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 44

Panel 1
Medium close-up of Reggie, starting to doff his kingly attire – underneath he’s wearing a cotton t-shirt and trousers.

Reggie: But let’s get down to business. How do you guys think I did with our Terran friends?


Panel 2
Two-shot of Bert and Ernie. Bert is leaning forward in his chair.


Bert: Smashing light effects, Reggie! And where did you find that crown?

Ernie: Loved the uniform, too. Came from the Ceres Players production of ‘HMS Pinafore,’ right?


Panel 3
Medium shot of Reggie, carefully folding the uniform jacket.

Reggie: Mostly, though I borrowed some pieces from one of the Spartan costumes in ‘Lysistrata.’ The crown was from ‘Camelot.’


Panel 4
Reggie has turned away from the Guzmans while putting some of the Spartan accouterments in a box atop the filing cabinet. He has a wry smile, and you can see Bert and Ernie exchanging grins behind him.

Reggie: I had to choose between ‘Pinafore’ and ‘The Mikado’ and I was pretty sure I couldn’t pull off the ‘oriental potentate’ act.
