Strip 594 -- First Seen: 2010-12-16
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
Morris is now surrounded by patrons, Larry almost directly in front of him. He's not getting another shot at Suki. He angrily jabs a finger past Larry towards Suki (we see the back of her head in the right corner).
Morris: Yeah, fag?
Morris: You bust my nose with one lucky kick and you think you're better than me?
Larry: That was no lucky kick.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Morris and Larry. Larry is in Morris' face.
Larry: Suki may be a 'ladyboy,' – the Thai word is 'Kathoey' – but Suki's also a retired Muay Thai fighter, a Thai Kick boxer.
Larry: We intervened to keep Suki from kicking your ass!

Panel 3
Morris has his mouth open as if to speak, but Larry cuts him off, with an upraised finger.
Larry: I am barring you from the Iron Rock.
Larry: And after I get off the comm, no place in the Belt is going to let you in the door.

Panel 4
Larry turns to Suki, who has resumed 'her' feminine pose.
Larry: You want to bring this thug to arbitration?
Suki: No, that is not necessary. This man is the author of his own karma.
