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 Girls enter an enormous suite. They are in a large 'living room' area with a large entertainment system, a fake but very convincing fireplace, and four doors leading into adjacent bedrooms. Extensive wainscotting, overstuffed lounge furniture, framed prints of grand master paintings adorning the walls. Make it as 'posh' as you can. The girls look about in awe.

Doris: ...

Fiorella: ...

Panel 2
The girls step out onto an enormous balcony. A 4-foot high rail separates them from the open air-space of the Park, where the other buildings and various flying craft hover and move about. Make this a ¾ angle view so we can see a wide extent of the balcony (make it about 50 feet wide) without having to make this another wide panel

Fiorella: Can you believe this balcony?

Doris: Heck, we should just have landed the Fokker here.

Panel3
They enter one of the large bedrooms, as poshly furnished as the living-room area.. Focus is on the giant, 'California King-size' bed.

Doris: This must be the master bedroom.

Fiorella: This room is twice the size of my old apartment back on Terra.

Panel 4
The girls are standing next to the bed, and Fiorella pats it affectionately.

Fiorella: Heck, we should have landed the Fokker here.

Panel 5
Medium close-up of the girls, both in a giggling fit.

Doris and Fiorella, together: Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!

Panel 6
Doris has laid her backpack on the bed, preparing to open it. Fiorella is looking at Doris tentatively.

Fiorella: Doris, I have to admit I'm intimidated by this 'presidential' suite.

Fiorella: Would you mind if we both slept here?

Panel 7
Doris is starting to pull a t-shirt out of her backpack. Fiorella is looking a bit relieved as Doris assents to her request.

Doris: Sure, we've been sleeping next to each other in zero-gee cocoons for months, on jobs.

Doris: And besides, I'm a bit intimidated too. Pick your side and let's get some shut-eye.
