Another rumormonger sighting

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

In addition to all their recent extended V3 universe appearances, some rumormongers have popped up in a strip over on the forum for The Mansion Of E, with one of them demonstrating his knowledge of Mansion-style profanity. (So – Warning: Language, I suppose!)

Rumormongers all the way

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Not only are the rumormongers in today’s Station V3 strip, they’re also in today’s strips at Z7, Ebb’s Children, and Silence in the Darkness on Q16.

And if that’s not enough, they’re also in both of today’s voting bonuses: A sprite strip in which they discuss the simulation tournament, and a bad translation of today’s strip.

Pretty busy day for them!

Working ahead

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Since a new strip goes up every day here, I try to work ahead to make sure I don’t wind up doing each day’s strip the night before. I don’t work quite as far ahead as some people do, but I do at least have strips done into next week at this point. But sometimes I decide to completely redo a strip instead of putting the one I have done up, and today’s strip was one of those. So I wound up doing it the night before.

The original version of today’s strip won’t go to waste – it’s up here now as today’s first bonus! And there’s a sprite strip with another unlikely rumormonger up as the second one. Thanks for voting!

Scranton Comic Book Convention

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

On my way back from Frackville on Saturday, I saw a sign for a comic book convention at the Clarion Hotel here in Scranton on Sunday – I did a quick search and found some messages about it on DrunkDuck and ComicSpace, and it seemed like it’d be worth going.

And it was – it was a small show (not that I’ve been to any others to compare it to), but there were a bunch of dealers and several creators with tables there. I wound up talking to a few of them, including James Nguyen (who posted the message on DrunkDuck – he has his comics Inhabit and Jonas of the Sword up there), Chris Ring (who posted the message on ComicSpace – among other things, he’s the creator of Carbon Knight, a four book comic series about a superhero originating in the Centralia PA mine fire), and Dan Parent (a freelance artist who – among other things – has done a lot of work for Archie Comics).

And of course I brought a bunch of copies of this year’s photocopied-and-stapled Station V3 “Free Comic Book Day” mini-comic with me. So hello to anyone who met me there or picked up a copy of the book!

Q16 Milestone

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

Today’s Silence in the Darkness on Q16 strip was the 100th one.

…That’s 99 more than I originally planned to do!
