Strip 454 -- First Seen: 2010-06-03
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 has stepped back into the airlock, and is speaking to Carla, who is still sitting with her back to the closed inner hatch, in a catatonic daze. Sajjan is standiung next to Robyn, closer to the outer hatchway.
Robyn: Carla, honey, you just stay right here until someone comes to help.
Sajjan: I think this section is safe.
SFX: (not very loud) BA-WOOP!

Panel 2
A little down the hallway, Sajjan opens the door to a utility closet.
Sajjan: There are emergency vacuum suits in this utility closet.
Sajjan: They're for administrators, we don't get any.
SFX: (not very loud) BA-WOOP!

Panel 3
Sajjan and Robyn donning vacuum suits. Sajjan's is a tight fit; Robyn's is a bit baggy. They don't have helmets on.
Sajjan: Unf! Tight fit.
Robyn: We're lucky to find suits that fit us at all.
SFX: (not very loud) BA-WOOP!

Panel 4
Carrying their helmets under their arms, Sajjan and Robyn descend a stairwell.
Caption (Robyn): 'We worried we'd be trapped in an elevator if the power failed. So, we took the emergency stairs towards the klaxon sound.'
SFX: (a little louder now) BA-WOOP!
