Strip 224 -- First Seen: 2009-07-23
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
Another illustrative panel. A 20-years-younger Tobi, this time dressed in cargo pants and a [pizza stained] t-shirt under a loose, open-fronted hoodie, is in the left side of the frame, closing a knife-type switch mounted on a wall which is positioned in the middle of the panel. On the right is a great tangle of white looping lines against a dark background that has stars in it – a sort of stylistic representation of Tanglenet. [Let's make sure the reader understands this a stylized concept. Maybe the Tanglenet concept is shown in a thought bubble above Tobi.]
Tobi (OP): Tanglenet was one of the most disruptive technologies in human history, because it fulfilled the Internet's promise.

Panel 2
A darkened conference room full of powerful-looking people seated at a long table, with one of them at the end pointing at some graphs on a large (51” diagonal) HDTV display.
Tobi (OP): Forget the phone, television or the Internet. The Tanglenet hurt governments way more.

Panel 3
Silhouettes of two men, facing each other, talking on their cellphones. Outline the phones so we can see them. One of the silhouettes is wearing a short-brimmed fedora. The other one is wearing a turban.

Tobi: Tanglenet cannot be eavesdropped on, traced, or jammed.

Tobi (2): Any dissident group, rebels, smugglers, or even terrorists can communicate, share info and make plans in complete secrecy.


Panel 4
Back at Tobi's table, medium shot of Tobi sipping on his tea.
Tobi: Imagine what fears that put in the hearts of repressive governments everywhere.
