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 ]

Panel 1
In the apartment bathroom, Nicole looks at herself in the mirror. She's a mess, but she's ready for the acceptance phase.
Nicole (thought): Ugh. What a mess.
Nicole (thought): But my life won't fix itself. Time to get real.
Panel 2
In the shower (keep it PG-13), Nicole ponders her next move.
Nicole (thought): If I tell Mom that Philbert dumped me, I'll never hear the end of the I-told-you-sos.
Nicole (thought): Better find a real job first, then call her with good news.
Panel 3
Her hair tied back again, wearing a bathrobe, Nicole sits at her desk and works with her Screen, now set to 32 x 18 cm. She holds it up with one hand while touching the screen with her other hand. We see a portion of the Screen contents in a caption box.
