Strip 800 -- First Seen: 2011-10-11
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
In Guy's apartment, in the breakfast nook this time. Pierre is seated at the table, sipping on coffee and reading the news on his personal tablet. Guy is putting on his coat.
Guy: I have some work to do at King's Court.
Guy: The apartment now recognizes you and will unlock the door for you.

Panel 2
Guy straightens his jacket, checks himself out in a mirror in the vestibule while still gabbing at his cousin.
Guy: The kitchen has plenty of food and the AI will answer questions, and cook whatever you want. It will also answer most questions you might have about Ceres and the Belt.
Guy: There are two shopping arcades within walking distance and several good restaurants in the area.

Panel 3
Guy turns and looks back at Pierre still seated at the breakfast nook table, which can be seen down a short hallway from the vestibule with the mirror.
Pierre: Don't worry about me, Cousin, I will be fine.
Pierre: I saw a bar on my way here. I think I will check it out.
Pierre: I think it is a sailor bar. I saw two men entering wearing white bell-bottoms, middies, and sailor caps.

Panel 4
Guy now standing just outside his apartment door, now closed. He is paused, and looking puzzled.
Guy: Sailor bar? Space, or sea?
