  The target space of minimal $(2,2m-1)$ strings is embedded into the phase
space of an integrable mechanical model. Quantum effects on the target space
correspond to quantum corrections on the mechanical model. In particular double
scaling is equivalent to standard uniform approximation at the classical
turning points ot the mechanical model. After adding ZZ brane perturbations the
quantum target remains smooth and topologically trivial. Around the ZZ brane
singularities the Baker-Ahkiezer wave function is given in terms of the
parabollic cylinder function.
