Strip 979 -- First Seen: 2012-06-18
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
Emily is shaking hands with Sv. Katz. A bunch of boxes and cages and plants surround them in the background.
Emily: Welcome to FloraFauna, Sv. Katz. How was the flight?
Katz: The animals were in autosleep most of the time. So, none the worse for wear. Let's start bringing them up to full alert so they can get situated to their new home.
Panel 2
Sv. Katz turns to one of the boxes/cages as Emily stiffens. Jeff the bobcat is walking through the unloading port.
Emily: Oh my--I, I don't remember ordering a, uh, leopard...
Panel 3
Katz turns and pets Jeff calmly.
Katz: Oh, don't worry, that's just Jeff. He's a bobcat.
Katz: He's not part of your order, he's with me.
Panel 4
Close-up of Jeff as Katz and Emily speak off camera.
Emily: Is he your animal companion?
Katz: More like I'm his human companion.
