow and had a psychotic break to try to rationalize why he keeps getting hit by appleseeds.

What is it with kids trying to write stories explaining old in jokes they don't actually know the explanations for? I'm blaming thedeadlymoose and his black moon bullshit for this one. Downvoted.

A) To me, it's clear that this isn't supposed to be an explanation, but rather a joke. No one's saying Mr. Sillybug's an actual Little Mister just because Interval 1 is about Mr. Sillybug. I can see that a couple others took it as an explanation as well, but I don't personally understand why. (Someone care to pipe up? I'm sure Salmander would like to know.)
B) The black moon thing I wrote was absolutely terrible and I should have known better. It also existed for… maybe thirty minutes. That's quite the influential thirty minutes there, yo. :P
As an answer to A, this is a very circles-within-circles type of site, where mind screws are the norm and subtlety is expected. We pride ourselves in adding twists to stories and putting in little extras for the reader to decipher. The response to this article actually made me smile, since there was a bunch of people trying to figure out the hidden message or the greater implications.
I'm pretty sure that the joke is that he got mistaken for Dr. King? Not very good, anyways.
