Strip 806 -- First Seen: 2011-10-19
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
Back, for a moment, to the present. Suki is talking on her comm to Guy.
Suki: So anyway, Frenchy finally says, 'the obvious' … uh, no offense intended.
Guy (from comm): None taken.
Panel 2
Same shot as panel 4 of the previous strip, only now we're pulled back a bit so we see the big “White Swallow logo above the bottles. Instead of looking at the bottles, Henry is looking at the logo.
Suki: I guess he meant 'a drink' but Henry doesn't think 'alcohol.'
Suki: He thinks 'the obvious' as in 'white swallow.'

Panel 3
Cut to Guy in his office, talking on the comm, his eyes widening in horror.
Suki (from comm): So he lowers his hand to 'short arms inspection' and gives your cousin a little stroke and a squeeze.


Panel 4
Guy is now leaning over his keyboard on one elbow, his hand braced against his forehead, with an exasperated look.
Suki: After that, you probably know the rest.
