Strip 947 -- First Seen: 2012-05-03
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
Full shot of Pilgrim in his chair, the holoscreen before him.
Pilgrim: Let's charter a burner and move to the Belt where the anarchists have no taxes at all!
Panel 2
Focus on the holoscreen. The faces are all looking dubious.
Face 2: The Belt?
Face 4: That's waaaay out there, Pilgrim.
Face 5: Not sure I want to live in an anarchy. Sounds dangerous.

Panel 3
Focus on Pilgrim, now excited and gesturing with his hands.
Pilgrim: Are you guys listening to me?
Pilgrim: You want to be free of taxes, right?
Pilgrim: There. Are. No. Taxes. In. The. Belt!

Panel 4
Pilgrim and the screen full of faces (seen from behind). Pilgrim has a satisfied smile.
Face 2: Well, you've got a point there, Pilgrim.
Face 4: I have some friends who'd be interested in escaping taxes.
Face 6: Me too, sounds like heaven.
