Strip 485 -- First Seen: 2010-07-16
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

Panel 1
Back to the Brothers on Ida, elevated shot of them standing in the landing site of their shuttle, hands on hips, assessing their situation.

Bert: This was not a crime of opportunity.

Bert: Space is too big. We were followed.


Panel 2
Closer two-shot of Ernie and Bert.
Ernie: You know, a newbie Belter I didn't recognize asked me if we were going on a 'treasure hunt.'
Ernie: I said, 'No, where did you hear that?' But he wouldn't elaborate.

Panel 3
Another two-shot of the brothers, put Ernie on the left.
Ernie: Somewhere between our renting the mining equipment and gossipy speculation, somebody decided to follow us here and jump our claim.
Bert: And, oh yeah, kill us in the process.

Panel 4
Medium close-up on Bert.

Bert:They didn't kill us outright, but they might as well have.

Bert: Our suit recyclers can keep us alive for several days until we run out of power. Then we freeze to death.

Panel 5
Medium close-up on Ernie.

Ernie: Then they just mosey on back here, step over our frozen corpses, drill out the mascon and abscond.

Ernie: They could even sell our ship to someone who doesn't ask too many questions.


Panel 6
Two-shot of the brothers, facing each other.

Bert: So what have we got going for us? I guess we could Tanglenet a distress call and hope someone can get here before ...

Ernie: Uh, Bert? You left your comm in the shuttle's console.

Panel 7
Another two-shot

Bert: Oh yeah, you're right. So where's yours?

Ernie: Um …

Panel 8
Medium close-up on Ernie, patting his right chest with his hand.

Ernie: Right here, in my vest pocket, inside my suit.

Ernie: It might as well be on Pluto.
