Strip 473 -- First Seen: 2010-06-30
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!

Panel 2
Swing the camera bit so we now see Babbette the Elder, who has arrived while Robyn was telling her story.

Babbette the Elder: Hon, if ya need some money, all ya gotta do is ask someone for a job. We've got plenty o' work to do.

Panel 3
Now we're looking across the both from the wall, into the cafe area. Several people in the crowd rush the table, all wanting to talk to Robyn.

Person 1: I need someone to distribute flyers for my repair shop.

Person 2 (woman laying some coins on the booth table): Here ya go, dear, pay me back when you get back on your feet.

Person 3: Can you teach that Kendo to my kids?

Person 4: I could use someone with hydroponics experience at my grow center.

Panel 4
Small panel, close-up on Robyn, who is surprised by all this attention.
