Strip 379 -- First Seen: 2010-02-25
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
Wide panel, the lobby of the Hotel Mandala. Medium shot of the girls as they turn to greet the voice that had called to them. The Girls are met by Herr Alois Lutz, the hotel manager. Lutz is a short, slighly paunchy Swiss fellow with a genuine, engaging smile. He should have a Old European air about him, rather like David Suchet's version of Hercule Poirot.

Lutz: Greetings mesdames Taylor and Stellina, I am Alois Lutz, manager of Hotel Mandala.

Lutz: Mr. Awatere asked me to personally see to your needs here.

Panel 2
Three-shot of Lutz and the two girls.

Lutz: Have you been informed about the various gravity regimes available here?

Doris: Yes, we have.

Panel 3
Still a 3-shot, different angle. Doris speaks to Lutz.
Doris: Fiorella is from Earth, though she has been in the Belt for almost two years. I think she might want a bit more gravity for sleeping.


Panel 4
Still a 3-shot, different angle, making sure we can see Fiorella's face clearly. Doris turns towards Fiorella for confirmation of what she's saying, and Fiorella grins back at her.
Doris: I have no problem with acceleration, so how about 0.3 gee?
