Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Back in the Water Bros. Café, during a slow period. Wally Cooper is seating himself at a booth, as Emily Rose approaches him.

Emily: Er, long time no see, Wally.

Wally: Uh, yeah. Mom's taken up the cello. Can't study at home.

Panel 2
Wally (now about 13 years old) is setting up his portable at the table. It consists of a rectangular bar about 15 inches wide which projects a holoscreen above and a holo-keyboard at its base.

Emily: What are you studying?

Wally: Orbital mechanics. Could I please have an iced tea, a BLT sandwich and some solitude?

Panel 3
Emily is standing over next to Babbette the Elder at her cashier's stand, Emily glancing back over her shoulder towards where Wally is sitting.

Emily: I've never seen a kid his age so … so ...

Babbette: Driven? Yeah, that's his way of coping with … the war.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Emily and Babbette. Emily is looking a bit downcast Babbette is looking as though she's unsure of what she's saying.

Emily: Yeah, he was closer to Billy than I was, in a way.

Babbette: Don't know about that, Emily, but if he's found a purpose in life, that's not a bad thing, necessarily.
