Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

Strip 58

Panel 1
The game is over. Ice Hammers won 3-2. We’re looking at Guzman’s yacht from the outside, with the “viewing box” section leveling out and retracting back into the main body of the yacht. Let’s do this from a mostly fore-and-aft high angle so we can make this a tall panel, but the reader can clearly see what’s happening with the “box.”

Ernie (from inside the yacht): And our team racks up another win. But we’ve a ways to go up the ladder yet until we know if we’re in the championships.

Panel 2
Inside the “viewing box” which has now been transformed into a passenger cabin with Ernie piloting from a holographic control interface projected in front of him (ghost readouts, ghost joystick. Everyone has pivoted leftward so now Ernie is in the forward right position, B forward left, G and F in the rear.

Babbette: So how didja like your first Cererean hokey game, Agent Caillard?

Guy: The low-gravity aerio-batics give it a very different flavor from the game on Terra.

Guy (2): I must say that despite the brutishness I was very drawn in to the drama of the contest.

Panel 3
Outside view of Ernie’s yacht trundling towards a looping section of tunnel, built half into the side of a 4-meter tall ice cliff, with a dozen airlocks studded arouund. It looks a little bit like an airline terminal, with some of the locks having other yachts attached to them like airliners attached to air terminal boarding gates.

Guy (continues, from inside the yacht): And experiencing the drama in the company of friends adds a very pleasurable dimension to the experience.

Babbette: So you’re sayin’ you liked it?

Guy: Yes, Babbette, I liked it.
