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

Strip 47

Panel 1
Wide shot, a “main drag” in Ceres City, with lots of pedestrians and various store-fronts set cheek-by-jowl. It looks a bit more like a modern shopping mall than a city street, but there are various small vehicles weaving around the pedestrian traffic. Babbette the Younger is driving through in her golf cart with Guy and Fiorella in the back seat. Guy has his usual mildly annoyed look, Fiorella for once, is looking pleased.

Guy: ‘Shop till you drop,’ the woman said.

Fiorella: Why not? It’s a good way to better understand the local culture.

Panel 2
There is a dress shop, “Haute Couture de Dominique,” next to a gun shop, “Isher’s Fine Tobacco & Firearms”. Guy orders Babbette to stop the cart in front of the dress shop. Arrange the scene so the focus is on the dress shop, while the gun shop is still plainly visible.

Guy: Stop here, driver. Ms. Stellina would like to sample the local clothing styles.

Panel 3
The three walk into the boutique – Guy is still a bit unsteady but he’s improving. He smiles in anticipation.

Guy (thought bubbles): What woman can resist a fancy new dress? Maybe we’ll pick up some jewelry too, courtesy of King Reginald … and I’m sure I won’t be sleeping alone for long.
