Strip 860 -- First Seen: 2012-01-03
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
Large, square panel. The same hangar area we first saw in strip 02-055, with a variety of fanciful personal flying vehicles parked on the various inner octahedral surfaces. A network of hand-rails assists people getting to the vehicles in the zero-gee environment. One of the boats can be the scaled-down Fokker Tri-plane which Doris and Fiorella used, the rest is up to artist's imagination. We're not seeing the entire bay yet. We do see Bert, Ernie and Big Bird near the inner entryway to the hangar. The Bros are looking around in wonderment.
Big Bird: Guests are invited to choose the personal flying vehicle of their choice, for getting around the park.
Bert: Huh.

Panel 2
Close 2-shot of the Bros, looking up at one angle.
Bert: A Fokker Tri-plane? Who'd want a jalopy like that?
Ernie: Huh.
Panel 3
Same shot, now something in the lower right has caught Ernie's attention, and he beams like a kid in a candy store. Bert is looking in the same direction but doesn't look happy.
Ernie: Hey, that's it!
Bert: What's it …?
Bert: Oh, no.
