Strip 584 -- First Seen: 2010-12-02
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

QV on a short break

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

Kickstarter successful and closed

The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Kinko and the alpha-male pig charging towards each other. The pig is a bit larger than Kinko, and due to the low gravity he can leap up a couple of feet into the air. So they're pretty much face-to-face in this frame.
Kinko: GRAAAAA!!!
Alpha-pig:

Panel 2
Kinko and the pig grappling, rolling and bouncing (low gravity) in the muck
SFX: various grunting sounds

Panel 3
Kinko is on the pig's back, his ankles locked under the animal's thighs and his arms around the pig's neck turning his head to this side in a kind of hammer-lock. The pig struggles and the bounce a bit but the pig is effectively pinned.
SFX: various grunting sounds

Panel 4
Kinko stands triumphantly, completely covered with muck and arms upraised, over the alpha-pig which lays submissively at his feet. In the background left, we can see Sv. Lewis giving a thumbs-up sign.
Lewis: Y'got the job, kid!
Kinko: Boo-ya! I am Boss Hogg!
