Strip 607 -- First Seen: 2011-01-04
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
Ed lays Rhonda's hand back in her lap.
Ed: Then you are free to answer him in kind.
Ed: Call him an hijo de puta, or whatever.

Panel 2
Looking past Ed at Rhonda, Carlos can be seen the other side of Rhonda, glaring at Ed.
Ed: If you don't like someone's words, you are free to use words of your own, but just words.
Ed: Nothing physical.

Panel 3
Rhonda and Ed in the foreground, we can see the other three 'canaries' in the background, starting to get up from their table.
Rhonda: You grabbed me; that's physical.

Panel 4
Similar shot, the three men are moving towards Ed. He remains calm.
Ed: Self-defense or defense of another, is not the initiation of force.
Ed: You might want to explain that to your friends, there.
