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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.
Transcript For Strip 340
Panel 1In an antechamber to the courtroom, a guard has brought Nicole to meet with Bustamante. Nicole maintains a 'poker face' throughout.
Caption: The next morning:
Bustamante: The arraignment will start in a few minutes. Have you thought about what I asked you yesterday?
Panel 2
Two-shot Nicole and Bustamante.
Nicole: I will not betray Seamus.
Bustamante: {sigh} Very well, if it's that important to you ...
Panel 3
With the guard in tow, Nicole and Bustamante walk into the courtroom. We see the judge's 'bench' with the Lunar Government logo, and two lighted platforms before it. A business-suited woman with short, dark hair stands on the left-side platform, while Nicole and Bustamante are headed for the right-side platform.
Bustamante: Your judge will be Clara Neopolitan.
Bustamante: I should be able to work with her, but she's a real stickler for decorum and protocol.
Panel 4
Nicole and Bustamante on a platform under a cone of light, awaiting the judge's appearance. We can see the guard standing a meter away, behind Nicole.
Bustamante: So only speak when you're spoken to and let me do the talking, ok?
