Strip 794 -- First Seen: 2011-09-20
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
Still standing on the observation deck: James, Reggie and Babbette.
Babbette: 'Below Stairs Tattler?'
James: It's an ezine published in Sunnyvale. Everybody on Mercury reads it. Best source of inside info and scandals of the rich and famous on and off Mercury.

Panel 2
Close-up on James. He's such a gabby fellow.
James: Of course most of the information in it comes from PSPs.
James: Maids, butlers, and cooks excel in being 'invisible' – it's part of their job to blend in with the furniture.
James: Man, they see and hear it all.

Panel 3
The three react to the 'All Aboard' signal.
Amplified voice: All Aboard for Airship H-82! All Aboard!
Reggie: That's us.

Panel 4
James leads the way to the H-82 entry. Reggie and Babbette follow, exchanging glances while smiling.
James: If you'll please follow me I'll take you straight to boarding.
