Story & Art: Scott Bieser - Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 409
Panel 1The lobby at the android-rental shop. Seamus, Nicole and Buford are seated on a sofa in front of a plate-glass mirror, which has the name of the shop in Chinese characters reversed on the window. Buford is looking grumpy.
Seamus: I hope this doesn't take long.
Buford: It may not be my place to say this, but I'm surprised that an L-5er would even consider participating in the slave-android trade.
Panel 2
Closer 3-shot of Seamus, Nicole and Buford.
Seamus: Please understand that this is not my preference.

Buford (OP): What's the other item?
Panel 4
