Yesterday’s Peanuts rerun had Linus posing with his blanket and saying “I am Count Dracula from Transylvania” – I saw that one translated into German, in the book “Linus – oder: Wo ist meine Schmusedecke?” There he says “Ich bin Graf Dracula aus Transylvanien” – I think in that case the translation made it even more effective!

For a translation to German (and then back to English) that’s much less effective, there’s today’s first bonus! And the second one is a sprite strip in which one of the contestants is trying to get the judge to start the second round of Rumormonger Idol. Thanks for voting!

Today’s new bonus is a sprite strip in which Ebb wants to know when the next round of Rumormonger Idol is going to start.

(But don’t worry… The answer is most likely not the one the judge gives!)

I was all set to end the Rumormonger Idol Round 1 poll and reveal who’s getting kicked off – but the poll is tied! We can’t have that… So for now, the poll is still open, and today’s new voting bonuses are a sprite strip in which Ebb suggests Rumorbot could cast the tie-breaking vote, and a bad translation of today’s strip instead!

The Rumormonger Idol Round 1 results are coming soon – so if you haven’t voted yet (and still want to), now would be a good time!

Meanwhile, there are two new voting bonuses up today – a sprite strip in which Ebb discusses his Round 1 performance with Rumorbot, and a bad translation of today’s strip. Thanks for voting!

The votes are coming in for the “Who Gets Kicked Off” poll, but there’s no clear “winner” yet!

For today’s voting bonuses, there’s a sprite strip in which Rumorbot gives his reason for dropping out of the contest and becoming a judge, and there’s a bad translation of today’s strip. Thanks for voting!
