Strip 841 -- First Seen: 2011-12-07
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

Panel 1
Angled shot looking past Emily at Pablo.
Pablo: However, there are mitigating circumstances:
Pablo: One, Emily's assumption that Libby was being harmed by Anton, was reasonable.

Panel 2
Closer-in medium shot of Pablo, counting off on his fingers (he's on the third one in this instant).
Pablo: Two, her decision to shoot first and ask questions later was not reasonable.
Pablo: Three, her quick action in helping get Anton into the auto-medic, once she understood her error, is a point in her favor.

Panel 3
Close-up of Pablo, with a very slight smile.
Pablo: Before I give my decision, I have some obiter dicta – fancy legal Latin for an arbiter's opinions … no extra charge.

Panel 4
Looking past the back of Pablo's head at the audience, who are all just sitting quietly. (We might also see Emily to one side and/or Guy to the other, also just sitting quietly)
Pablo (thought): Well, so much for attempted legal humor.
