Strip 636 -- First Seen: 2011-02-14
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
In the plaza near the Hôtel de Crillon. In the background, we see some UW soldiers at the outdoor cafe. In the foreground, a very drunk young Cererean swaggers into the middle of the plaza.
No dialog.

Panel 2
The young drunk drops trousers and moons the soldiers. They take notice, and one of them shouts at the drunk.
Soldier: Knock it off, faggot!

Panel 3
The drunk, hitching up his pants, turns to bellow a drunken challenge. The soldier who had shouted starts to rise out of his seat, but his buddies reach out to stop him.
Drunk kid: Why don't you come over here and make me?

Panel 4
Truck the camera back, now we're in the Chez Treif, where Ed and Bert have been watching the scene. We can see the drunk kid swaggering away unmolested, although the hotel cafe are a bit too far away to see clearly. Ed looks ruefully at Bert.
Ed: Next time, his buddies may not stop him, or they might even join in.
