To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 1712
Panel 1Back in realspace, Hugo re-enters the alcove where Murphy is waiting with the 'unconscious' Eithne and Theo.
Hugo: Don't. Say. A … what in the world?
Murphy: She assigned me to guard-dog duty and plugged herself into his brain.
Panel 2
Hugo looks Eithne over.
Hugo: You rash, reckless child!
Hugo: And curse me for falling asleep at the wrong moment!
Hugo: Well, there's only one thing to do now.
Panel 3
Hugo has moved over to the Interface panel and is sticking his left hand into the orifice. Murphy looks even more worried.
Hugo: Theo may be damaged but he may still have enough of my guile and experience to be more than a match for Eithne.
Hugo: Even with these gamer-gods backing her play.
Panel 4
Murphy tries to speak with Hugo but he is now stock-still as a statue, completely immersed in the Cush network.
Murphy: Are you sure this is a good idea? Remember what happened last time you did this …
Murphy: … Hugo? HUGO?
Panel 5
Four-shot of Hugo at the Interface, Murphy, and Theo with Eithne in the corner. Murphy is looking highly annoyed.
Murphy: This well and truly bites.
Murphy: I'm stuck here baby-sitting these three.
Murphy: How will I stave off boredom?
Panel 6
Murphy looks to her right and sees several Cush drones approaching.
Murphy: Oh.
Murphy: Shit.
