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
Two-shot of Reggie and Guy. Reggie is handing a a paper document with fancy lettering.

Reggie: I do have a suggestion that will work for all of us. You go back and tell your bosses we ain’t got squat.

Reggie (2): We will agree to drop our 80 billion Continental claim in exchange for UW’s agreement not to bother us.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Guy, looking at the new document, a look of total defeat on his face.

Reggie (out of frame): Just have them sign this Treaty of Mutual Indifference and we’ll call it even.

Panel 3
Very narrow panel – Reggie is looking at Guy with an expression of sympathy.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Looking at Reggie over Guy’s shoulder. Guy is still slumped in defeat. Reggie is the soul of compassion.

Reggie: You know, Guy, I hear that when you get that broomstick out of your but, your’re an okay – er, guy. And maybe you have a little bit of the planetoid cowboy in your soul.

Panel 5
Looking at Guy over Reggie’s shoulder. Guy is brightening a little in response to Reggie’s suggestion.

Reggie: The Kingdom of Ceres could use a – ah – Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Reggie (2): After you report back to Terra, and wind up your affairs, you could return here – the job is yours if you want it.
