Strip 976 -- First Seen: 2012-06-13
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 Emily and Anton sit in Anton's living room. Emily is looking sad and Anton is being friendly.
Anton: Emily, stop beating yourself up.
Anton: I've reviewed the video of your trial. You thought you were protecting—or maybe avenging—your friend, Libby. I cannot fault you for that.
Panel 2
Close-up of Emily, looking even more remorseful.
Anton (OP): There is one thing, though.
Panel 3
Close-up of Anton, forgiving.
Anton: The thing is, I think Sv Rosenberg did the right thing when he put you to work in Sherwood Forest.
Anton: You needed the light of life here, to replace the shadows of death inside you.
Panel 4
Anton puts his hand over Emily's, encouragingly.
Anton: I see you know it's true.
Anton: I have a business proposal for you. I want you to be my partner in a business that offers life as its only product.
