I hope you’re enjoying all the new voting bonuses so far this month, because there are three more today – a slightly mangled translation of tomorrow’s strip, and the final contestant and judges’ comments for round 2 of Rumormonger Idol!

On a different note, some fun facts from the site logs:

• Some people find Station V3 through some pretty strange searches!
• The least-visited strips in the archive last month were May 9, 2004, and December 29, 2004.
• At this point a visitor to Station V3 is just as likely to be using Firefox as Internet Explorer.
• While most readers are in the US, there are lots of visitors from other countries too!

The Station V3 Frappr map shows a sampling of Station V3 readers, illustrating that last point… Are you on it?

If you voted for Station V3 at TopWebcomics yesterday, you probably had at least a vague idea of what today’s strip was going to be like… Today’s bonus there is another badly translated look into the future! Over at buzzComix and Webcomics List, Rumormonger Idol continues with Contestant 3 and Contestant 4. Thanks for voting!

In other news, the trivia quiz has a winner, and the answers are up now!

There are three new voting bonuses up today to start off the new month: A badly translated preview of tomorrow’s strip, and the first two contestants in the second round of Rumormonger Idol (Contestant 1 and Contestant 2).

Last month Station V3 hit the top 40 goal on two of the three lists – thanks for voting! The voting lists do bring a lot of visitors to the strip, and this month I’m hoping even more people find the strip.

(Makes sense, right? When’s the last time a webcomic author said they hoped fewer people started visiting?)

I mentioned that the names of everyone who gets the answers right in the V3 trivia quiz get put in a hat to see who wins the “V3 Prize Pack.” (If you’re going to give it a try, send me your answers by the end of the day tomorrow!) Today’s bonus is a photo of Ebb attempting to wear the hat!

Three new bonus strips up today – by request, the rumormongers attempt to discuss current events on Earth here and here, and they discuss Rumormonger Idol here. Thanks for voting!

(And if you’re wondering about the “current event” in the second bonus, there’s some information about it here!)
