Strip 788 -- First Seen: 2011-09-12
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
Reggie and Babbette stand inside the entrance to their suite. Their suitcases stand around them. Behind them, Miller is exiting with the trundle. We see much of the suite – it looks pretty high-class but not as outsized as their King's Suite on the Delta Free.
Babbette: Ninety-ninth floor. Pretty swank, sire!
Reggie: Only the best for my queen.
Babbette: The best is just under the royals and cost ten times as much as this suite.
Panel 2
Close two-shot of Babbette and Reggie. Reggie is looking disappointed, that he has under-performed. She looking away and isn't noticing yet.
Babbette: Even at one-fifth its normal tariff, you'd have had to hock the Delta Free to pay for it.

Panel 3
Now Babbette is looking at Reggie, and is cooing at him to smooth his hurt feelings. Reggie smiles and looks knowingly in her direction – he knows of no such aversion.
Babbette: But I much prefer this room.
Babbette: You know how I hate triple-digit floor numbers.
