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
Guy is riding in Babbette the Younger’s cab, enroute to the King’s Court.

Guy: I must say, despite the disappointment with Fiorella, I’ve had an enjoyable time here.

Babbette: Oh, yes?

Panel 2
Close-up on Guy, a look of dreamy remembrance on his face. Leave extra space for dialog.

Guy: People here do things that are … real.

Guy (2): Reminds me of my childhood summers, on my grandfather’s farm in France. I collected eggs, fed the animals, tended the garden…

Guy (3): I could also swim in the sea, explore the woods, and ride a horse.


Panel 3
Pull camera back to bring Babbette back into the frame. She seems moved by his story.
[I like this. It helps set us up for WAR.]
Guy: I fantasized of being a pirate, or better yet, a cowboy.

Guy (2): Sadly, it all ended when the farm was collectivized and I was put into an accounting school.


Panel 4
The cab pulls up in front of the King’s Court.

Babbette: But isn’t that what you plan to do with Ceres, collectivize us?

Guy: Now-now, it’s all really for your benefit.
