Strip 633 -- First Seen: 2011-02-09
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
Scene is a bistro named Chez Trief. Bert is meeting with Ed Turner over lunch. They are sitting near a window which affords a view of the plaza. Bert is eating lobster with a side of sauteed grasshoppers; Ed is having rat stew with a side of coagulated pig's blood. Between them is a plate of deep fried meal worms.
Caption: Chez Trief, a bistro on the Place de la Concorde, only serves cuisine that was taboo in one culture or another.
Bert: So Ed, you see what's going on here, and you were in the middle of whatever it was that went down at the Iron Rock. Care to share any insights?

Panel 2
Looking over Bert's shoulder at Ed, who is spooning up a bite from his rat stew.
Ed: The UW has not forgotten us.
Ed: I'm sure you've been following their financial problems.

Panel 3
Switch view to looking over Ed's shoulder at Bert.
Bert: You mean the impending economic collapse?
Ed: Yeah, probably so.
