Strip 796 -- First Seen: 2011-09-22
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

Panel 1
Wide panel. Aboard the Airship H-82, Babbette and Reggie stroll along the main promenade. On the left, various lounges and dining areas. On the right, a gently curved wall filled with a row of large windows overlooking the landscape below. 1930s-style décor. Plenty of people milling about.

Babbette: Okay, - ah - Waldo, out with it.
Babbette: I can almost hear the gears turning.

Panel 2
Babbette and Reggie stand near one of the observation windows. Reggie looks at Babbette, who is gazing out the window.
Reggie: You see right through me, don't you?
Babbette: Something has got you thinking. What is it?

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Reggie. Leave room for dialog.
Reggie: There are some rumors I'd like to chase down, and Sunnyvale seems like the place to start.
Reggie: What say we head down to the South Pole now and do some snooping?

Panel 4
Full 2-shot of Reggie and Babbette at the window. They are holding hands as they both gaze out over the paraterraformed crater.
Reggie: Then we return and enjoy the wonders of the North Pole before getting a burner home.
Babbette: Okay, right after we get back from this tour.
