Strip 442 -- First Seen: 2010-05-18
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

Robyn and Sajjan saunter away from the tray-disposal area.

Sajjan: How come no praying when you were a kid?

Robyn: Mom's a fallen-away Hindu, not religious at all, though she still observes some of the cultural stuff.

Panel 2
The two pause to converse, some of the other inmates can be seen milling around them, generally in the same direction (towards the mess hall exit).

Robyn: Dad is from New Zealand.

Robyn: His parents brought him up in the Unitarian Church which is basically 'Religion Lite.'

Panel 3
Robyn smiles and taps Sajjan on his belly with the back of her hand, in a 'hey, get this' gesture.

Robyn: Hey Sajjan, do you know how a Unitarian prayer begins?

Robyn: 'To whom it may concern ...'

Panel 4
Pull back a bit. Robyn and Sajjan are both laughing. Behind them is a Barney Fife-like Yard Guard, who is annoyed but also clearly intimidated by Sajjan.

Robyn and Sajjan (together): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yard Guard: All right, all right, keep moving you two … uh, please?
