Strip 831 -- First Seen: 2011-11-23
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
Inside the office of Frank Martin, editor and publisher of the Below Stairs Tattler. There is a medium-sized desk, atop which sits a 56cm-diagonal holoscreen and keyboard, a loose stack of folders, some brick-a-brack, a hand-held T-comm. The wall behind is festooned with framed photographs of all kinds, mostly with people, a few with a sailboat or a dirigible. Somewhere there's a wide frame featuring the logo for the Below Stairs Tattler blog. A filing cabinet to one side. A bookshelf on another. A pair of simple chairs in front of the desk, facing it. Frank Martin rises from his desk and greets the camera.
Frank: Hi, I'm Frank Martin, editor and publisher of the Tattler.
Frank: How may I help you?
Panel 2
Side 3-shot of Babbette and Reggie offering their hands to Frank. (Put Frank on the left)
Reggie: Nice to meet you, Sv Martin. We're Waldo and Wenda Juárez, from Mars.

Panel 3
Same shot, Martin is shaking Reggie's hand but making a wry face.
No dialog.

Panel 4
Same shot, Martin is having his 'ah-ha!' moment. Babbette is staring daggers at Reggie, who is smiling just a bit sheepishly.
Frank: {Snort} Good one!
Reggie: Uh, we'd appreciate it if you kept that to yourself, okay?
