There was some sort of glitch last night which resulted in most of Station V3’s archive going missing this morning, but it looks like it’s all back up and running now.

While I was in reuploading some stuff, I also updated the bonus archive with the recent voting bonuses (apart from the current ones), so if you missed any, now’s your chance to see them!

Saw “Revenge of the Sith” earlier this week… good movie, probably the best of the prequels, does a pretty good job of tying the prequel trilogy into the original one. But then you probably knew that already, since you probably saw it before I did (or at least heard from someone who did).

And since I’m in a Star Wars mood, today’s two new voting bonuses are Star Wars related!

I was working on my older computer where some of the first Station V3 strips are, to transfer some of them over and work on coloring them. I’m finding that in some cases, the originals aren’t exactly the same as what got uploaded… some of them have empty word balloons, some of them are missing parts, and some of them have different words. One thing I found was a slightly different (and smaller) version of the first strip, which is up as a bonus today. I also found the right version, and colored that one. (And that’s today’s other bonus!)

In case you’re wondering what the voting button currently on the site marked “Aardvark Toplists” is for – Comixpedia is trying out a script for their own voting list. I’m just helping them try it out.

So… color. The “sometime soon” I mentioned the other day is today! The new daily strips will be in color from now on, and the archives will be switching over to color too at some point.

Today’s bonus picture happened when I was discussing the talking asteroids in today’s Z7 with my brother… so you can give him the credit/blame for this one!

In Monday’s comic, the rumormongers on the planet were talking about some big changes rumored to be on the way. Could they have meant the comic switching to color? Well, no, since they were talking about the station in the comic, not the comic itself! But that is a change that could be on the way, since color came out ahead in the “color or black & white” poll at the beginning of the month. So don’t be surprised if you start seeing color here every day sometime soon.

For today, you can see the current comic in color as today’s voting bonus. (And yesterday’s bonus strip is now here.) In other voting news, buzzComix still seems to be down, so I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath for that list to come back any time soon!
