Strip 801 -- First Seen: 2011-10-12
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
Guy at his desk in his King's Court office, hard at work with columns of numbers. He has a holoscreen going on his desktop and also a digital tablet laying to the right of his keyboard where he is pointing a finger to mark a place. His wrist-t-comm (left wrist) sounds an incoming call alert.
SFX: [musical notes coming from the t-comm]
Panel 2
Medium close-up of Guy holding the t-comm near his left ear. He is flinching from the shouting coming from the comm.
Pierre (filtered): HE TOUCHED ME! THAT DAMED POUTAIN TOUCHED ME!

Panel 3
Guy leaning back in his office chair, looking a bit rumpled. He is holding his hand out palm down in a calming gesture.
Guy: Okay okay, Cousin. Calm down and let's start at the beginning.
Guy: Where are you?
Pierre (filtered): I am outside that damned bar, The White Swallow!

Panel 4
Medium close-up of Guy with the t-comm, now chuckling a bit.
Pierre: Do you know what this bar is?
Guy: I hope you didn't drop your comm and bend over to pick it up.
