V3 is 6!

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Six years ago, Floyd thought a plant might cheer the station up, and Ebb listened to him make that observation. Now Floyd’s been rebuilt as a rumorbot, Ebb has been replaced with Neap, the original Plant is off in an alternate universe, and the station is apparently at the bottom of a swamp on a planet known as “The Celestial Orb With Soil On It” – and who knows what’s going to happen next?

(Well, of course I do, but I’m not saying yet!)

I hope everyone’s enjoying this year’s guest week, with contributions (so far) from Aaron Lewis, Robert Cook, and Wendy Wood!

In other news, Ebb’s Children actually updated today, and there’s a new episode of PodWarp 1999 up!

Strange coincidence, update, random news

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

In yesterday’s strip (3/20), a rumormonger added two and two to get 4,376. I had considered several other numbers – like 22, for example – before deciding on a number that included the answer and the phone exchange of somewhere I used to live. Coincidentally, as pointed out by a reader, the asteroid 4376 Shigemori was discovered on 3/20/1987 – 22 years ago. Maybe I meant to do that?

In other site news, I’ve updated the links page, and added another page with links to fellow Palace in the Sky comics.

And in other non-Station V3 webcomic news:

Robert Cook’s comic The Mansion of E recently hit the 2,000 strip mark. Congratulations, Robert!

While there haven’t been any new episodes of PodWarp 1999 uploaded since January, it’s not dead yet! There are more episodes on the way. If you have any suggestions for a future episode, you can post them on the PodWarp forum. Meanwhile, Mark Mekkes and I were among the people on the latest live episode of The Gigcast.

And speaking of PodWarp, fellow PodWarper Ben Paddon has put out a Jump Leads book! Fun stuff.

More bonuses

After drawing the first version of today’s strip, I decided the four panels could be condensed into three, and a new last panel added – so I drew the version you see above. But the original version won’t go to waste… It’s today’s first voting bonus! The second one is a bad translation of today’s strip. Thanks for voting!

Zeera the Space Pirate 7th Birthday

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

To help celebrate the 7th birthday of Zeera the Space Pirate, I sent over a guest strip – or at least an alternate universe version of one!

Happy Birthday Zeera!

Take a look at the latest page up at Gilbert and the Grim Rabbit, and see what happens when the Grim Rabbit enters a mysterious vortex!

(Hint: It involves the station!)
