Strip 191 -- First Seen: 2009-06-08
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
Wide panel. Smyth is in the lobby of the hotel where he's staying. (Not everybody stays at the Water Bros. Boarding house). This is the “Hilliott.” The lobby should look fairly swanky, with (faux) marble counter tops and walls, one of those fake-waterfall things, overstuffed sofas, and “beautiful people” milling about.

Smyth, with his attaché case in hand, is at the concierge desk, speaking with the concierge. There should be a sign over the desk marked 'Concierge.' The concierge is handing Smyth a brochure.

Smyth: My good man, can you recommend a quality restaurant?

Concierge: There are several within easy walking distance, sir. They are listed in this guide.
Panel 2
Wide panel. On the street at the Hilliott Hotel entrance. Smyth, with case in his left hand and brochure in his right, glances to his left as he steps onto the sidewalk. We're in the downtown section, other businesses can be seen past the hotel entrance, a few pedestrians and vehicles.
Smyth: I wonder if the Tandoori here is worthwhile?
