For today’s bonuses, Contestant 5 concludes Round 4 of Rumormonger Idol – and in a sprite strip, Contestant 6 considers life after Rumormonger Idol.

(Apparently no invasions or abductions that we know of from last night… boring UFOs!)

I’m looking out the back window, and there are a whole bunch of things flashing different colors in the sky right now.

I haven’t identified them yet, they’re flying in all sorts of directions, and they’re certainly objects! So for now at least I’m seeing UFOs out the back window. (And so are some other friends and relatives in other parts of Northeast PA.)

Interesting!

To all the people who have arrived here lately searching for “who got kicked off Idol” – it was Contestant 6! But I doubt very much that was quite what you were searching for…

Round 4 of Rumormonger Idol begins now… Contestant 2 has some new modifications, and Contestant 4 is trying out a new strategy. What do you think?

(Oh, and for anyone who did get here with that search string or some variation of it, it seems that the answer you were most likely looking for this week was “Sanjaya.”)

Brant Parker, dead at 86.

Just eight days after Johnny Hart.

It’s a busy day in the extended V3 universe… In addition to today’s V3 strip, there are new strips up at all three spinoffs!

(And if that’s not enough, vote for V3 and see a Rumormonger Idol strip and a bad translation of today’s strip!)
