Strip 957 -- First Seen: 2012-05-17
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
President Taylor, a fit but obviously aging and weight-gaining man, sterotypical Politician style.
Taylor: Leon, you son of a bitch!
Taylor: I will have you in a cell so deep, sunlight will just be a rumor!
Panel 2
Leon angrily talks at the ISS communication device.
Leon: Malcolm, Malcolm, just put a sock in it for a minute and let me walk you through this!
Panel 3
Pres Taylor looks stunned and infuriated at Leon's impertinence. We see him on the screen and we see the back of Leon's head.
Leon: Here's the deal, Malcolm. My campaign contributions and support are probably why you are President.
Leon: It was a squeaker as it was, and I think I'm they guy who pushed you over the top. So you owe me.
Panel 4
Close-up of Taylor, only slightly less angry.
Taylor: Okay, I'm all ears, Leon. You have something for me, don't you?
Leon (OP): You read me like a book, Malcolm.
