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 172
Panel 1Seamus, Vanessa, Nicole seated at a restaurant table. Décor looks like an actual Italian bistro. Wine has been served, as have salads, but no main course yet.
Seamus: I must say, this Caesar dressing is quite good.
Nicole: Everything here is. I like the atmosphere of the place, too.
Nicole: So what is it you need to tell me?
Panel 2A
Closer 2-shot of Vanessa and Nicole. Nicole is holding her half-finished wine glass.
Vanessa: I haven't finished my wine, darling.
Nicole: Quit stalling. Or were all your lectures about honest dealing just a load of brack?
Panel 3
Vanessa puts her wine glass down, and steels herself for a confession.
Vanessa: Very well, my child.
Vanessa: Remember how you asked who your father is, and I explained that as a clone you don't have a father?
Nicole: Yes … ?
Panel 4
Three-shot of Seamus, Vanessa and Nicole. Nicole does a take. Seamus smiles and wiggles his fingers at her.
Vanessa: Well, in fact, you have eleven fathers, genetically speaking.
Vanessa: And this walrus here is one of them.
