Strip 701 -- First Seen: 2011-05-12
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
The lower level of the viewing area. There is no plexiglass window here, and we see penguins interacting with visitors. Libby is kneeling next to a chinstrap penguin, with some kibble in her outstretched palm, from which the penguin happily munches. Robyn has her camera out and is snapping Libby's photo, as Emily stands by next to Robyn. We can also see some other guests and penguins milling about.
Caption: The lower level of the viewing area was open so that guests could interact with the penguins.
Robyn: Say 'krill.'

Panel 2
Three-shot of Libby, Emily and Robyn, in a teen-girl huddle. Libby is looking mischievous, while the other two are looking doubtful.
Libby: Hey, I've got an idea. I want some action video.
Libby: I'm going out on that grass and you video me as the penguins fly over my head.

Panel 3
Emily attempts to play adult, and frowns disapprovingly at Libby. In the background, show the grassy isthmus with its sign. There is no barrier between the visitor area and that isthmus.
Emily: Can't you read, Action Girl? It says, 'Keep Off The Grass.'
Libby: So?
Robyn: We'll get into trouble!

Panel 4
Libby begins bounding towards the isthmus. Emily rolls her eyes, Robyn prepares her camera.
Libby: What I see is a suggestion, to which I say, 'no thank you.'
Libby: Get your camera ready, Robyn, you don't want to miss this.
