Strip 799 -- First Seen: 2011-10-10
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Hot Off The Press!

Hey gang! Good news. The books have arrived from the printer.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be working to get the books signed, and all other perks sorted, organized, and ready for shipping.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get ready to ship. And thanks again to all our donors and patrons who help keep Quantum Vibe going.

We Made It!

Third try, as they say, is a charm.

The crowdfunding campaign for QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War Part 2 made its goal one day before the closing, and climbed a bit over the top in the final day.

Over the next week Scott will design the back cover and assemble the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books (as well as the cards and T-shirts) on hand in the second half of June and will ship them out to backers ASAP.

(The e-book version will also be released by then and we'll announce that date when we have it locked down.)

Pierre: I don't blame you personally, but you Belters continue jacking up the prices of all the raw materials we need!
Panel 3
Pierre sits straight up, delivering what he thinks is a important truth. Guy looks at him blankly.
Pierre: It just isn't fair.
Pierre: The bounty of space is the common heritage of all mankind!
Panel 4
Same shot, not Guy is breaking out into spasms of laughter. Now Pierre looks surprised.
Guy: HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW
