Strip 155 -- First Seen: 2009-04-17
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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!

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Reggie in the cargo bay. He has raised his left hand to reveal a fist closed around a small box.

Reggie: Gentlemen, please notice the device in my left hand.

Reggie (2): It is called a 'deadman's' switch.

Panel 2
The cockpit of the shuttle. How we see the crewmen from the front, they are looking at their monitor screen with full attention.

Reggie (filtered): If I don't keep it squeezed tightly in my hand, it will activate.

Reggie (2): If you shoot me, my hand will relax and the switch will close.
Panel 3
Same shot of the crewmen, now looking at each other with alarm.

Reggie (filtered): When that happens, the one-tenth kiloton nuke I am wearing, will detonate.

Panel 4
Close-up of Reggie, seen grinning an evil grin through his helmet visor.

Reggie: So it appears we have a bit of a 'Mexican standoff ' here. What do you propose?

Panel 5
On the bridge of the Gamma Conqueror, Admiral Harris is not pleased by what he hears the Comm Officer telling him.

Comm Officer: Sir, the shuttle advises that King Reginald has a small nuclear bomb with him, hooked to a deadman's switch.



Panel 6
Medium close-up of Harris, angrily barking his orders.
Harris: He's bluffing. Shoot him!

Panel 7
Two-shot of the two crewmen in their cockpit. They are still looking at each other, not moving, wide-eyed, beads of sweat on their faces.
Harris' voice (filtered): Shoot him!

GC Comm officer (filtered): Shuttle, please acknowledge.

Panel 8
Medium close up of Harris, enraged, teeth clenched, veins sticking out at his temples.

Harris: NNRRRGGGHH!!!
