Happy Beethoven’s Birthday!

(Today’s Classic Peanuts rerun doesn’t seem to have remembered that, strangely enough…)

I’ve set up a Frappr group for Station V3, so if you want to see where other Station V3 readers are, or add yourself to the map, you can do that here!

Last month my sister gave me a stuffed Ulcer (H. pylori) microbe (one of these guys) – it looks a lot like Ebb eating spaghetti.

On that note, today’s bonuses are a sketch of Ebb and Neap at dinner, a photo comparison of Ebb with the ulcer microbe, and if you don’t like the Ebb=Ulcer idea, a photo of Ebb as a Christmas ornament.

Also, I finally put up a new Ebb’s Children strip the other day!

Rob Hamm of Blue Crash Kit, a daily comic about three furry superheroes (in an alternate reality based on “Firefly” in the current storyline), put out a call for guest strips while the artist, Shannon Henry, is in the hospital – I sent them one, which is up today. Get well soon, Shannon!

Since I use blogger.com for the Station V3 “news” entries here, Station V3 gets tracked by some sites as a blog. It must seem like a strange sort of blog… Most of the time I’m just talking about this comic strip I draw, how there’s new voting bonuses for it, and that sort of thing, with an occasional sci-fi TV, 60s rock, or holiday greeting message for variety!

Anyway…

The alternate story where Linton loses the simulation tournament continues with some new voting bonuses today – an alternate version of yesterday’s strip, an alternate version of today’s strip, and an extra panel that answers a question you might have after seeing the two alternate strips. Thanks for voting!
