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.
Panel 1
In the galley, Murphy, Eithne and Hugo are seated around the table, conferencing.
Murphy: We've been invited to visit with officials on the planet Bbrrrbtpff below.
Murphy: At this point we must decide whether to get more involved with these people, or move on.
Panel 2
Shift focus to Hugo.
Hugo: On the plus side, they have technology which might be useful to us – this 'sub-space radio' of theirs, for example.
Hugo: And the related tech, the ability to scan for ships at thousands of gigameters without speed-of-light delays.
Hugo: On the minus side, they are a militaristic and gyno-dominant culture.
Panel 3
Murphy and Eithne both cross their arms, looking at Hugo.
Murphy: You find their gyno-dominance to be a problem?
Hugo: Only as combined with their statism.
Hugo: This makes them not only dangerous but also untrustworthy.
