Strip 829 -- First Seen: 2011-11-21
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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!

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Reggie and Babbette seated side-by side in a windowless, cylindrical train car. We can see rows of high-backed double-seats behind them, also with passengers. They are being pushed back uncomfortably in their seats by strong acceleration.
Caption: The tube train to the South Pole was uneventful. They endured several seconds of uncomfortable acceleration at the beginning ...
Panel 2
A sort of schematic drawing of the tube train route, not to scale. We see a cut-away hemisphere of Mercury – the North Pole on the left and the South Pole on the right, and a tunnel a few hundred meters (in scale) under the surface, following the curve of the planet, thorough which the train zooms. The train is now nearing the South Pole station.
Caption: … and near the end, their seats were reversed and they endured several more seconds of high acceleration. And then they were there.
Caption: (Note: not to scale)
Panel 3
Wide panel, showing the panorama of the Chao Meng-Fu crater with its lake. We can't see the far end of the lake or the crater wall, or the crater's central islands. Just lake, with some of the crater walls on the sides disappearing into the distance. Above, Terra-like sky with fluffy blue clouds. A few boats on the lake, a few flying machines in the sky (both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air). In the center, we see Babbette and Reggie from behind, taking it all in.
Caption: When they emerged from the station, Chao Meng-Fu crater and lake presented themselves in full glory.
Babbette: This place makes me homesick for Terra. It's beautiful.
