Strip 751 -- First Seen: 2011-07-21
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
Large panel, showing the city's 'Central Park,' which looks a lot like New York City's Central Park, with various types of trees, shrubbery, birds, squirrels, etc. The natural beauty is overwhelming. We can see a several people strolling about, walking dogs, having picnics. Reggie and Babbette are standing over at the lower-right 'rule of thirds' vertex, looking about them in hushed reverie.
Caption: Central Park was one of Venusville's favorite attraction for Reggie and Babbette – ironically, due to its similarity to Terra.
Caption: There were similar parks on the other worlds, but none of them could magically transport one back to Terra. The trees would be strangely drawn upwards and one felt too damned light.
Caption: But Venus' 0.9 gee, combined with the smell of hibiscus and other Earthly scents, made Reggie and Babbette homesick for the big blue ball they left behind so many years before. On the first visit, they were hushed into a silent, heart-aching reverie.
Caption: Afterward, they spent at least some part of each day strolling in this park.
