Strip 104 - Click on page above to goto the next page. -- First Seen: 2009-02-05
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
Smaller panel -- Reggie and Bert

Bert: Okay, but wasn’t that ‘World Ceres Pennant’ bit kinda cruel?

Bert (2): When he shows it to his sports-fan friends back on Terra, they’ll crucify him with teasing and ridicule.

Panel 2
Larger, Abstract panel. Try to channel Steve Ditko. Guy Caillard is standing by himself looking really embarrassed as he is surrounded by larger-than-life lauching faces.


Reggie (out of frame): I want Caillard to have every reason to escape from Terra. For us primates, ridicule is usually more persuasive than bayonets.

Panel 3
Back at the table, Reggie hoists his beer mug in a toast-making gesture.

Reggie: He’ll come here and be a productive and proud Cererean.

Panel 4
The three friends click their mugs together making their toast.

Bert and Ernie in unison: Hear Hear!

Reggie: To the World Ceres.
