Thinking of a Rumor

Saturday, January 30th, 2016

In today’s new sprite strip voting bonus, one of the rumormongers tries to get some help thinking of a rumor for Rumormonger Idol… But he may have asked the wrong guy!

Rumormonger Idol Returns

Saturday, January 23rd, 2016

There was a request on the forum a few months ago for Rumormonger Idol to return… Now seems like a good time! Vote for Station V3 today at TopWebcomics to see some of the rumormongers discussing its return. :)

Good translations (and bad)

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Yesterday’s Peanuts rerun had Linus posing with his blanket and saying “I am Count Dracula from Transylvania” – I saw that one translated into German, in the book “Linus – oder: Wo ist meine Schmusedecke?” There he says “Ich bin Graf Dracula aus Transylvanien” – I think in that case the translation made it even more effective!

For a translation to German (and then back to English) that’s much less effective, there’s today’s first bonus! And the second one is a sprite strip in which one of the contestants is trying to get the judge to start the second round of Rumormonger Idol. Thanks for voting!

Round 2…?

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Today’s new bonus is a sprite strip in which Ebb wants to know when the next round of Rumormonger Idol is going to start.

(But don’t worry… The answer is most likely not the one the judge gives!)
