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.

Caption: Nicole accesses the address listings stored in her cortical implant ...
Panel 3
Another close-up on Nicole, shifted angle. Now she's remembering Hari Copperton giving her his number, moments after the last panel in strip 246. A memory bubble fills most of the panel.
Copperton: Well, if you should ever need me, for whatever reason, here's my contact info, okay?
Panel 4
Split into 2 panels: In the first, Nicole punches a number into the keypad. In the second, she's holding the handset to the side of her head, speaking into it.
Nicole: H-Hello, Hari? It's Nicole ...
