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!

Strip 32

Panel 1
Looking past G and F at B and E

Guy: Back on Terra, there is a great deal of confusion as to the nature of Ceres' government.

Ernie: It’s really quite simple.

Bert: Ceres is governed by a monarch.

Ernie: King Reginald the First.

Panel 2
Looking past B and E at G and F, both looking surprised.

Guy: A monarchy! In this day and age.

Fiorella: How, er, was this monarchy established?

Panel 3
G and F on the left, B and E on the right.

Bert: Well, this was a little before our time, but

Ernie: When the first settlers came to establish themselves on Ceres, they found Reginald already here.


Panel 4

Same shot. G and F are looking at each other.

Bert: He said ‘I’m Reginald, and I was here first.’

Ernie: So everyone called him Reginald the First, and he’s been King ever since.
