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 51

Panel 1
We’re back at the café. Establishing shot Guy and Fiorella are seated at a table, having a late breakfast. Ernie Guzman is standing by with a friendly grin and so is Babbette the Younger.

Guy: So you are to guide us today, er, Mister Guzmán?

Ernie: We generally use ‘Sov’, that’s short for ‘Sovereign,’ as formal titles, but you can call me ‘Ernie.’

Panel 2
Looking past Guy and Fiorella at Ernie and Babbette, who are both beaming.

Ernie: And I’m inviting you to attend this afternoon’s ICE HAMMERS game.

Babbette: Ernie co-sponsors the team and has a great viewing box.

Panel 3
Guy and Fiorella from Babbette’s POV (we can see some of the back of her). Guy is sitting erect with his jaw forward, reciting his bureaucrat’s bushido, but he is also glancing sideways at Fiorella, who has a hand on his forearm and is making doe-eyes at him.

Guy: Thank you, ah – Ernie, but I’m afraid such barbaric contests as hockey hold little interest for….

Fiorella: I’d love to see a hockey game.

Guy: Ah – yes, we accept your kind invitation.
