Strip 549 -- First Seen: 2010-10-14
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
Looking past Pablo at Bert and Ernie, seated across his desk and over to his left.
Pablo: Okay, gentlemen, you have already admitted forcibly depriving these men of their liberty. I don't take such things lightly. You better have a pretty good story.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Bert and Ernie, Bert is standing.
Bert: We do, Sv. Rosenberg.
Bert: Nearly three decadays ago, my brother Ernie and I were at 243 Ida, excavating a small mascon which had been discovered by Reggie King.
Merry (OP): Objection.

Panel 3
Merry is now seated next to her three defendants. She is addressing Pablo,
Merry: There has been no evidence offered that Reggie King discovered the mascon. My clients could have easily discovered it, and merely taken action to defend their rightful claim.

Panel 4
Pablo leaning on one elbow on his desk.
Pablo: Could have? Overruled. Let Sv. Guzmán continue his testimony.
