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
Pull back from the last frame. Now Babbette the Younger is standing on the other side of Guy from where Emily is sitting. B’s hands are on her hips in a sassy pose.

Babbette: Heart’s desire? What do you know about that?

Babbette (2): You’ve never even had a boyfriend!

Panel 2
Now Emily is on her feet. She and Babbette are arguing at one another over Guy’s head. Guy just rolls his eyes.

Emily: I do so have a boyfriend!

Babbette: Yeah? Who’s that?

Emily: Larry Goldberg, smarty-pants!

Babbette: Larry Goldberg doesn’t even know you exist!

Panel 3
Close in on the three of them, Emily and Babbette yelling through clenched teeth at each other, while Guy looks trapped between them.


Emily: What do you know? You’re barely six!*

Babbette: I’m six-and-a-HALF!

Emily: Not for another 5 decasols!

Caption box: * Martian years.

Panel 4
Pull back now to show that Babbette the Elder in the scene. She is looking sternly at the girls.

B the elder: And I’m 39, so I out-rank both o’ ya.

B the elder: Now, get back to work.
