Strip 472 -- First Seen: 2010-06-29
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
Back to Robyn's story. She's just been mugged, trying to stand up while still dizzy, leaning against a wall.

Caption (Robyn): 'I don't know how long I was out but when I came to all I had left were the clothes I was wearing – my money, my T-comm, everything else was gone.'

Panel 2
Robyn wanders into the main part of town. She looks slightly disheveled, and quite wary now. Some of the passers-by glance at her but otherwise leave her be.

Caption (Robyn): 'I never felt so lost.

Caption: 'I wandered around the town for hours, not knowing what to do.'

Panel 3
Robyn stands forlornly outside the King's Court & Karaoke Church. Standing in the open hatchway and facing her is Guy Caillard, who is holding his hands out palms forward in an 'is there anything I can do?' gesture.
Caption (Robyn): 'I found Reggie King's place but some French guy I saw there said he was away on business. I didn't know who to turn to.'

Panel 4
Robyn is huddled up in a small alcove in a corridor. She has one of those haunted looks you see in those photos of starving African children.
Caption (Robyn): 'I found a hiding place to sleep for the night, and I was able to sneak into the Hilliott a few times for water and bathroom needs, but I had no way to get food, and I was beginning to starve.'
