Strip 474 -- First Seen: 2010-07-01
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
Babbette the Elder takes charge, holding a protective arm across the front of the booth.
Babbette: Simmer down, folks! This poor girl's been through a lot and you're overwhelming her!

Panel 2
BtE turns to Robyn.
BtE: Robyn, you can do what you want, but I need some help in the kitchen and some back-up waitressing for Emily.
BtE: I can give you room an' board plus 10 gold grams for 250 centimes' work a decaday, if you're interested.

Panel 3
Looking out from the wall, which puts Robyn on the left, Babbette the Elder at the end of the table, and Babbette the Younger at the right.
Robyn: Uh, I might be, as soon as I find out what's a centime and a decaday.
BtY: I'd take that deal if I were you – it's better than she offered me and I'm her granddaughter!

Panel 4
Looking at Babbette the Elder from Robyn's POV – she's hooked a thumb over her shoulder indicating the crowd of people gathered around.
BtE: Can y' start right now? I got a cafe full o' hungry customers!
