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 54

Panel 1
The very next instant after the last panel of the previous strip – but now the hokey player is bouncing off the netting that’s been rigged up around the rink

SFX: Byoing!


Panel 2
We follow the puck and player as they bounce off another net-wall, continuing a downward vector –they will hit the rink ice next.

Ernie: Anyway, since those early days hockey has always been played on the surface.

Panel 3
Wide panel, the puck bounces into the rink again, and the players converge on it, but the guy who was bouncing around after it has caught up and hits it for a pass to a team-member out of panel.

Fiorella (from inside view box): They’re still chasing the puck?

Ernie: Yeah, rules here are that if a puck bounces back onto the ice it’s still in play.

Guy: Do they get points for killing spectators?
