Strip 982 -- First Seen: 2012-06-21
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
Large panel, illustrating Emily's grand procession.
Atop a pygmy mammoth—a meter and a half at the shoulder—rides Emily, dressed as a cartoon cave woman. She is flanked by Robyn and Libby each atop a miniature elephant—one African, one Asian. The girls wear what they considered to be culturally appropriate costumes. And on the head of each girl, rests a beautiful giant—half-meter leg spread—Mexican red-knee tarantula. The girls are waving.
Behind the girls come a dozen or more boys Emily had hired to lead in midget lions and tigers and bears. There is also a full-sized moa and various other mammals, birds and reptiles. The boys are dressed in safari jodhpurs and pith helmets. At the very end of the precession saunter Bob Katz and Jeff, the bobcat.
Crowd: Cheering noises.
Panel 2
Somebody's pet crow brakes free.
Panel 3
The crow dives for Jeff.
