Strip 452 -- First Seen: 2010-06-01
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
Robyn again pushing on the hatch. This time she is making some headway.

Caption (Robyn): 'I tried closing the airlock hatch again. This time I had the air pressure helping me.'

Panel 2
Now Carla is also pushing on the hatch, and it slams shut.

Caption (Robyn): 'Finally ...'

Panel 3
The girls collapse to the ground, their backs to the closed hatch, breathing heavily.

Caption (Robyn): We collapsed, dazed and exhausted.

Panel 4
Closer two-shot of Robyn and Carla. Carla is still dazed, but Robyn is more alert and notices that other klaxons are still sounding.

SXF: (Multiple, smaller) BA-WOOP!

Caption (Robyn): 'I could hear several other klaxons, so it was clear that Norman's wasn't the only apartment that had blown out.'
