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.
Transcript For Strip 799
Panel 1Murphy and Adileh.
Murphy: I know that I was designed to be a comfort-bot for wealthy men.
Murphy: But I've had more than a century's worth of experiences, I've been moded and upgraded a half-dozen times.
Murphy: Surely I've grown beyond my original programming?
Panel 2
Adileh and Murphy.
Adileh: Murphy, what you're going through is all too human.
Adileh: When you lost Xu-kč, it was like having part of your psyche ripped away, leaving a jagged hole.
Adileh: When Seamus came along you tried to stuff him into that hole.
Panel 3
Adileh.
Adileh: In the process you put him on a pedestal, creating an idealized 'Seamus' that only bears partial resemblance to the real one.
Adileh: He's basically a good man, but he has his faults, some of them damned irritating.
Adileh: You must give yourself time to heal, and time to discover who the real Seamus is, before you go jumping off lovers' leap.
Panel 4
Adileh and Murphy. Adileh is laying a friendly hand on Murphy's.
Murphy: There's also the irritating fact that he's engaged.
Adileh: Yes, well, unless and until they tie the knot, he's still fair game.
Murphy: I knew there was some reason I liked you.
