Strip 362 -- First Seen: 2010-02-02
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
One large panel. It's a scene on The Moon, looking from ground level at an upward angle such that we can see the lunar horizon, and some distant mountains, in the lower background. In the left foreground is a 2-meter-high 'M' shape that looks suspiciously like MacDonald's golden arches. Close-by to the right but farther from our POV is another 'M,' this one eight meters tall. Behind and to one side are five more 'M's lined up in a staggered row, each shape larger than the one in front. The last one is 3 km tall. They should all have a soft gleam to them. Put a space-suited man near the first M to show scale, and use exaggerated perspective to get all this in the frame.

Arana is seen in a small inset frame, providing the narration.

Arana: 'Mysto' gained fame by convincing a self-styled 'patron of the arts' to bankroll his first extravaganza, 'Mysto's Multi-Mile Monument of Moon Madness and Mystery.

Arana: The yellow 'M's were made of very thin, but opaque, polymer sheets supported by delicate looking inflated carbon nanotube structures.

Arana: Art critics swooned. The masked Mysto was lionized as a 'super-genius.'
