Strip 572 -- First Seen: 2010-11-16
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
Full-length shot of Young Babbette standing on the dais, front and center. We see the backs and shoulders of several guests turned to face her. Over to the right we can see Ernie, in a rear ¾ view.
Babbette looks nervous as she speaks, looking towards Ernie..

Babbette: Daddy-E, this is my confession.
Babbette: I did something for which I was very ashamed.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Babbette. She is struggling not to cry as she continues.
Babbette: Over time, I stole money from your dresser.
Babbette: I stole a lot of money.

Panel 3
Switch views to show part of the assembled guests. In the middle of the shot we see Reggie and Babbette the Elder. Reggie is looking on approvingly, BtE looks mildly surprised.
Babbete the Younger (OP): I have been working to earn enough to pay you back and ask for your forgiveness.

Panel 4
Two-shot of BtY and Ernie, who has stepped up next to the dais. Babbette is holding forth a handful of gold coins, about nine of them in various sizes (150 grams, or a bit less than 5 ounces' worth). Ernie's eyes go wide as he sees the coins.
Babbete the Younger : I'm not sure how much I stole, but this should cover it.
