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.
Transcript For Strip 396
Panel 1Buford and Nicole in center, with Hari, Seamus, George, Claud and Antigone gathered 'round.
Buford: Come wit' you? Where are you going?
Nicole: A grand tour of the Solar System – well, starting with Mars and going outward, anyway.
Panel 2
Three-shot of Seamus, Hari and George
Seamus: Ah … not that I object to the company, but travel to the outer planets is really more expensive than I can manage now.
Hari: An excellent idea – Ms. Beltran will keep Nicole out of trouble. And I'll cover the expense.
Panel 3
Three-shot of Seamus, Hari and George.
Hari: George, I assume she's 18 and threrefore legal majority, right?
George: Actually, Lunar law is a bit inconsistent on that, with regard to Beltapes. It would be best to get her parents' consent.
Panel 4
Medium 2-shot of Buford and Nicole, with Hari and Seamus (seen from behind) flanking them in the foreground. Buford is looking unsure but Nicole looks happy.
Buford: I'm pretty sure Pa won't object ...
Nicole: Then it's settled!
