August was a pretty busy month here – a lot of people reading through the archives lately. New readers? Looking for answers for the trivia quiz? Going back and re-reading some of your favorite strips? Whoever you are and whatever the reason, thanks for reading! And point your friends here if you think they’ll like it! (If not, maybe some new friends…?)

So, about the Station V3 book, and that trivia quiz… Since this is September 1st, I can tell you someone has posted the right answers to the quiz, and will be getting a copy of the ‘prototype space pod’ version of the book. And since September 1st isn’t over yet, you can go see those right answers, post them yourself, and win a copy of the photocopied-and-stapled Station V3 mini-comic I put together for this year’s Free Comic Book Day, featuring a slightly revised Third Planet story. Do it now! Or if you’d rather wait for the book, it’ll be going on sale later this month. (Of course, you can always get both… That’s allowed!)

On the technical side of things, the host I’m on seems to be having a couple problems today – which fortunately aren’t affecting things here at this point, but if the site is suddenly gone, that may be the reason. (Of course, if it *is* gone, you most likely aren’t reading this.) The LiveJournal feed should be unaffected even if it does disappear, though, so you can always check that. I’ll try to get everything back up and running as soon as possible if it does go zap.

And finally, a big Thank You to everyone who voted for Station V3 last month and kept the comic in the Top 100 on TopWebcomics and buzzComix – it does seem to help bring in at least a few new visitors, according to the site logs! I’ve got two new bonuses up today to get this month started: A sprite strip in which Linton is not especially pleased with how he did in the first round of the Security Simulation Tournament, and a bad translation of today’s strip. Thanks for voting, and if you have a bonus request, let me know!
