Strip 286 -- First Seen: 2009-10-19
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
Reggie is now sitting at a desk in the control room, writing intently in his notebook. He's wearing a robe and, when we can see his feet, a pair of flip-flops (Ruby Slippers were gone.)

Caption: 'I thought of going back to bed, but I was sure if I did I'd just be awakened by some other nagging 'shadow puppet.''


Panel 2
The Martian music begins again. We see a wave of oddly-shaped musical notes in the air above Reggie's head. He glances up, annoyed by the interruption.

SFX: Musical notes



Panel 3
Reggie shouts at no one in particular. The music abruptly stops.

Reggie: How about we cut the mood music?

SFX: musical notes continue but are interupted by a sharp VRRRRP!


Panel 4
Reggie returns to writing his notes.

Reggie: Thank you, subconscious.
