Strip 542 -- First Seen: 2010-10-05
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
Wally, his knife in hand, charges towards the Mugger. The Mugger stops his looting and turns to face him.
Wally: Hands off, dirt bag!

Panel 2
Wally thrusts his knife at the Mugger, but the Mugger blocks with his left forearm. Blood is drawn, but Wally is momentarily off-balance.
Wally: Huff!
Mugger: Gaaaa!

Panel 3
The Mugger swings a roundhouse right at Wally and connects, ringing Wally's bell.
SFX: WHONK!!

Panel 4
The enraged Mugger holds the dazed and helpless Wally aloft (actually his feet are touching the ground but his knees are bent awkwardly – he's not standing) with his injured arm and punches him repeatedly in the face with his right fist. The two teen-aged victims are starting to regain consciousness.
SFX: THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
