Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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!

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Strip 35
Panel 1
Larger panel, leave room for EFT logo.
G, F, B and E step from a six-wheeled vehicle (a more elaborate version of Babbette’s golf cart) next to a large airlock-door, flanked by two signs. The left one reads:

King's Court
Adjudication Services

The right-hand side one reads:

Karaoke Church of Universal Faith
(non-denominational)


Bert: Here we are, the King’s Court.

Fiorella: So your King is also your high priest?

Ernie: Only on Saturday nights.

Panel 2
Inside, in an anteroom, they meet Babbette the younger. Only instead of her Agent hat she’s wearing a frilly pink dress with a matching ribbon in her hair.

Guy: Well, well, our cab driver.

Guy (2): So are you related to the Babbette Guzmán at the boarding house?

Babbette: No duh.


Panel 3
Close shot of Babbette, looking a bit contrite as she catches herself.

Babbette: I mean, yes sir, she is my grandmother.

Babbette (2): May I see your business cards, please?


Panel 4
Close two-shot of Guy whispering to Fiorella

Guy: Sneaky little cappy* probably gets a kickback for every one she suckers in.

Caption: * Derogatory word for ‘capitalist.’

Panel 5
Babbette ushering G, F, B and E down a hallway.

Babbette: This way, please.

Panel 6
The group, led by Babbette, stands at the entryway of a large room with a vaulted ceiling, which looks as though it could be a chapel or a courtroom (in fact, it’s both). A walkway proceeds between rows of benches towards an unlit dais.

Babbette: Presenting Special Agents Guy Caillard and Fiorella Stellina, of the United World Revenue Agency, United World, Terra, and His Majesty’s loyal subjects, Robert and Ernesto Guzmán.

Panel 7
Now we’re looking at Babbette standing before an unlit dais. We see one or two of her procession standing at the left. She holds her left arm out towards the dais.

Babbette: Good sirs, His Royal Majesty, Reginald the First, King of Ceres and Protector of the Minor Planets.

Panel 8
Suddenly the dais is lit, and we see King Reginald, who is in fact the Reverend Reggie King. He is wearing a crown that looks like King Arthur’s, and a 19th Century British naval uniform as worn by Sir Joseph Porter from the Gilbert and Sullivan musical 'HMS Pinafore.' Also add some pieces from ancient Spartan costumes (from 'Lysistrata') to make the ensemble look more bizarrely exotic.

No dialog.
