The Station, The Galaxy, and Other Things

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

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!

Q16 Milestone

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

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!)

V3 is 6!

Six years ago, Floyd thought a plant might cheer the station up, and Ebb listened to him make that observation. Now Floyd’s been rebuilt as a rumorbot, Ebb has been replaced with Neap, the original Plant is off in an alternate universe, and the station is apparently at the bottom of a swamp on a planet known as “The Celestial Orb With Soil On It” – and who knows what’s going to happen next?

(Well, of course I do, but I’m not saying yet!)

I hope everyone’s enjoying this year’s guest week, with contributions (so far) from Aaron Lewis, Robert Cook, and Wendy Wood!

In other news, Ebb’s Children actually updated today, and there’s a new episode of PodWarp 1999 up!

It’s been busy, and so have I

Well, Station V3 did end up in the top 40 on the Topwebcomics list in March – so there’s another new bonus (a bad translation of today’s strip) up now! And since the one before last was in December, I guess this does qualify as “sooner” like I said last month! (I would have had one up “even sooner,” but things have been busy lately.)

Some comic milestones – Z7 turned 5 earlier this month, and Silence in the Darkness on Q16 turned 2! And next week Station V3 turns 6 – time for another guest strip week, starting Sunday! (If you’re interested in drawing one, there’s still time to get one in for later in the week!)

2001: A V3 Odyssey

Today’s strip had to have a monolith in it, of course.
