Strip 566 -- First Seen: 2010-11-08
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
Reggie and Babbette the Younger are sitting at the table. Babbette has her face scrunched up in that way a child registers confusion.
Babbette: 'Mensch?'
Reggie: It's a Yiddish word that nominally means 'a man' but it's a unisex way of saying a decent, upright, mature and responsible person.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Reggie, doing his best Mister Rogers impression.
Reggie: In other words, an adult.
Reggie: Someone who takes responsibility for the consequences of his or her acts.
Reggie: No matter how old you are, you are an adult when you can do that.

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Babbette, looking at Reggie as he speaks. Clearly what he's saying is sinking in.
Reggie (OP): And it's never too soon to start.
Reggie (OP): Every day, your actions are creating the person you will become.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Reggie and Babbette, closing out this scene. Both are smiling.
Babbette: I guess it's like Daddy-B says, 'The Child is the Father of the Man.'
Babbette: Wordsworth?
Reggie: Yes, Wordsworth.
