The Greys

Brilliant

Thanks merman

As always there's even more goodness to be found if you grab the SVG file and open it in Inkscape. We went a little overboard on the Easter Eggs with this one

Latest strip (the first one of Season 4, in case you hadn't guessed):

10th May, 2012 - "Corridors"


As we're at the start of a new season, it seems like a good time for a few reminders:

1) All our Greys comics are under a Creative Commons license which lets you pass them around to friends and family. Please do, if you think they'd like them.

2) We make the Inkscape SVG files available for all our comics for you to download and play around with. We hide Easter Eggs in all of them to encourage you.

3) Not familiar with Inkscape? Mark is writing a series of tutorials for Full Circle Magazine. More info here.

4) We have Greys strips translated into various languages. This year has seen a couple more Italian translations, a Russian one, and a huge number of Indonesian and French translations. The French ones now cover every single strip from Season 1! Check out the full list on our Google spreadsheet.

5) Our other comic, 'Monsters, Inked', is still running too.

6) You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter (and DeviantArt and Tumblr (twice!)).

7) This year our traffic has increased significantly - we've had to increase our ISP package three times! Obviously this costs us more money, so forgive me for finishing off with a small plug for our Season 1 & 2 CD-ROM which contains all 57 comics (plus source files), Italian translations, an interactive HTML5 audio interview, Easter Eggs, videos and more. Only £5, including worldwide delivery. If you don't want to give us £5 then any tips are also gratefully received on that same page.

8 ) Most importantly we hope you enjoy Season 4.

Hehe, so true. I loved Farscape for its organic feel and the fact they didn't look identical.

Great strip. Just imagine the poor audience in 30 years time, watching the remakes of Pearl Harbour and Battleship...

30 years? The way things are going it will be more like 10 years - or perhaps 5 if they think it needs a "reboot". I've heard that they're rebooting "Van Helsing" FFS!

If you like this strip I recommend grabbing the SVG file and opening it in Inkscape for the Easter Egg

Sam, our French translator, has created a piece of Greys fan art, based on Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters" album:

Wednesday 11th July, 2012: "It's All Relative"


This is a BONUS comic, which references a (fairly) topical subject, so we've posted it off our usual fortnightly schedule. Because of the topical nature, we've decided to post it even though we haven't finished drawing the Easter Egg yet, so for the time being there's no SVG file to download for this one. We hope to have that corrected in a couple of days, and I'll post here again when it's available.

It took a little longer than planned to finish the Easter Egg, but now the Inkscape SVG file for our latest strip is online in both English and French. It's one of our favourite Easter Eggs to date, so do download it and check it out.

Latest comic:

Thursday 26th July, 2012: "Tiberius"

[merman]

Very funny.

(You can explain away the R since it came from the second Star Trek pilot which was then shown as part of the series. But Gene Roddenberry was fond of the name Tiberius - he gave it as a middle name to a character on an earlier show he wrote - The Lieutenant. Coincidentally, that starred Gary Lockwood, who appears in the second Trek pilot as the character who creates the gravestone with the R on it...)

Latest super-topical bonus strip:

Monday 6th August, 2012: "A Curious Opportunity"

As is often the case, trying to get a topical strip out quickly means that the Easter Egg isn't finished yet, so no SVG file to download at the moment. I'll post here in a few days when it's available.
