Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.
Transcript For Strip 2185
Panel 1Cut to: William I. 'Billy' Montoya, a 'tin-man' with a body mimicking a large boa (as seen in Volume 6) is standing next to a liquor cabinet, using armatures to mix a cocktail.
Caption: Meanwhile, across town:
Billy: Well, I'm glad you were able to stop by and see me, Dad.
Billy: It seems we hardly ever get together anymore.
Caption: Atty. William I. Montoya, Esq.
Panel 2
Reverse view, the armature is handing the drink to Albert Montoya.
Albert: I'm sorry I've been so pressed for time lately.
Albert: With any luck this crisis will be past and things can go back to normal.
Billy: 'Normal' may never be the same again.
Panel 3
Albert lounges in a chair as Billy, in his hovercraft, has settled down beside him
Albert: Well, at least I've become accustomed to the body you chose to resurrect into after the … accident.
Billy: Ha-ha! And only after 50 years. That's adaptability, to be sure.
Panel 4
Another angle on the two.
Albert: I could be gone a good long while. Look after the family for me, would you?
Billy: Okay, but I'd like you to bring back a pony for me.
