Station V3’s 8th birthday is coming up next month (on the 6th), to be followed by the annual guest strip week!
In the meantime, there’s a new voting bonus up at TopWebcomics – a sprite strip, with a topic taken from the bonus requests topic on the forum. (Which has been pretty active lately! Check it out, even if only to vote in the favorite robot poll.)
I hope you’re all enjoying the guest strip week! I know I am… And it’s not over yet! But I’m not just taking the week off. I’m working on a few things, Z7 and Silence in the Darkness on Q16 are still on their regular schedule, there’s a new voting bonus up (by request), and there’s a guest strip I drew up at the comic Anything But Real Life.
Maybe next week when everything gets back to normal I can take it easy… 
Seven years ago, Ebb listened as Floyd said he thought a plant might cheer the station up. See how far they’ve come? Now they’re talking about failing inspections instead! Thanks for reading – virtual cake and ice cream all around, and guest strips next week!
You wouldn’t know it from the amount I’ve been posting on the blog here lately, but the past few months have been the busiest in terms of visitors/site traffic/etc. since the comic started! So I’d like to say hello to all the new readers, and thank everyone for reading! (Hello! Thank you!)
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day (or today, depending on when you read this) – In previous years I’d sometimes bring a photocopied and stapled Station V3 mini-comic to Comics on the Green and Unknown Comics, and they’d be nice enough to let me put it out on the table with the other free comics. However, since a good number of you don’t happen to live in Northeast Pennsylvania, this year instead you can download the PDF version of An Experimental Space Pod Visits Station V3 for free!
In other news, coming up on May 6, Station V3 turns 7! In addition to the (virtual) cake and ice cream, the annual guest strip week will be coming up the following Sunday to celebrate!
And finally, there’s a new bonus strip up to see when you vote for Station V3 at TopWebcomics – by request, the station’s original Plant is back for revenge!
There’s a milestone reached in the Station V3 universe today – Silence in the Darkness on Q16 had its 1,000th strip go up today!
(Most of them are dark, and many are also silent – but there are 1,000 of them!)
