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 74

Panel 1
Inside Section 12-327. Fiorella is still shivering, Guy has his arms around her (from the side) trying to warm her. Lorna is pulling a large roll of blanket from a locker.

Fiorella: I’ve never done well in cold…

Lorna: We have thermal blankets. They’ll protect us – for a while anyway.

Panel 2
They huddle together, wrapping the large blanket all around them.

Lorna: We’ll do better if we combine our body heat…


Panel 3
Close-up of the three of them in the blanket. Their faces are still exposed but there’s enough blanket left they can close it completely when they need to. Guy speaks softly to Fiorella, who smiles just a bit. Lorna is a bit discomfited and looking away.

Guy: I – I must confess I’ve long wanted to get closer to you, Fiorella. But not in such dire circumstances.

Fiorella: I know, Guy, I know.
