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

ESCAPE FROM TERRA
Week 13: Inside The Flying Spaghetti Monster

Strip 61

Panel 1
Larger, establishing panel -- G, F, Bert and Lorna disembarking the transport through an airlock. There is almost no gravity here and they move by guiding themselves along hand-rails. Guy is looking a bit nauseated, and Lorna notes his discomfort. The characters and background should be arranged in such a way that it’s not obvious which way is up.

Caption: Guy and Fiorella begin their tour of a mining operation on an asteroid nicknamed, ‘The Flying Spaghetti Monster.’

Lorna: You are not comfortable in Zero Gee, Agent Caillard?

Guy: I’m getting better at it. I just need to figure out which way is up.

Panel 2
Small panel -- Closer shot on Guy and Lorna. Lorna has opened the door to a 1-meter tall locker in the wall revealing a pair of heavy-looking boots.

Lorna: We usually have green-colored plating on the “floor” surface, if that helps you orient your inner ear.

Lorna (2): Also, we can lend you some mag-boots to help you get around, but …

Panel 3
A bit larger panel – we see Fiorella and Bert cavorting playfully in the space above Guy and Lorna’s heads. Nothing too complicated, maybe have Fiorella pretend to be swimming across the space while Bert tripple back-flips in another direction.

Lorna: … Most people seem to prefer floating.
