Strip 716 -- First Seen: 2011-06-02
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!

Panel 2
The smallest boy in the group speaks up.
Smallest boy: Angry?
Todd: No, that's how the Yanks use it. In Britain, it means 'drunk.'

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Jim, now reaching into the ruck-sack that had been at his feet.
Jim: We are going to clean up the area near the spaceport, where all the dirty, drunken layabouts breath the city's air for free and foul the tunnels.
Jim: So, you have to get pissed off and piss on the pissed bums.

Panel 4
Jim holds up a six-pack of soda cans, held together by the plastic neck-rings. The boys we can see in the frame are all grinning.
Jim: And just to make sure you have enough ammunition for this battle ...
