Strip 526 -- First Seen: 2010-09-13
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
Establishing scene: Babbette the Elder exiting Callahan's with Bert and Ernie, strolling casually, Ceres-style along the city street, the elder woman flanked on each side by her sons. They're about a quarter-mile or so from the Water Bros. Cafe.
Ernie (to Babbette): So, anything exciting happen while we were away?
Babbette: Lemme think – you met our new girl Robyn Jones before you left, right?

Panel 2
Closer 3-shot on Babbette and her sons. Ernie looks at Bert, Bert looks at Babbette.
Ernie: Uh, no?
Bert: You mentioned 'taking in another stray' just before we left, I think.

Panel 3
More distant 3-shot of the trio, walking away.
Babbette: The only other thing was Wally Cooper taking down the SpacePort Mugger.
Bert: Wally …
Ernie: … Cooper?
