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
Pull back from the last frame. Now Babbette the Younger is standing on the other side of Guy from where Emily is sitting. B’s hands are on her hips in a sassy pose.

Babbette: Heart’s desire? What do you know about that?

Babbette (2): You’ve never even had a boyfriend!

Panel 2
Now Emily is on her feet. She and Babbette are arguing at one another over Guy’s head. Guy just rolls his eyes.

Emily: I do so have a boyfriend!

Babbette: Yeah? Who’s that?

Emily: Larry Goldberg, smarty-pants!

Babbette: Larry Goldberg doesn’t even know you exist!

Panel 3
Close in on the three of them, Emily and Babbette yelling through clenched teeth at each other, while Guy looks trapped between them.


Emily: What do you know? You’re barely six!*

Babbette: I’m six-and-a-HALF!

Emily: Not for another 5 decasols!

Caption box: * Martian years.

Panel 4
Pull back now to show that Babbette the Elder in the scene. She is looking sternly at the girls.

B the elder: And I’m 39, so I out-rank both o’ ya.

B the elder: Now, get back to work.
