Strip 511 -- First Seen: 2010-08-23
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
Distance shot, side view of Bert hurtling towards a rocky out-cropping on Dactyl. He's waving his arms around, fighting to keep himself oriented face-down.
 
Bert: Unh! Unh!
 
Panel 2
Closer shot. Bert hits the rocks fairly hard, but also grabs onto them so he doesn't bounce back into space.
 
Bert: Whuff!
 
Panel 3
Medium close-up of Bert, looking upward.

Bert: Ernie -?

Panel 4
Looking past the back of Bert's head: Ernie is clinging by one arm to a brace on the end of the Mass Driver, which is now 45 meters distant and tumbling slowly away from Dactyl (equal and opposite reaction, remember?) Ernie is waving back at Bert with his free hand.
Ernie: Sorry, not Elvis.
