Strip 442 -- First Seen: 2010-05-18
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

Robyn and Sajjan saunter away from the tray-disposal area.

Sajjan: How come no praying when you were a kid?

Robyn: Mom's a fallen-away Hindu, not religious at all, though she still observes some of the cultural stuff.

Panel 2
The two pause to converse, some of the other inmates can be seen milling around them, generally in the same direction (towards the mess hall exit).

Robyn: Dad is from New Zealand.

Robyn: His parents brought him up in the Unitarian Church which is basically 'Religion Lite.'

Panel 3
Robyn smiles and taps Sajjan on his belly with the back of her hand, in a 'hey, get this' gesture.

Robyn: Hey Sajjan, do you know how a Unitarian prayer begins?

Robyn: 'To whom it may concern ...'

Panel 4
Pull back a bit. Robyn and Sajjan are both laughing. Behind them is a Barney Fife-like Yard Guard, who is annoyed but also clearly intimidated by Sajjan.

Robyn and Sajjan (together): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yard Guard: All right, all right, keep moving you two … uh, please?
