There are three new voting bonuses up today to start off the new month: A badly translated preview of tomorrow’s strip, and the first two contestants in the second round of Rumormonger Idol (Contestant 1 and Contestant 2).

Last month Station V3 hit the top 40 goal on two of the three lists – thanks for voting! The voting lists do bring a lot of visitors to the strip, and this month I’m hoping even more people find the strip.

(Makes sense, right? When’s the last time a webcomic author said they hoped fewer people started visiting?)

I mentioned that the names of everyone who gets the answers right in the V3 trivia quiz get put in a hat to see who wins the “V3 Prize Pack.” (If you’re going to give it a try, send me your answers by the end of the day tomorrow!) Today’s bonus is a photo of Ebb attempting to wear the hat!

Three new bonus strips up today – by request, the rumormongers attempt to discuss current events on Earth here and here, and they discuss Rumormonger Idol here. Thanks for voting!

(And if you’re wondering about the “current event” in the second bonus, there’s some information about it here!)

Thanks for all the votes the past few days! I’ve updated the bonus archive again with everything except the current three voting bonuses, so if you’ve missed any, take a look!

I’ll be getting to some requests for the next voting bonuses, so if you have any, you can add to them to the list on the forum. (And while you’re there, don’t forget to check out the V3 trivia quiz!)

Today’s comic deals with Violet’s need for a translator… So how would that be translated? Today’s bonuses are a few alternate versions/bad translations of it (here, here, and here) – thanks for voting!
