Strip 377 -- First Seen: 2010-02-23
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
The plane is arcing around towards the hotel's central spin-axis, lining up with a 20-meter-wide tunnel running through the thick part of the disk. The entrance to the tunnel has a surrounding 'collar' extending another 5 meters from the side-surface, that houses traffic-control and related functions.

Buzz: We are entering computer controlled air space.

Panel 2
Side-view of the Fokker entering the central tunnel. Think of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey at the point where the Pan America shuttle is entering the giant wheel-like space station.

Buzz: Mandala's approach control will dock your craft automatically.

Panel 3
They are now in the tunnel. The tunnel has openings to docking bays all the way around, some of them containing various wacky aircraft.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Robot arms have gently seized the Fokker and are pulling it into one of the bays.

Doris: Easy does it.
