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 415
Panel 1Close 4-shot of Nicole, Buford, Ventura, Seamus, peering at the camera (angle reversed from last panel of previous strip. Nicole and Buford look deeply offended. Ventura looks a bit embarrassed. Seamus looks disgusted.
Nicole: What the hell --?
Buford: At least here they're more honest about their racism than the Loonies.
Seamus: I'll find a more enlightened establishment for us.
Panel 2
The quartet have turned to move on (to stage left), but Seamus turns back in response to an OP voice calling him.
Voice: Seamus!
Voice: Seamus O'Murchadha! Is that you?
Panel 3
From stage right walks a fairly short, middle-aged Japanese man, sporting a beret. Seamus recognizes him and greets him warmly.
Seamus: Tezuka Hanzo! Why, it's been ages!
Hanzo: More than 75 years, I think. How are you?
Seamus: Hungry, and looking for lunch, to tell the truth.
Panel 4
Hanzo, smiling, hooks a thumb over his shoulder to indicate the White Lion. Seamus, Nicole and Buford are non-plussed.
Hanzo: Well, why not eat at my restaurant?
Hanzo: For you and your friends, lunch is on the house.
