Strip 814 -- First Seen: 2011-10-31
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
Tall, skinny panel. Exterior shot of the North Pole Towers, one fairly close, the other a few klicks in the distance. Shadows are very long
Caption: The duel was to take place at 'Sherwood Forest,' a tree farm located near the top of NoPoTo#1 (North Pole Tower Number 1).
Caption: The mag-lev train conveying Pierre and Guy was on time, and they arrived at the farm at exactly 2.50 VMT.

Panel 2
Wide panel. In the left foreground, Pierre and Guy stand before Anton Sherwood -- a very tall and stout fellow with bushy red hair, eyebrows and beard, who is greeting them. In the right background stand Henry, Suki, and Pablo Rosenberg. The scenery around them is mostly large (20 cm thick) and very tall bamboo, some shoot stretching up to 150 meters tall.
Anton: Greetings! I am Anton Sherwood and this is my Forest.
Pierre: Ah ... good day to you, sir.

Panel 3
Anton turns to walk towards the other party assembled, motioning for Guy and Pierre to follow. Pierre cups a hand to his face and whispers to his cousin.
Pierre (whispers): I half expected him to introduce himself as 'Little John.'
