Strip 108 -- First Seen: 2009-02-11
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
The bar at Callahan’s, seen from the bartender’s side. Mary the bartender is at station in the left of the frame, wiping a glass with her towel, while Fiorella is seated at the bar to the right of the frame, with a frozen margarita in front of her. In this panel leave some room between them for the dialog balloons.

Fiorella: Babbette is like a force of nature, and I am so indebted to her.

Fiorella (2): She found me a cheap room and staked me enough for food and Tanglenet to get myself situated.


Panel 2
Closer in on the two women. Mary may have moved a bit closer to Fiorella to stay in the frame, or you can try an angled shot. Fiorella is taking a sip of her drink.

Mary: She’ll lend the shirt off her back to someone she thinks deserves it. But don’t forget to pay back the stake.


Panel 3
Close in shot on Fiorella.

Fiorella: I think I’m going to take a contract on a prospecting tour. Not just for the percentage, although that looks very good …

Fiorella (2): But I want to get a way from the hustle and bustle of the city.


Panel 4
Wide a shot as you can make it. To the left is Mary, Fiorella is in the middle, and to the right are a clump of five male bar regulars who are eying Fiorella with obvious lustful anticipation. The women are looking back at the men with that cool “don’t fuck with me” look.

Mary: I know what you mean
