Strip 596 -- First Seen: 2010-12-20
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
Scene: living room of the apartment shared by Lawrence and Kinko at the NoPoTo #2. At some point show an open window with the distant Sun showing just above the horizon. Lawrence and Kinko are sitting on a sofa (with at least a two-foot gap between them), Lawrence at Kinko's right. Merry Petzger is standing in front of them in a school-marmish pose.
Merry: So you two don't have any idea where Morris went?
Lawrence: Uh, no.
Kinko: Huh-uh.
Panel 2
Looking over Merry's shoulder down at the two men. They look alarmed.
Merry: You should know that if he doesn't pay off his share, you will have to add that on to yours.
Kinko: But Merry, it's not our fault he split! Why should we take on his debt?
Panel 3
Focus on Merry, emphasizing her point with an upraised finger.
Merry: Because Sv Rosenberg told us at the beginning, if we lost the arbitration, you all would be jointly and severally liable for the entire debt.
Panel 4
Three-shot of Merry and the men. The men look at her blankly. Merry presses her fingers against her forehead as if she has a headache.
Kinko: Huh?
