Strip 736 -- First Seen: 2011-06-30
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
Wide shot of some of the teens rigging their hammocks. In the foreground, silhouetted, we see an arm extending from the side of each panel, clasping hands. The arms belong to Ernie and Lili.
Caption: Bunking the kids in the common area was Lili's idea.
Caption: She told Ernie she knew about boys and girls.

Panel 2
Smallish panel, close 2-shot of Ernie and Lili, looking sideways at each other with knowing smiles. (Ernie can be standing behind Lili and a bit to one side, to get them close in the frame.)
Caption: Lili and Ernie, however, snuggled up in the Captain's cabin.

Panel 3
Wide shot of the captain's cabin. Lily is laying supine on the bed, propped up on her elbows, looking coquettish. Ernie is pulling off his clothes as fast as he can.
Caption: Rank hath its privileges.
Caption: Lili took the opportunity, once again, to demonstrate to Ernie her knowledge about boys and girls.
Caption: It happened every time they got together.
Caption: Different life choices didn't allow Ernie and Lili to live together, but the attraction was always there – always like the first time.
