Strip 548 -- First Seen: 2010-10-13
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
Looking over Pablo's shoulder at Merry. We might see her three defendants seated behind her. Her posture is stern, almost but not quite defiance, her head held high.
Merry: Nevertheless, taking away their freedom without proof is wrong.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Pablo looking up at Merry with a touch of exasperation.
Pablo: Look Merry, attempted murder, theft, etc. are wrong too. Bert and Ernie felt sure enough about their actions to hold these guys.

Panel 3
Two-shot of Bert and Ernie, now squirming a bit in their seats.
Pablo (OP): If they are shown to have been in the wrong, I will stick them with an order to pay reparations: big reparations.

Panel 4
Cut back to Pablo, resting his elbows on his desk, still looking a touch exasperated.
Pablo: As you know, the Guzmán brothers posted the bond I required. Nobody objected or was willing to bond them out – including you.
Pablo: So can we get on with this?
