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

Solid black. No dialog

Panel 2
We are in Guy’s hotel room, looking through his eyes as he lies in bed. You might create rounded, blackened corners in the panel to denote that we are looking through opening eyes. We see the lower part of Guy’s body in the bed; a dresser and mirror, and to one side, Fiorella sleeping in a chair.


Guy (feebly): -- Fiorella?

Panel 3
Switch views. Now we see Guy laying on the bed. He has a small IV tube leading from a vein in his left arm up to a small (approx 10cm cubed) box sitting on the nightstand on that side. Fiorella is now at his right side, her hand on his right arm and looking at him affectionately.

Fiorella: My hero awakes.

Guy: H-how long was I out?



Panel 4
A bit closer in on Fiorella and Guy, same pose.

Fiorella: A little more than a day.

Fiorella (2): That leak created a blood-blister, which burst. Lorna said you lost almost a liter before we reached the air-lock.
