Strip 688 -- First Seen: 2011-04-27
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
Ed is cheerfully confronting his increasingly confused Target. Ed is offering a friendly hand to the young man.
Ed: Oh, pardon my manners. My name is Ed Turner, what's yours?
Ed: I'm originally from Texas; you're from the States too, right?

Panel 2
The Target (Harvey) is still confused but sort of automatically returns the gesture and shakes Ed's hand.
Harvey: Uh … I'm Priv … I'm Harvey Milne.
Harvey: I-I'm from Oklahoma

Panel 3
Ed (grinning broadly) on one side of the frame, Harvey (still looking confused) on the other, and in the center background, a fuming Rhonda. Harvey is glancing over at Rhonda for guidance, but she only offers a stoney glare.
Ed: Oklahoma?
Ed: Texas, Oklahoma, same difference! We're practically neighbors!

Panel 4
Ed and Harvey. Ed is hamming it up and Harvey is winging it, badly.
Ed: So what brings you out to the Belt?
Harvey: Well, sir, I'm a, a tourist.
