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

Strip 23

Panel 1
We get our first good look at the cashier, from Guy’s POV: Looking 60-ish, 168 cm tall, rail thin but with large breasts – she was probably a knock-out in her youth and still doesn’t look bad. Dark hair streaked with grey. She wears a name tag marked 'Babbette Guzmán' and a friendly smile.

Babbette: Hi sailors, new in town?

Panel 2
Looking over Babette’s shoulder at Guy. Fiorella has just reached the counter. Guy is looking confused. (For this sequence it may be best to have Babbette on the left side of the panels.)

Guy (murmers): Is everyone here named ‘Babbette Guzmán?’

Babbette (out loud): Beg pardon?

Panel 3
Three-shot of smiling Babbette, Guy, Fiorella.

Guy: Uh, yes, we’ve just arrived, but we’re not sailors.

Guy (2): We’re revenue agents for the UWRS.


Panel 4
Same shot, except Babbette’s smile has disappeared. Fiorella gives a sideways glance at Guy.

Guy: Er – can you rent us some rooms for the next week?
