A new month

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Here we are in February! A little preview of things to come this month: The station gets back to normal! Or maybe it doesn’t.

I’d like to thank everyone again for voting for Station V3 – it made the top 40 on two of the lists again (and #56 or so on the third). The goal for this month is top 40 on all three, so to get that started, here’s a bad translation of today’s strip, the continuation of Rumormonger Idol… and a bad translation of Rumormonger Idol!

Saying something…

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

I haven’t said anything here since Sunday… I feel like I should at least post something like “the bonuses are updates, thanks for voting!”

So…

The bonuses are updated! Two random drawings (in color!) here and here, and a bad translation of today’s strip (in black and white!) here!

Thanks for voting! :)

Bonus request time

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

Three new bonus strips today, from requests on the forumRumormonger Idol continues, The Plant comes back to check on Plant Jr, and the Dangerous Lunatic In Suspended Animation seen a couple days ago escapes!

I’d like to thank everyone who’s been voting for Station V3 (again!) – people are still finding V3 for the first time through the voting lists, and your vote helps move it up where it gets noticed. :)

TV bonus

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

To mark the occasion(?) of American Idol’s return to the airwaves, there are two new voting bonuses today (a strip and a sketch) dealing with TV on the rumormonger’s planet!

ComicOstrich mk. II and other things

Monday, January 16th, 2006

There was a news article on Comixpedia last month that briefly mentioned ComicOstrich as a webcomic collective that seems worth checking out. I thought that was interesting, since at the time it wasn’t really a collective… but it did seem like a good use for the site, so it’s gone through a little bit of a redesign, and that’s what it is now! The member comics so far (besides Station V3 and Z7) are Alternate Delusions by Tim Volpe, Beyond Reality by Orion Gates, and The Mansion of E by Robert Cook.

The redesign to the ComicOstrich site wasn’t too extensive (at least not yet) – front page links to the member comics, and the addition of a blog. You’ve probably noticed the little ComicOstrich link exchange box for the member comics here (to the right) and on the other comics’ sites, and of course there was already a ComicOstrich forum. The semi-hosted comics that were there before (including Ebb’s Children) are still there, since it seemed like a shame to take down the script after I got it to at least a semi-usable state! :)

In other comic-related news, there was a “draw Batgirl” meme that was going around LiveJournal the other day. Of course, I had to do it too…

And in non-comic news, it seems the new Dr. Who will be seen on US TV – or at least on US cable TV. Specifically, the Sci-Fi channel will be showing it. According to this article on the BBC’s Dr. Who site, they’ll be showing it on Fridays at 9 PM starting in March.
