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 69

Panel 1
Largish panel. Guy, Fiorella and Lorna hustle about the Corridor Section, placing patches over the leaks revealed by the popping stain-bubbles.

Fiorella: How do these patches work?

Lorna: They’re designed to extrude their material into a crack, drawn by the vacuum outside. When the material gets cold enough it congeals into plug that seals the leak.

SFX: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Panel 2
Smallish panel. In the foreground left, Guy is looking at the underside of one of the patches he’s carrying, inspecting it quizzically. In the background, Lorna barks at him.


Guy: You know, this material looks familiar somehow.

Lorna: Less quizzing and more patching, please!

SFX (a bit smaller than last panel): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Panel 3
Show all three characters floating in the corridor section. They are all out of patches. There are two unpatched leaks, as indicated by non-patched stains on two different bulkhead seams.

Fiorella: Um, we’re out of patches.

Lorna: Unfortunately, we’re not out of leaks

SFX (smaller still, one of these coming from each of the two remaining leaks): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
