The Greys
Re: The Greys
I wrote the gag before I saw that episode of The IT Crowd, but I did mention it (and embedded the same Youtube clip as you did) on the commentary for the strip. I'm sure there must be other parodies of that ad, too - it was just crying out for them.
Re: The Greys
Previous strip, "Demo Mode":
Last Thursday's strip - a few days late because we pulled it at the last minute to add a bit more polish to it:
Thursday 27th February 2014: "Rebel Spies"
In other news, we've got a new comic strip, "Elvie", which is appearing in Linux Voice magazine - issue 1 is now on sale in WHSmiths, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and others in the UK (plus distribution deals in other countries).

Latest strip:
Thursday 24th April 2014, "False Economies"
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day, and once again I will be in Aylesbury's Friars Square Shopping Centre supporting our local comic book shop. We're giving away signed 'Elvie' prints to anyone who arrives with a copy of Linux Voice, and we'll also have our 'Monsters, Inked' compilation available to buy - as well as Greys merchandise and other promotions. So if there are any other forumites from the Aylesbury area, do drop by and say hello.

Re: The Greys
Things may have appeared quiet on the Greys front, but we have been busy behind the scenes. But first I'll catch up a bit, with the penultimate strip of Season 5, "False Economies":
And a link to the last strip from S5:
Thursday 8th May 2014,"Honey I Shrunk the Fantastic Voyage into Inner Space!"
8th of May! MAY!? Just what have we been up to for the past four months?
First, we've been continuing to create our 'Elvie' strip for Linux Voice magazine. A few of those are now on our website, with the source files in our Github repository.
Secondly, we've been catching up with our backlog of French translations. We now have all of Season 2 translated - in addition to all of S1, S3 & S4 and most of S5. Huge thanks to Sam, our French translator, for the amazing amount of work he's done!
Finally, we were having trouble keeping up towards the end of Season 5, so some strips went online without Easter Eggs and SVG files. This has now been rectified, so all 139 Greys strips on our site have Inkscape SVG files you can download, each of which contains at least one Easter Egg.
We've started work on Season 6 now, but the struggles of S5 have shown that we can't continue to hit a fortnightly deadline - not if we want to keep the standards up and continue to produce ever more elaborate Easter Eggs. So S6 strips will be posted on an "as they're ready" basis, rather than a strict time scale.
One final thing: we're going to have a table at Oggcamp in Oxford (UK) on 4th & 5th October. It's a "Free Culture unconference", featuring Free Software, Free Culture works, open hardware, 3D printing, and a few Creative Commons comics

Re: The Greys
I've just posted Sam's final Season 5 French translation to our website. Meaning that, of our 139 Greys comics, he has managed to translate 138 of them, complete with commentaries and Easter Eggs! An incredible achievement for just one man in his spare time, and we can't thank him enough.
Re: The Greys
At last, Season 6 has begun...
Previous strip (last one of Season 5), "Honey I Shrunk the Fantastic Voyage into Inner Space!":
Latest strip, the first of Season 6:
Tuesday 14th October 2014: "Super Troopers"
Note that we are no longer sticking to a fortnightly schedule, so strips will appear on an ad-hoc basis, as and when they're ready. If you find the wait between strips to be too long, why not take a look at some of the previous 139, or download the Inkscape SVG files to go hunting for the many and varied Easter Eggs that we've hidden therein.

Regards "Spider-Grey", there is at least one super-heroine who already has that problem...

I suspected that someone else would have already made the same (fairly obvious) joke on a franchise that's been around so long, but didn't expect that anyone would have run with the idea to that extent.

Re: The Greys
It's nice to see The Greys is getting some attention again, I enjoy your comics.
