Strip 405 -- First Seen: 2010-03-26
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Halfway there!

The Kickstarter campaign to print the next volume of Quantum Vibe: Novo Palermo - Part 1 is now halfway to our goal. We need your help getting the rest of the way there. Tell your friends, family members, and your pets to back our campaign.

Every little bit helps! The campaign ends midnight (US central time) November 18. So there's still time to get the word out, or maybe add another item to your current pledge.

Your reward for backing our campaign starts with a personalized signed copy of the perfect bound printed collection of the online strip. You may also choose the ebook edition, a PDF downloadable from DriveThruComics.

And back by popular demand, coasters, magnets and stickers. Click on the art on the left, to go to our campaign page where you can back our campaign.

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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Still in their opposite corners of the alcove. Doris has picked up her wrap and is starting to put it back on.

Doris: Wow. I don't know what to say.

SFX: soft musical notes

Panel 2
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris, waist-up only. Fiorella is blushing as she looks affectionately at Doris.

Fiorella: I do. I kissed a girl and I liked it.

SFX: soft musical notes


Panel 3
Doris now has her wrap on, and Fiorella has found another one and is putting it on.

Doris: So, now what?

Fiorella: I have no idea. I guess we'll just have to see.


Panel 4
The two face one another, and Doris leans forward to give Fiorella a friends-only kiss on the forehead.

Doris: I think we better call a 'truce' until we've both had some time to reflect on this.

Doris: Until then, business as usual. Deal?



Panel 5
The two emerge from the alcove, heading for the exit. All smiles.

Fiorella: Deal. How about we head over to Thrill Land for a little vertigo and possible nausea?

Panel 6
Doris takes Fiorella by the hand as they launch themselves along a tether rope leading across an open area just outside the Big Drop area.

Doris: Works for me!

Panel 7
We see the girls emerge from the Spa through one of the whiffle-holes, still pulling themselves along the tether.
Voice (OP): Hello, ladies.

Panel 8
Looking from behind the girls, who have just turned to confront five men in space navy uniforms, standing on a 'flying carpet' with First Officer William Darling in the center, who grins an evil grin..
Darling: I guess I've caught you with your pants … off.
