I've now heard two members of the Grass Roots sing their 1968 hit "Midnight Confessions" - just not at the same time. Rob Grill came around with his current version of the group for a concert a couple years ago, and Creed Bratton sang it last night at the Office convention going on this weekend. (And both versions were good!)

On a not-exactly-related note, today's first bonus is the return (sort of) of the Rumormonger Idol Reunion Special, and the second one is a sprite strip in which two rumormongers discuss the special (but one of them may have been watching something else). Thanks for voting!

Two new voting bonuses today - a sprite strip in which the rumormongers discuss some changes to the Rumormonger Idol Reunion Special, and a bad translation of today's strip, in which what Floyd says in the fourth panel makes even less sense. Thanks for voting!

It's been a week since I put up any new ones, so it's time I changed the voting bonuses - today's first one is a bad translation of today's strip, and the second one is a sprite strip with some rumormongers discussing the problems with the Rumormonger Idol Reunion Special. Thanks for voting, and if you've got a bonus request, let me know!

The Oh No Robot transcription buttons seem to be working again, so if you see any comics in the archives that need transcribing that you'd like to transcribe, feel free!

In other news, I've updated the bonus archive with everything up to (and including) the current two bonuses, so if you've missed any, you can see them now. (And Thank You to everyone who's been voting so far this month!)

And in other other news, that KeenSpace sampler comic book (with my autograph) from the 2004 Free Comic Book Day that was up on eBay wound up going for $4. So much for my plan to get rich by signing any copies I might have and auctioning them off... :)

Well, hopefully the motivational poster bonus the other day DIDN'T motivate any of you to enter any strip transcriptions for Station V3 at Oh No Robot, since the transcription entry seems to be having some technical difficulties right now, and all the transcription buttons have disappeared. (Fortunately, the transcriptions already entered haven't, so you can still search them.)

Speaking of technical difficulties, in today's first bonus strip, the Rumormonger Idol Reunion Special comes back from theirs, and today's second bonus is a bad translation of today's strip. Thanks for voting!

Two new bonuses today: a bad translation of today's strip, and another rumormonger motivational poster.

I don't know how motivated any of you might be feeling after seeing that poster, but just in case you are, there are only around 300 strips in the archive that still need transcribing! Or you could just tell all your friends about Station V3! Or have a look at Z7, Ebb's Children, and Silence in the Darkness on Q16! Or if you've got your own comic, get a rumor for it!

But if you're not motivated after seeing it, thanks for voting, anyway. :)

Today's first bonus is a sprite strip in which two rumormongers discuss a rumor, and the second bonus is a motivational poster made from that rumor. Thanks for voting!

Today's bonuses are two sprite strips (here and here) following up on the bit on the last Rumormonger Idol Reunion Special bonus about the judges hating contestants who wear hats. Thanks for voting!

An interesting eBay auction was pointed out to me today - an autographed copy of From Pixels To Paper, the 2004 KeenSpace Free Comic Book Day book. What I find interesting is that it's my autograph! And yes, it's genuine. (As if someone would fake that!) I'm not sure how much of a selling point that's going to be, but I'll be interested to see how it does.

In semi-related news, the bonus archive (where you can see my page from the book and the picture of Ebb and Floyd from the back cover) has been updated with the two dozen bonuses that went up since the last time I updated it, not including the current two.

The Rumormonger Idol Reunion voting bonus story continues with today's installment, in which the rumor that the judges hate contestants who wear hats comes up. And the bad translations also continue, with a bad translation of today's strip, English to German and back to English again by way of Babelfish. Thanks for voting!

The Kid's Book Project is close to being done - 50 webcomic artists (including me) making a story where they only see the page before theirs (working from the front) or the page after (working from the back), and some lucky artist gets to tie the two parts together. It's down to the last 10 artists, and should be coming out in December. It's £6 plus shipping (US price with shipping currently works out to $17.50 or so), and the proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In completely unrelated news, today's bonuses: A bad translation of today's strip, and a sprite strip in which two rumormongers discuss the Rumormonger Idol reunion.

And speaking of rumormongers - for any webcomic artists reading this, Get a Rumor!

The first Station V3 book will be available this month. (Not last month, as I'm sure some of you have noticed...) I'm making a few more changes to it, and adding a few more pages of new material. So when it does come out, it'll be that much more enjoyable!

To get the month started on the voting lists, there are two news bonuses up today: At TopWebcomics, the Rumormonger Idol reunion special continues, and at buzzComix, a rumormonger discusses the simulation tournament with one of the monsters. As an added incentive (bribe?), if V3 makes it to the Top 40 on either list this month, I'll add another desktop image to download to this page. Vote early, vote often!
