Brilliant!

Thanks Merman, glad you liked it

The Inkscape SVG file for 'A Curious Opportunity' is now online. If you're looking for the Easter Egg, you might want to remind yourself of the one from 'War of the Worlds Part I' first.

Hehe, saw someone tweet the other day that Dulux only has fifteen shades of grey. And the Commodore 64 had 3.

Note: This is another topical strip, so has been posted as soon as the main strip is 'complete'. We're still working on the Easter Egg, however, and intend to make some more tweaks to the main strip, so there's not yet an SVG file to download - it should get posted (together with an updated PNG of the main strip) in the next day or two.

The 'Paralympians' SVG file is on the site now, for anyone who likes to dig around for Easter Eggs using Inkscape.

It's with great satisfaction that I'm posting this link to our latest comic, as it's a bit of a landmark for us: we're now into triple digits! Yes, this is our 100th Greys comic!!!

To celebrate, we've also included a hand-drawn sketch and a bonus strip. Our translators have been extremely supportive, as ever, so that we are able to post this simultaneously in English, French, Indonesian, Italian and Russian!

Thursday 25th October, 2012 - our 100th strip: "Centenary Correspondence"

And that's not just 100 comics. That's 100 comics, complete with Inkscape SVG source files to download, each with at least one Easter Egg hidden away in it somewhere (which are often whole extra strips). It's thousands of hours of work, and quite a lot of storage space and bandwidth. Our hosting charges have more than quadrupled since we started, so if you've been enjoying our work then please do consider making a small donation or buying a CD.

Superb, and congratulations on 100 comics!

Previous strip - our 100th - "Centenary Correspondence":




For the 101st strip we decided to put in a lot of props and characters from the past 100. It's a cheap and easy way to fill up a scene, but also a slight nod to the flashback episodes that so many programmes lazily use.

WARNING: this comic is all about swearing in sci-fi, so does contain some strong language which may offend particularly sensitive readers.

Thursday 8th November, 2012: "Frakking Kids"

[F-ZeroOne]

Heh, I once on another forum put together a list of near-future SF tropes, one of which was "In the future, everyone will use made-up swear words like "Drokk!" or Smeg!". Turned out the latter one wasn't as make-believe as I thought...

Incidentally, why do the mecha toys have Macross Destroid bodies and legs but Power-Loader arms...? What toyline are they sourced from?

[merman]

I loved the swearing on Farscape, personally...
