Strip 799 -- First Seen: 2011-10-10
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
In Guy's apartment, Pierre and Guy still seated and with their drinks. Pierre is now leaning forward, elbows on knees, looking defiantly at Guy. Guy is surprised by the accusation
Guy: What's the matter?
Pierre: This is all your fault, you know.
Pierre: You know the UW is in a financial crisis – even after issuing a lot more Continentals, which should have gotten the economy going again.
Panel 2
Pierre presses on.
Pierre: They still found it necessary to furlough many in the bureaucracy. I lost my position in the second round of cuts.
Pierre: I don't blame you personally, but you Belters continue jacking up the prices of all the raw materials we need!
Panel 3
Pierre sits straight up, delivering what he thinks is a important truth. Guy looks at him blankly.
Pierre: It just isn't fair.
Pierre: The bounty of space is the common heritage of all mankind!
Panel 4
Same shot, not Guy is breaking out into spasms of laughter. Now Pierre looks surprised.
Guy: HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW
