Strip 949 -- First Seen: 2012-05-07
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
Establishing shot of a meeting hall, big enough to hold 141 audience members with a little room to spare. The audience members are chattering with one another. At the dais in the front is Pilgrim Boner, with his hands raised, trying to get everyone's attention. Over to the right of Pilgrim is a large placard on an easel reading, 'Massachusetts Contingent Meeting.'
Pilgrim: Will the meeting please come to order!
Panel 2
Medium shot of Pilgrim at the dais, addressing the crowd.
Pilgrim: For those of you you've joined recently, I'm Pilgrim Boner.
Pilgrim: I called this introductory meeting to tell you about preparations I've made for you and to provide some basic information about Vesta.
Panel 3
A random shot of some audience members, looking intently towards Pilgrim. (Note -- any time you see a seated person on Vesta, and can see their feet, there is a bar or some sort of toe-hold near the ground where they can hook their feet and more easily keep themselves in their seats. You may not see it in this panel but maybe in later ones.)
Pilgrim: You have already experienced Vesta's very weak gravity, .022 gs, to be exact.
Panel 4
Medium shot of Pilgrim, smiling dryly.
Pilgrim: But you have the same mass as always, so don't get moving to fast and then try to stop on a Continental.
Pilgrim: It won't work any better than a Continental.
SFX: [polite chuckling]
