Strip 331 -- First Seen: 2009-12-21
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
Establishing shot of Newsreader (male, make him a Ron Burgundy type character) at his newsdesk on the TNN news network. Over his shoulder (to our right) we see an image (from remote) of Professor Harmon. Put a TNN logo in the bottom right corner of this and all panels to follow in this 'newscast' sequence.

Newsreader: Joining us via T-remote to explain the meaning of these alien runes is Professor Harmon at Copernicus University on Luna.

Panel 2
Two-shot of the newsreader and Harmon.

Newsreader: We understand that you have translated the carvings inside the Head. Tell us, what do they say?


Panel 3
Cut to a full-screen shot of Harmon.

Harmon: Well, 'translated' is not exactly the right word.

Harmon: My conjecture is that the markings inside the eye of the Moai-like object are a road map to another object in the Belt.


Panel 4
Back to 2-shot of Newsreader and Harmon. The newsreader is wide-eyed with excitement.

Newsreader: What sort of object?

Harmon: The markings only indicate a location. I guess we'll have to see what it is when someone gets there.
