Strip 857 -- First Seen: 2011-12-29
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
Medium shot of Bert speaking on his comm to Tobi.
Tobi (filtered): Waitaminute. Wouldn't Nowra's calls be monitored?
Bert: Sure they were. But he figured a way around that.

Panel 2
Nowra standing in front of a desk, facing a grumpy-looking male bureaucrat. Nowra is gesturing with his arms, pleading his case.
Caption (Bert): 'They were told to speak in English, but Nowra got permission to speak to his grandmother in Bunuba, because that was supposedly the only language she spoke.
Caption: 'Not true, but the government bought it.'

Panel 3
Shot of a lumpish-looking female bureaucrat at a console, listening intently to something on a head-set while making notes on a paper notepad. She's looking unhappy. The grumpy male bureaucrat from the preceding panel is standing behind her, looking over her shoulder.
Caption (Bert): 'Their project lunguist had very little knowledge of the language.
Caption: 'Plus, Nowra and granny salted their calls with so many idioms, slang terms and family language, the listeners were totally lost.'

Panel 4
Closer-in shot of the female bureaucrat, still with the headset on, but her expression is one of defeat.
Caption (Bert): 'Not wanting to admit failure to her superiors, the linguist mostly pretended to listen after the first few calls.'
