Strip 795 -- First Seen: 2011-09-21
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
At boarding, Babbette and Reggie find themselves in a queue of last-minute boarders. Reggie is doing something with his wrist-comm.
Babbette: What are you doing?
Reggie: I want to check out this Below Stairs Tattler ezine.

Panel 2
A holoscreen appears above Reggie's wrist-comm, there's something displayed but at this distance and angle we can't read it. Reggie reads silently.
A short man with narrow shoulders, a pencil-neck, and long-pointy nose has joined the queue behind Babbette and Reggie. He notices what's on Reggie's screen and looks annoyed.
Man: Oh, that pit of vipers. I just can't get away from it.
Babbette: Beg pardon?

Panel 3
Two-shot of the pointy-nose man and Babbette. We can barely see someone has come up behind the man.
Man: That so-called Tattler! They spread the most vicious lies!
Man: They don't care whose lives they ruin!

Panel 4
Three-shot of the man, Babbette, and Reggie. Babbette is leaning forward to peer intently at Reggie's holo-display. The man looks like he'd prefer to melt down into the floor.
Reggie: I gather you are the publicist for Prince Rupert here.
Man: Who told you?
Babbette: What the hell is 'yiffing?'
