No Fooling

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

A year ago, I put up the first strip for the latest Station V3 spinoff, Silence in the Darkness on Q16. And we all know how that turned out, right? Strip #366 went up today.

In other news, there are two new voting bonuses up today – Today’s strip translated into Violet’s language, and a new style of sprite strip for people who think the old style had too many words and sprites with too much detail.

And if you’re looking for the “green fuzzy thing crawling on your shoulder” joke, try today’s Z7!

Looking back, looking ahead

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Last January I made some comic-related New Year’s Resolutions. I think for the most part I managed to keep them:

  • Update Station V3 every day – yep, did that.
  • Update Z7 at least 50 times – I wound up putting up 98 new strips and getting it back on a regular schedule.
  • Update Ebb’s Children at least 10 times – Update 13 times.
  • Make a few changes to the site – Yep, made a few. Maybe not as many as I planned, but a few!
  • Finish putting together the first Station V3 book – Did that! (And you can buy it here.)
  • Keep things interesting – I certainly hope I did that!

…And I also did a few things I hadn’t planned to do! For example, starting Silence in the Darkness on Q16, the third Station V3 spinoff. It actually had the most visitors of the four comics last month, thanks to visitors from StumbleUpon, and various German web sites, such as this one. (Though Station V3 still had the Pac-Man share of the site bandwidth pie chart, and is back in the lead this month.)

Plans for 2008 include hoping the comics will earn enough through Project Wonderful ads and book sales to pay for their hosting, doing more guest strips for other comics, and generally doing pretty much the same thing I did in 2007! (Except for putting together the first book – I’ll have to work on a second one instead.)

…So keep checking this year and see how I do, and I’ll have a followup post on the subject this time next year. :)

Be sure to visit Zeera the Space Pirate today (if you haven’t already) and see the guest strip I sent in for the 6th birthday festivities there!

Some bonuses for voting

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Today’s voting bonuses: A bad translation of today’s strip, and a sprite strip in which Ebb has a rumor to share.

And in other news, Silence in the Darkness on Q16 has its first guest strip today!

Comic-specific social bookmarking

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

There’s a new social bookmarking site, Comicsby.us, which, unlike the social bookmarking sites I’ve already got buttons for, is dedicated to bookmarking comic strips. If you’d like to try it out, I’ve started adding the button for it to the archives here.

In other news, there are two new sprite strips up as today’s voting bonuses – in the first one, Round 4 of the simulation tournament finally ends. In the second one, they try to figure out who won. Thanks for voting!
