For today’s voting bonus pleasure… remember the “Magic Eye” stereogram books that were all the rage about 10 years ago? Cross your eyes and see a 3D picture! There’s a picture hidden in two of today’s bonuses. One where the picture’s hidden in what looks like TV static, and another where the picture is hidden in a bunch of pictures of Mr. Maintenance Engineer. The third bonus is the solution. Which you don’t have to cross your eyes to see.

Thank You to everyone who’s been voting! Almost there on the “Get Station V3 in the Top 40 on all three lists” goal.

DrunkDuck had been having some problems recently preventing me from uploading new Z7 strips there, but it seems to be back up and running now!

It’s been over a week since I changed any of the voting bonuses, so today I’m changing all three at once! All three come from a request in the bonus request thread on the forum to see a size comparison of V3 and other stations and ships – I’ve done three sketches (up at buzzComix, TopWebcomics, and Webcomics List) that should give a general idea of how big V3 and Z7 are in comparison to other stations, shuttles, escape pods, etc. And the Bonus archive has also been updated with all the previous bonuses. Thank You to everyone who’s been voting! The current goal is to get Station V3 into the top 40 on all three lists. (From there: World domination! Or maybe the top 30.)

I’m back from a nice vacation in Wildwood NJ. Before going, we had been checking the forecast to see if it was going to rain… That’s one thing it definitely did not do.

In today’s bonus strip, Neap is back from his vacation orbiting the gas giant in V3’s system… or did he visit the boardwalk?

Speaking of voting bonuses, buzzComix is up and running again, so I’ve added that voting button back to the main page. Since I didn’t want more than three voting buttons on the main page – but didn’t think I should completely eliminate the links to any others I might be on – the Project Comics button is on the fun page, along with voting links for the Comixpedia and KillBoredom lists. (The more places there are links to Station V3, the more people might find it! Or at least that’s the idea…)

I’ll be away from the computer for a few days, but I’ve worked ahead, so the comic should update without me.

And here’s a bonus strip in the meantime, too.
