Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 1099
In January 2001 I found another job in the gaming industry and ceased work on ‘Conquest of the Milky way’ because I didn’t want muddy I.P. issues with my new employer.That job lasted seven months before I ran screaming for the hills and decided I was through with the computer game biz. However, I did manage to build a few models with 3D Studio which I’ll show here because what the hell.

Having quit the games business I shifted mental gears and re-purposed my ‘back-story’ as a web-comic concept, re-titled ‘The Murphy Drive.’ I designed a few characters and drew four installments before I was side-tracked again with two other projects, ‘A Drug War Carol’ and ‘The Probability Broach’.

There followed a commissioned short Graphic novel project about the life of Frédéric Bastiat which has never been published, a move to Cheyenne, and several more projects with Big Head Press. During this time I continued developing the story in my spare time until I was ready to pitch the project. With a name change and some other tweaks Frank accepted and the rest is future history.
Tomorrow I will show how I put together a typical QUANTUM VIBE strip.
