Strip 289 -- First Seen: 2009-10-22
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

Looking past Reggie at Joe, who is grinning, hands on hips.

Reggie: When you popped in, you said, 'that's obvious.' What's that supposed to mean?

Panel 2
Medium shot of Joe, gesticulating with one hand.
Joe: You wrote, 'So why all the theatrics.'

Joe: Well, isn't the answer obvious?

Panel 3
Medium shot of Reggie, looking thoughtful.
Reggie: Oh, yeah – I'm an actor; it's my nature.

Reggie: I guess there's no way to turn it off, is there?

Panel 4
Looking past Reggie at Joe, who is is smiling and shrugging, with palms upward.
Joe: Apparently not. So I think we just have to go with the flow.
Joe: It would seem the only way you can be honest with yourself, Reggie, is to let your subconscious take the blame.
