Strip 314 -- First Seen: 2009-11-26
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
Emily and Babbette still at the cashier station. Emily is asking a question but is a bit shy about it.

Emily: Um, by the way, I've need to ask you, uh ...

Emily: Something's come up. Can I take off early this evening?

Panel 2
Babbette looks a bit flustered. She wants to be accommodating but has a problem. Just as she speaks, Babbette the Younger walks up from the right.

B. Elder: Er, well, the dinner rush starts in six centimes and I kind of need you here ...

B. Younger: Got it covered, mi abuelita.

Panel 3
Pull back several meters. We still see Emily and the two Babbettes at the Cashier stand in the background. In the foreground, we see an older teenaged boy, a bit gangly and with curly black hair, standing in a waiting posture facing the trio.
B Elder: But what's the ….

B Elder: Ah, I see. Hello, Lawrence.

Panel 4
Same camera angle. Now Emily (sans waitress apron) is walking off with the boy, close but not touching, but looking at each other with puppy-love eyes. Both the Babbettes look pleased.
B Elder: You're a good friend, Babbette.
B Younger: Yeah, I know.
