Strip 785 -- First Seen: 2011-09-07
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

Strip 108
Panel 1
Guy's living room. His Ceres City apartment is spacious and well-appointed. Pierre is standing in the room with Guy, Pierre, a bit shorter than Guy and very slender, with a delicate air, is looking disdainful.
Pierre: So, this is your place?
Pierre: In Paris, I have a view of the Seine and the Tower Eiffel.
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot of Pierre and Guy. Pierre continues to yammer as Guy touches some buttons on a remote control device.
Pierre: What do you have? Just comm screens?
Panel 3
Guy's living room is transformed. The floor and furniture remain, in place of the walls and ceiling we have a 3-dimensional image of Paris at Sunset, as seen from light-pole height just across the Seine river from the famous Tower Eiffel. Pierre is momentarily non-plussed.

Guy: This is a realtime view taken from a tanglecam across the Seine from the Tower.
Guy: Is your view better than this?
Panel 4
Closer 2-shot of Pierre and Guy. Guy momentarily has the upper hand, and Pierre is looking burned.
Guy: I have visited your apartment in Paris. My humble abode here is three or four times the size of your place.
Guy: So, what is your point?
