Strip 229 -- First Seen: 2009-07-30
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
The brothers and Tobi at the table. Bert and Ernie on the left and Tobi on the right. Bert is leaning forward and talking

Bert: All that expense to develop these chimera foods and you're just going to give them away?

Tobi: Once they are ubiquitous, there is nothing any government can do to stop them from being grown.

Panel 2
Pulling in closer so now we just see Ernie and Tobi, who is waving one arm in a manner-of-fact gesture.
Tobi: A man whose family is starving isn't going to give a damn what the law says about what he may grow and eat.

Panel 3
Tobi leans back, clasps his hands behind his head with a look of satisfaction.

Tobi: Besides feeding the world, I have another disruptive technology in the works that will truly alter the course of history, forever.

Panel 4
Three-shot, the brothers look at one another skeptically as Tobi spreads his arms palms upward.

Tobi: Really!
