Strip 261 -- First Seen: 2009-09-14
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

Dr. Peña's office. Looking past Peña towards Reggie, who is smiling affably.

Reggie: No, I'm not a scientist, but I am a fairly talented magician by training and trade.

Reggie: What that means is, I'm a professional liar.

Panel 2
Looking over Reggie's shoulder towards Peña. Peña is looking exasperated and starting to interject. We can see one of Reggie's hands raised in a waving motion, cutting him off.

Peña: You ...

Reggie: Magicians understand human nature and don't take everything on face value.

Reggie: We know to look for the strings and the trap doors. Scientists do not.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Peña, now clearly angry, fists on the desk before him.

Peña: That's ridiculous! We scientists are not trying to fool anybody.

Peña: We just look at the evidence objectively and dispassionately. What other way is there?

Panel 4

Medium shot of Reggie, looking levelly back at Peña.

Reggie: Maybe you need a little more passion.
