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.
QV on a short break [ Jul 15, 2026 ]
QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.
In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.
Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.
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.
