Strip 865 -- First Seen: 2012-01-10
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
High-angle shot: Tobi has walked past Mac and Nisa and is more or less in the middle of the group, and pointing to his head with one hand.
Tobi: It's a little safety feature I set up.
Tobi: I have a gram of plastique implanted in my brain.

Panel 2
Focus on Tobit still talking, we can see Mac and Nisa behind him.
Tobi: Seven people – including Mac and Nisa – have detonators.
Tobi: If any four of the seven push their buttons, the signal will be sent by tanglenet and my head will explode.

Panel 3
Looking past Tobi at an angle taking in Drenkowsky, Arana, Bert and Ernie. Drenkowski looks at Tobi with a poker face, the other three with mouth-agape stares.
No dialog.

Panel 4
Same shot, although now Ernie is speaking and Arana and Bert have turned to look at him.
Ernie: And you did this … why?
