Strip 423 -- First Seen: 2010-04-21
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
Robyn, in a jail-type jumpsuit, is mopping a floor in an institutional-type office area (dingy walls, cheap furniture, linoleum floor). On Robyn's right, a female guard is playfully stroking Robyn's cheek. Robn glares back at her.

Caption (Robyn): 'While in the Youth Authority, a female correction officer came onto me. I told her to keep her hands to herself.'

Panel 2
Robyn rams the mop handle into the guard's nose. The guard's hand is on Robyn's ass.

Caption: 'When she touched me again, I … uh, well, I broke her nose with the mop handle.'

Panel 3
Back to the present, in the cafe booth. We're facing the wall at this point.

Babbette: Oh, so you have a history of breaking noses.

Emily: Shush! I want to hear this.


Panel 4
Switch angles, now we're viewing the scene from the wall. Beyond the booth, we see a half dozen people sitting or standing a short distance away, listening intently.

Robyn: When I was 10, my parents enrolled me in a Kendo dojo after a bullying incident in school.

Robyn: It paid off … sort of.
