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

Strip 68

Panel 1
Back in the sealed-off, blacked-out Segment with Guy and Fiorella and Lorna. Lorna is rummaging in a locker behind one of the panel doors. Illumination is still provided by the PDAs on each of their wrists.


Lorna: There’s an emergency oxygen supply should keep us supplied for up to 72 hours.

Lorna (2): But not if it all leaks away first.

SFX (runs across entire top row of panels): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


Panel 2
Vert Small panel. Close shot of Lorna holding up a small device that looks like a soda straw with a double-thick section in the middle.

Lorna: Ah.


Panel 3
Same shot, but now Lorna blows through one end of the straw, and we see bubbles (about 3-5cm in diameter) come out the other end.




SFX: Fwooooo

Panel 4
Normal panel, now we see Lorna, Guy and Fiorella surrounded by scores of these bubbles, which have spread about the room. Lorna has turned back to rummaging in the locker again. Guy is looking alarmed?

Lorna: Leak detectors. They’ll follow the micro-currents and mark where the leaks are.

Guy: Leaks? As in plural?

SFX (runs across entire bottom row of panels): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
