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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
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.
