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 ]

Transcript For Strip 2520
Panel 1Nicole and Murphy embrace, Li and Hugo shake hands.
Nicole: MURPHY! It’s been ages.
Li: Good to see you again, Doctor Hugo.
Hugo: Thanks for not hugging me.
Panel 2
Nicole looks at the hopper/out-house
Nicole: Er, is that supposed to be … an out-house?
Hugo: I thought something bucolic would blend-in on a farm.
Li: A little too bucolic, I’m afraid.
Panel 3
Hugo snaps his fingers, and suddenly the hopper has the same ‘skin’ as the house.
Hugo: Is this better?
Nicole: Considerably.
Li: But what’s with that weird sound when you arrived?
Panel 4
Hugo looks confused.
Murphy: {giggle!} I told you.
Hugo: Weird sound?
Nicole: You know, ‘wheEEeze-runp! WheEEeze-runp!’
Panel 5
Murphy with Hugo
Hugo: I wanted to stop the displacement from causing that annoying ‘pop’ from the air getting pushed out suddenly.
Hugo: At first I wanted to tweak the sub-routine to eliminate the sound, but decided I like it.
Panel 6
Pull back to show the children peeking from around the corner, as the four adults share a laugh.
Muprhy: It reminds him of something from his mis-spent youth.
Hugo: I spent my youth quite productively, I’ll have you know.
