Strip 785 -- First Seen: 2011-09-07
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

Strip 108
Panel 1
Guy's living room. His Ceres City apartment is spacious and well-appointed. Pierre is standing in the room with Guy, Pierre, a bit shorter than Guy and very slender, with a delicate air, is looking disdainful.
Pierre: So, this is your place?
Pierre: In Paris, I have a view of the Seine and the Tower Eiffel.
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot of Pierre and Guy. Pierre continues to yammer as Guy touches some buttons on a remote control device.
Pierre: What do you have? Just comm screens?
Panel 3
Guy's living room is transformed. The floor and furniture remain, in place of the walls and ceiling we have a 3-dimensional image of Paris at Sunset, as seen from light-pole height just across the Seine river from the famous Tower Eiffel. Pierre is momentarily non-plussed.

Guy: This is a realtime view taken from a tanglecam across the Seine from the Tower.
Guy: Is your view better than this?
Panel 4
Closer 2-shot of Pierre and Guy. Guy momentarily has the upper hand, and Pierre is looking burned.
Guy: I have visited your apartment in Paris. My humble abode here is three or four times the size of your place.
Guy: So, what is your point?
