Added 1 new A* page:I ran across another webcomic set around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*! It just started in September, and it's called (warning: there is some four-letter language) The Big Crunch. It's a comedy with all kinds of crazy aliens packed onto a doomed planet somehow circling the black hole; kind of makes me think of a combination of Scenes From A Multiverse and Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life, which are two pretty decent sci-fi comics in their own right. But they don't have the supermassive black hole A* in them, whereas The Big Crunch does, so maybe check that one out first.
And in fact--not that I'm biased or anything well okay maybe--the author of that comic sent me a link to this YouTube video showing a succession of space images zooming in from a full view of the Milky Way (as seen from Earth) to focus on the area right around A*:

I've seen other videos like that before but I couldn't find that I'd ever embedded one here, so there you go!
Oh yeah, since I've already mentioned a few other sci-fi webcomics, I'll also mention that I came across another one that was new to me: Space Base 8, a comedy featuring a crash test monkey, a space station, and wacky hi-jinks, illustrated in a loose and lively cartoon style.

And finally, over the weekend I noticed that A* was reviewed by Russians! Or the authors of some kind of blog in Russian, at least, as part of a sci-fi webcomic round-up. There are some other interesting comics in there I hadn't heard about before, although some of the most interesting ones are in kinda icky confusing or sound-playing Flash sites. :P Anyway I'm always excited when someone takes the time to review A*, so huzzah!

EDIT: Oops, and finally finally this time, regarding that music video picture puzzler in the previous post, here is *spoiler* the answer.
