Strip 923 -- First Seen: 2012-03-30
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
Terry and Leon still drinking coffee and conversing in the living room.
Leon: We have one bachelor, Señor Moisés Francisco Nassif Gonzalez.
Terry: Who? I never heard that name before.
Panel 2
Close-up of Leon, non-chalant..
Leon: Oh, he's our blackmailer.
Terry (OP): Blackmailer?!!
Panel 3
Portrait of Cisco, a slightly-overweight Lebanese and Cuban mix, bearded with curly hair and light eyes.
Leon (Narrating): Yeah, 'Cisco' is sort of an interesting guy. His father was Lebanese and moved to Colombia when Lebanon was self-destructing.
Leon (Narrating): There, he met and married Cisco's mom. Lebanese and Latin seems to be a good combination. After all, it gave us Salma Hayek and Shakira.
Panel 4
Small panel. Terry looking incredulous.
Terry: Blackmailer?
Panel 5
Leon sips his coffee.
Leon: Cisco's dad was a very successful businessman—real estate, communications, transportation, cattle, you name it.
Panel 6
A younger Cisco, thinner, standing next to a popular sports car with his arms around two bimbo-type women.
Leon (Narrating): At an early age, Cisco followed in his father's footsteps and became a very wealthy man in his own right. For years, he was a playboy and spent his money on boy's toys—yachts, race cars and high performance aircraft.
Panel 7
Leon speaks matter-of-factly. We can see Terry's face from the side, still looking incredulous and frustrated.
Leon: He's quite a talented pilot, by the way.
Terry: Blackmailer?
