Strip 964 -- First Seen: 2012-05-28
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
Pilgrim storms down the tunnel, away from the offending billboard -- or that is, moves angrily in the .022g environment, using a hand-rail along the tunnel wall to pull himself along. His friend, Adi, struggles to keep up.
Adi: Uh, are there lawyers on Vesta?
Pilgrim: Of sorts, but never mind -- no defamation laws, blast it. But I shall issue a scathing press release.
Panel 2
Pilgrim and his friends pass by a trio of locals who have congregated in a tunnel grotto. Pilgrim is still fuming.
Pilgrim: Someone should tell Mister Kasteel about what happened to a little boy when he teased a big bad bear one time too many.
Panel 3
Hold shot on the trio of locals, looking sideways at Pilgrim and Adi, who have moved on.
Adi: Er, what happened?
Pilgrim: He -- well, it wasn't pleasant, let me tell you.
Panel 4
Smallish panel consisting entirely of the following caption:
Caption: After the play -- a smashing success -- everyone got back to the business of business.
