Breaking the Silence (September Edition)

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I’ve been a little quiet here so far this month – mainly because most of the time I have to work on the comic has been spent on the actual comic! (Not all, I’ll admit – but most!) But I’m still here. PodWarp 1999 has also been a little quiet, but we’ve got a couple new episodes that’ll go up as soon as they’re done being edited. In the meantime, you can listen to some other webcomic podcasts, such as the Sequential Artists’ Pub (you can hear me contribute a bit to some episodes there), the Gigcast, the Webcomic Beacon, Webcomics Weekly, and Digital Strips. (And of course any others you find! But check back in with Podwarp 1999 soon.)

In other news, Ben Gordon mentioned in a recent post on The Floating Lightbulb that he wouldn’t be surprised if Station V3 is a “break out” comic in the coming year, “as more people discover the great color choices, wild cartoony art and reliable humor.” Sounds good to me! If you’ve got a website and want to link to Station V3 to help out with that, I’ve got a page with some banners and buttons you can use.

I’m always working on that sort of thing too, of course, and one way is by advertising on other sites through Project Wonderful. I’ve had some nice comments on some of the ads I’ve been using recently with sample comic bits in them. If you haven’t seen the ads (or even if you have), I’ve got two versions of a comic I drew for them up as today’s bonuses, here and here. And of course, voting for the comic is another way to help promote Station V3! While the effectiveness of voting lists has been the subject of some debate, I will say they do bring at least a few people here. So thank you to everyone who’s been voting – and thanks for reading!

Labor Day

Happy Labor Day!

It’s time for some new bonuses – the first one is an alternate version of today’s strip, with the seemingly-required Labor Day comic theme of exploding barbecues. (Also tripe.) The second one is a Rumormonger Idol sprite strip, with a rumor going around about a new judge.

On a different note, Station V3 has been invited to join the sci-fi section of the Palace in the Sky comic group – and so it has!

V3 Featured at Road Crew

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Station V3 is today’s Featured Comic over at Road Crew, a comic about the guys behind the scenes of a touring rock band. Those of you coming from there (welcome!) will already have seen that, of course… Those of you who haven’t can go there and see that – and read the comic!

Warping another Pod

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Episode 20 of PodWarp 1999 is up – we have Steve Troop of Melonpool on as a guest, and we discuss his new project that’s happening, CryptoZooey, and his new project that didn’t quite happen (but look for it again next April 1), Zero Worship. And also time travel, alternate universes, and the PodWarp 1999 drinking game.

ComicSpace

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

A few of you may already know this – I have a ComicSpace page, which I rarely checked, and updated even less often. But I logged in tonight, and finally got around to making a few changes, including adding a gallery of sample strips for Station V3, Z7, Ebb’s Children, and Silence in the Darkness on Q16. Check it out, especially if you’re also on ComicSpace and think you might like to add a gallery like that to your favorites (and/or me as a friend) – and if you have a favorite V3 (or Z7, Ebb’s Children, Q16) strip you think should definitely be in that gallery, let me know!
