Bob Oosterwijk, who does the comic Star Bored, has written 188 Lines About 99 Spacers who post to the Keenspace Forums, and drawn some great pictures to go with them – take a look! There are links to most of the Spacers’ comics, so you might find even more interesting things to read besides what Mr. Bob’s come up with.

(I’m one of those Spacers, and I seem to post a lot to the “Free Associations” threads there… but you’ll probably figure out which one is me even without that information!)

So, we went downtown last night to see the lighting of the Electric Building sign… We didn’t have the best view of it, with the rain, heavy traffic, people all around, and lack of available parking spaces, but it was still nice to see! (And after it was turned on we drove around the block and got a better view of it.)

For today’s new bonus, we see Floyd running into the same problem (and seeing the sign from the same angle) – fortunately, he wasn’t sporting his new look from the previous bonus at the time.

I recently saw an episode of The Persuaders, and thought one of the guys in the episode looked familiar, but couldn’t figure out who it was. It turned out it was Stephen Greif, the first guy to play Space Commander Travis in Blake’s 7. Maybe it was the mustache, beard, and lack of eyepatch that threw me off… Anyway, I felt a little better about my actor-spotting skills when I recognized Ralph Bates (“Hey, it’s the guy who played Michel Lebrun in Moonbase 3!”) right away in another episode.

Yesterday evening in downtown Scranton my wife and I saw the “Scranton – The Electric City” sign on the Electric Building lit up. This is the first time it’s been on in about 25 years. It was just restored this year… Its official lighting is actually today, as far as I know. I guess they had to make sure it was actually going to work when they officially turned it on!

DrunkDuck was having some problems yesterday, so you may not have had a chance to see yesterday’s Z7 comic, but it should be working now. (I know… dangerous to say that, it might be listening…)

Finally, in some V3-related news, I’ve updated the bonus archive, so it now has all the bonus strips, pictures, etc. except for the current three. Thanks for reading, thanks for voting, enjoy!

There’s a new reader request bonus strip up today, with Floyd going for a new look. (And he’s prepared to exterminate anyone who doesn’t like it!) The previous two bonuses are here and here, and if you have a request for one, you can post your request here!

Meanwhile, over at Z7, there’s been a little bit of a site update.

I got some Station V3 fan art from Paul “Paul.Power” Varley of the comic Boot Camp. Thanks, Paul!
