Over at the Facebook page this week, we have votes for the bus’s new colour and large images from the comic (minus the speech bubbles). Now is the time to ‘like’ it!

Where there’s a will, there’s a sale!
Capitalism …in SPAAAAaaaace…!
I am not at all bothered by the switch to black and white… (well, the colors WERE nice but its understandable that you can’t do everything).
However, having overlong filler about the switch to greyscale is rather uninteresting.
It is only this story that will be in greyscale. Back to colour for the next one. The switch to grey is relevant to the plot.
Now, I finally caught up! I’m recently unemployed, and with trying to get used to the (temporary) situation, I had to let a few bills and such go for a bit. I was going to my local library to use their wifi, and their web filter won’t let me read this site! fortunately, my Internet is Virgin Mobile pay-as-you-go wireless, and I just bought me a new month of surfing! I’ve been chewing my nails, and the nails of anyone unlucky enough to get close, over how the Girls were coping with the current lack of local color.
Glad to have you back but sorry to hear about your employment situation. Hope something comes along soon for you.
Your local library blocks Girls in Space? The nerve! If I knew which library it was I’d be tempted to write them a strongly (or even strangely) worded letter asking them to explains themselves.
Sorry to leave you on a cliffhanger. Unfortunately the girls are about to find that the lack of colour in their universe is the *least* of their problems…!
The library is probably using some commercial blocking software. Those companies are notorious for considering their lists of blocked sites (and especially their criteria for putting sites on those lists) as proprietary information which they adamantly refuse to reveal or discuss in any way.
So, the library probably can’t do anything about it short of turning the software off and letting everything through. That, except for blocking the very worst stuff from the children’s area, would be my answer anyway.
(Of course, I’m the one driving around with a bumper sticker that says “Keep the Books, Burn the Censors”.)
I wonder if the Library has a super-user account where they can over-ride the rules to allow access. If kingklash tells me which library it is I’m up for writing them a letter.
It’s some commercial filter software, like Stonefoot said. It gives you a white page with a short description of why the site is blocked, and GIS is listed as, Reason: Pornography. But don’t feel bad, I’ve seen a blocked site listed as, Reason: Sports. It kinda has a broad definition of “Broad Definition.” Just business as usual here in the Bible Belt.
It must be a very broad definition of pornography. So broad it is, in fact, incorrect! The comic has no sex scenes and any nudity is shielded from the reader by the camera angle (or bubbles, towels, speech bubbles etc). What is the name of your library? I’d love to ask them to explain themselves.
It’s not the Anadarko Public Library, here in Anadarko, Oklahoma, as much as the Fortisguard filter software from Fortisnet.
But, as I’ve said, I have got my Virgin Mobile MiFi account money’d up again, so I can web-surf from home once more.
posted my own VW bus for you on your facebook page. you say you’re working on colors, but we’re in grayscale still? do you mean you’re working on 50 shades of gray?
Thank you so much for that. I loved seeing it.
Ha Ha!!! A colourblindness sale. Great sales tactic
I guess they could sell off black and white televisions and claim they are full colour!
