Today’s first new voting bonus is (by request) what happens after the station gets hit by a fragment of the third planet! And the second bonus is a sprite strip with two rumormongers discussing why the Rumormonger Idol Round 4 results haven’t come out yet. (Possibly because the poll is still open.) Thanks for voting!

Today is Station V3’s fourth birthday.

And, not coincidentally, today is the start of guest strip week!

Today is both Online Comics Day and Free Comic Book Day!

I did things for both occasions. You can see the Online Comics Day-themed Station V3 strip here (and there’s also one for Z7) – for Free Comic Book Day, I made another photocopied-and-stapled Station V3 minicomic. This year’s was mostly a condensed (and slightly modified) version of last year’s visit to the third planet. (And could be found this afternoon in downtown Scranton’s two comic book stores.)

Last month was Z7‘s third birthday – and this month (coming up on the sixth) is V3’s fourth! There will be guest strips next week to celebrate. (If you’d like to contribute one, there’s still time to get it in!)

Also this month, there will be some voting bonuses besides the usual sprite strips, bad translations, and Rumormonger Idol – though of course you can expect to see all those too! For example, today there are pictures of the two characters from V3’s system to attend the unreality conference (here and here) – but not in their usual colors.

There is no truth to the rumor that I’ve been quiet here because I’ve been abducted by the UFOs.

Or that they’ve asked me to please not call them boring.

Anyway, the Who Gets Kicked Off poll is up now on the forum, and today’s voting bonuses are a sprite strip in which two rumormongers (including one with a hat) discuss the voting, and a bad translation of today’s comic.
