Strip 254 -- First Seen: 2009-09-03
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
Still at the elevator terminal. Tobi is handing Ernie some packets of seeds.

Tobi: You mentioned your mom likes to garden, growing some food for the family café.

Tobi: Please give her these as a personal gift from me.

Panel 2
Ernie is holding one packet up to look at it more closely while handing the others to Bert. There is some small printing on the package.
Tobi (to Ernie): That one is a genetic animal-plant chimera.

Tobi: Tell her to follow the directions on the back and very quickly she will have a lovely steak-fruit tree.

Panel 3
Now Bert is scrutinizing one of the packets.
Bert: And these are tomatoes? Are they special?

Tobi: Well, yeah, they taste real good.

Panel 4
Tobi smiles at the Brothers, shrugging with palms upwards, as they begin to laugh.

Tobi: Not everything I do has to be a chimera.

Tobi: Who do you think I am, Luther-bloody-Burbank?
