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
Guy is riding in Babbette the Younger’s cab, enroute to the King’s Court.

Guy: I must say, despite the disappointment with Fiorella, I’ve had an enjoyable time here.

Babbette: Oh, yes?

Panel 2
Close-up on Guy, a look of dreamy remembrance on his face. Leave extra space for dialog.

Guy: People here do things that are … real.

Guy (2): Reminds me of my childhood summers, on my grandfather’s farm in France. I collected eggs, fed the animals, tended the garden…

Guy (3): I could also swim in the sea, explore the woods, and ride a horse.


Panel 3
Pull camera back to bring Babbette back into the frame. She seems moved by his story.
[I like this. It helps set us up for WAR.]
Guy: I fantasized of being a pirate, or better yet, a cowboy.

Guy (2): Sadly, it all ended when the farm was collectivized and I was put into an accounting school.


Panel 4
The cab pulls up in front of the King’s Court.

Babbette: But isn’t that what you plan to do with Ceres, collectivize us?

Guy: Now-now, it’s all really for your benefit.
