Brant Parker, dead at 86.

Just eight days after Johnny Hart.

It’s a busy day in the extended V3 universe… In addition to today’s V3 strip, there are new strips up at all three spinoffs!

(And if that’s not enough, vote for V3 and see a Rumormonger Idol strip and a bad translation of today’s strip!)

A few more Rumormonger Idol Round 3 bonuses today – A few parting words (or not) on the show from Contestant 6, and a sprite strip with a few thoughts from him off the show.

(What are your thoughts?)

Today’s bonus strip – the Rumormonger Idol Round 3 results are in, and one of the judges has a few comments!

Johnny Hart, dead at 76.

I’m going to have to go through some boxes in my attic and find some of the older B.C. and Wizard of Id books to read again – they used to be my favorite after Peanuts. (I wouldn’t describe some of his more recent work as my favorite – but I still read the comics in the paper every day.)
