Strip 527 -- First Seen: 2010-09-14
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

Panel 1
Inset into a larger Panel 2, Babbette begins narrating the story:
Babbette: Well, you know the Merchant's Association decided to do something about that dang mugger ...

Panel 2
Babbette, using something that looks like a Wii remote, is setting up a holographic sign on the front of the Water Bros. Cafe. The sign reads: REWARD / 100 Gold Grams / For information leading to apprehension and judgment against the SpacePort Mugger. / See the Mgt.
Vinnie is standing beside her.
Vinnie: I still think 100 grams is too much.
Babbette: It may not be enough.

Panel 3
Wally Cooper is now looking carefully at the holo-sign. A tough-guy type miner is passing by, chiding him.
Tough guy: Hey kid, think you're ready to take on a grown man?

Panel 4
Medium close-up on Wally. His eyes are narrow and his jaw is set.
Wally: Only one way to find out.
