Strip 118 -- First Seen: 2009-02-25
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

Strip 118
Panel 1
Ernie walks into the café. Let's show this scene from behind Ernie, who is walking towards the clutch of friends standing near the bar.

Babbette: Well, look what the cat dragged in.

Ernie: Guy! Ready to go see another Ice Hammers game!

Panel 2
Ernie stands with the other friends. Position Guy just a short step away from the bar. He is wearing a hopeful expression. Everyone else is looking slightly apprehensive.

Guy: I'd be happy to, if Fiorella is also attending.

Guy (2): Will she be joining us soon?


Panel 3
Babbette is resting a comforting hand on Guy's shoulder as she breaks the news. Guy is expressionless.

Babbette. Shortly after you left, Fiorella signed on with a rock wrangler.

Babbette (2): By now she's about 100 million klicks out, retrieving a large nickel-iron rock for a local broker.
