I was working on my older computer where some of the first Station V3 strips are, to transfer some of them over and work on coloring them. I’m finding that in some cases, the originals aren’t exactly the same as what got uploaded… some of them have empty word balloons, some of them are missing parts, and some of them have different words. One thing I found was a slightly different (and smaller) version of the first strip, which is up as a bonus today. I also found the right version, and colored that one. (And that’s today’s other bonus!)

In case you’re wondering what the voting button currently on the site marked “Aardvark Toplists” is for – Comixpedia is trying out a script for their own voting list. I’m just helping them try it out.

So… color. The “sometime soon” I mentioned the other day is today! The new daily strips will be in color from now on, and the archives will be switching over to color too at some point.

Today’s bonus picture happened when I was discussing the talking asteroids in today’s Z7 with my brother… so you can give him the credit/blame for this one!

In Monday’s comic, the rumormongers on the planet were talking about some big changes rumored to be on the way. Could they have meant the comic switching to color? Well, no, since they were talking about the station in the comic, not the comic itself! But that is a change that could be on the way, since color came out ahead in the “color or black & white” poll at the beginning of the month. So don’t be surprised if you start seeing color here every day sometime soon.

For today, you can see the current comic in color as today’s voting bonus. (And yesterday’s bonus strip is now here.) In other voting news, buzzComix still seems to be down, so I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath for that list to come back any time soon!

I was pleasantly surprised to find out NBC is bringing back the US version of “The Office” for a second season… when I like a show and it doesn’t get wonderful ratings, that’s not usually what happens! I’m glad this one was an exception.

It looks like the rumormongers won’t get to watch it, though… in today’s voting bonus strip at TopWebcomics, their TV doesn’t seem to be getting very good reception. And at Webcomics List, you can see today’s strip in color. Thanks for voting!

In today’s new bonus strip, one of the rumormongers apparently has questionable taste in TV shows…
