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. We Won.

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 1752

Panel 1
Screen shows a friendly, buxomly female cartoon character sitting at the edge of a fountain. Nearby is floating text: Scarlett Encaje and Our Arti-Folk Friends.
Scarlett: Hola! I'm Scarlett Encaje, and I'm here to talk about Our Arti-Folk Friends.
Caption: I'd think this was a children's program except for that decolletage on Scarlett.
Panel 2
The water from the fountain swirls around and forms four vortices around Scarlett, each containing a type of 21st-Century robot: from a Roomba to an assembler to an office mail distributor to one of the Mars Rovers
Scarlett: Since the advent of micro-electronics more than 1,000 years ago, humans have been making 'thinking machines' of increasing complexity for various uses.
Caption: Dem boobs tho.
Panel 3
Scarlett floats past other watery vortices, this time two large ones containing representations of positronic brains, one inside a vehicle and the other inside a mechanical man.
Scarlett: Hirai-Tezuka, a company from ancient Japan, made a breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence in the year 75 S.A., with the first positronic brain.
Scarlett: For the first time, engineers could create a general intelligence capable of true learning, and potentially, self-awareness.

Panel 4
Now Scarlett is juxtaposed with images of varying types of anthropic mechanoids, from something like Rosie from the Jetsons to something like C-3PO to something like 8th Man to a contemporary gynoid.
Scarlett: Fifty years later the positronic brain was superceded by the plancktronic brain, which remains to this day the basic technology for Artificial Intelligence. And thus arose a new class of person we call 'arti-folk.'
Caption: She should name one boob 'positronic' and the other 'plancktronic.'
