Strip 766 -- First Seen: 2011-08-11
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
Reggie, Babbette and Harmon are now walking across the Novo Argo main deck (actually Babbette is bringing up the rear, climbing down the short forecastle steps).
Harmon: Thanks for saving our bacon, Reggie.
Reggie: Don't look at me, Dan.

Panel 2
Babbette has caught up to the men, and Reggie puts an arm around her shoulder.
Reggie: Cap'n Babbette is your savior.
Reggie: She acted before I even fully grasped the situation.

Panel 3
Now Reggie and Babbette are facing each other. A tender moment – Babbette's eyes are welling up with tears as she looks at her man. We can just see Harmon standing to one side.
Reggie: Babbette can be one tough mama bear when she needs to be.
Reggie: After all, she raised Bert and Ernie, didn't she?

Panel 4
Babbette is fiercely hugging Reggie, hanging on as if for dear life. Reggie returns the hug affectionately.
Caption: After their battle with 'Moby Dick,' the sobered couple avoided adventure for the rest of their days on Venus.
Caption: Almost dying reminded them just how good life can be.
