Strip 790 -- First Seen: 2011-09-14
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
Tall, skinny panel. Reggie has Babbette by the hand, they're strolling fairly briskly along a corridor.
Reggie: Hey, wanna go ride in a blimp?
Babbette: What, again?

Panel 2
Very large panel. Exterior, elevated view of the Burj's 190th floor observation deck, near the top of the tower. Babbette and Reggie can barely be seen as two small dots on the deck. There are three mooring spots for airships, and one such berths has an occupant – an 82-meter dirigible. It is a 1/3-scale replica of the Hindenburg.
Somewhere on the fuselage are the large letters 'H-82'. Instead of swastikas on its fins, it is emblazoned with a stylized image of the Roman god Mercury, complete with winged hat, shoes, and caduceus, superimposed on the astronomical symbol for Mercury.

Babbette (whispers): Hey, Reggie, it's not a blimp, it's a Zeppelin! Cool!
Reggie: Only the best for my queen.
