Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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.

Seamus: Hurm.
Panel 3
Murphy is as close as she can get to where Seamus is squatting. She leans forward a bit.
Murphy: I've been trying to hack into Vesta Vista's network, but I keep getting stymied.
Murphy: Can you help me? Or at least, give me some hacking tips?
Seamus: Hurm.
Panel 4
Now Murphy is looking annoyed.
Murphy: Seamus, are you even listening to me?
Seamus: Yes, I am, and no, I won't help you.
Panel 5
Murphy is taken aback.
Murphy: You … won't--?
Seamus: As I said, you should have avoided this entanglement to begin with. I am leaving Vesta in four days, with or without you.
Panel 6
Murphy is at a loss for words, starting to get angry.
Murphy: I … I … alright, then.
Seamus: Any other questions?
Panel 7
Murphy exits through the doorway in the background, leaving Seamus to work in silence.

Seamus: {tsk} Not enough curiosity to ask me what I'm doing ...
