Strip 578 -- First Seen: 2010-11-24
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 still in bed together, but the warn afterglow is gone. Babbette has Reggie's complete attention. Babbette is looking into space, as if looking into the past at a memory.
Caption: Carlos Ernesto Guzmán was Babbette's deceased husband. At the mention of his name, Reggie's post-coital reverie evaporated.
Babbette: When Carlos was killed, I thought I just wanted to lie down and die.

Panel 2
Looking past Reggie at Babbette.
Babbette: Oh, I hung in there for the boys, but I felt like a zombie.
Babbette: I didn't take rejuv, because I didn't feel like there was anything to live for.

Panel 3
Two-shot, Babbette looking intensely into Reggie's eyes, her hand laid affectionately on his chest.
Babbette: Then you came along and changed all that.
Babbette: Now, for the first time in years, I feel like living again.
