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.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 1741
Panel 1Now dressed in a somewhat flashier style, Diana is emerging from her flycar parked in front of a flashy nightclub with a sign reading 'Pé do Clube.' (Club Foot)
Caption: Juan knew he'd never solve this case without me so I was able to negotiate a big fat bonus, along with a reasonable raise.
Caption: Case-law reading could wait. This was a night to celebrate.
Panel 2
Just inside the club entrance, Diana is 'parking' her flycar by shoving the briefcase into a slot in a wall with dozens of similar slots. A sign reads, 'Estacionamento.'
Caption: Pé do Clube isn't far from home and usually had one of my favorite Spinners on deck.
Caption: It also has such a varied clientele that, well, it's hard to feel out-of-place when everyone around you else is, too.
Panel 3
Medium-distance shot of Diana dancing her ass off on the dance floor. In the foreground, we see a group of Coneheads chatting with each other. Other guests in the club are all very diverse.
Caption: It was a good place to mingle, but I'm not much of a mingler.
Caption: I just like to dance.
Panel 4
Looking past the Coneheads, at a corner of the bar, we see a silhouetted figure watching the dance floor. He's wearing a hat tall enough to conceal a cone-head.
Caption: Most people ignore me gyrating on the dance floor.
Caption: Some watch me. Some proposition me.
Caption: I don't care, I just come here to dance.
