Strip 799 -- First Seen: 2011-10-10
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
In Guy's apartment, Pierre and Guy still seated and with their drinks. Pierre is now leaning forward, elbows on knees, looking defiantly at Guy. Guy is surprised by the accusation
Guy: What's the matter?
Pierre: This is all your fault, you know.
Pierre: You know the UW is in a financial crisis – even after issuing a lot more Continentals, which should have gotten the economy going again.
Panel 2
Pierre presses on.
Pierre: They still found it necessary to furlough many in the bureaucracy. I lost my position in the second round of cuts.
Pierre: I don't blame you personally, but you Belters continue jacking up the prices of all the raw materials we need!
Panel 3
Pierre sits straight up, delivering what he thinks is a important truth. Guy looks at him blankly.
Pierre: It just isn't fair.
Pierre: The bounty of space is the common heritage of all mankind!
Panel 4
Same shot, not Guy is breaking out into spasms of laughter. Now Pierre looks surprised.
Guy: HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW
