Strip 436 -- First Seen: 2010-05-10
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
Cut back to the cafe. Robyn, Emily and Babbette the Younger at the booth, more people gathered around.

Emily: He wanted you for his 'personal assistant'?

Emily: That doesn't sound so bad.

Panel 2
Switch angles, an angled view from the wall that takes in Robyn, Emily and the growing crowd of on-lookers. The onlookers are all suddenly suppressing embarrassed mirth. They don't want to laugh at Emily's naivete but can't help themselves.

Onlookers (variously): Snort! Cough! Mmph! Hic! Eep! Gasp!

Panel 3
Closer-in 3-shot of the girls at the booth. Babbette is resting her face on her palm, elbow on the table. Robyn looks a little bit annoyed. Emily has a 'huh? What?' expression.

Babbette: Oh Emily, you're such an innocent.

Robyn: There's a reason we referred to Tower Control as 'The Mile High Club.'

Panel 4
Medium c/u on Emily. We see a few of the people gathered behind her, most holding hands over their mouths. Emily's eyes widen as she finally gets the picture.
Emily: 'Mile High …'
Emily: Oh!
Emily: Oh, my!
