Strip 213 -- First Seen: 2009-07-08
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
Three-shot of the brothers and Tobi. We are looking past the brothers towards Tobi. The brothers are looking at each other (so we see their profiles) with perplexed expressions. Tobi just stands there looking at them awkwardly.
The brothers: ?

Panel 2
Close-up of Tobi, removing his sunglasses and smiling sheepishly.
Tobi: I guess you've only seen pictures of me in business suits, right?

Panel 3
Now we're looking past Tobi, who is in the foreground right, towards the brothers in the middle-ground left. Bert is just looking stunned, while Ernie is starting to execute a deep, Japanese-style bow.

Ernie: Forgive us, Kobayashi-sama, we did not recognize you.


Panel 4
Swivel around a bit so we see the brothers and Tobi from the side – brothers on the left, Tobi on the right, Drenkowski facing us and standing closer to Tobi. Tobi is now holding his arms up, palms forward, in a cease-and-desist gesture.
Tobi: Hey, hey, hey! Stop that! I hate that stuff!

Tobi (2): I'm just a geeky surfer dude from Hawaii.
