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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.
Transcript For Strip 1098
I made a ton of sketches, both on the computer and various drawing pads. These were nearly all discarded but a few general concepts did find their way into the final strip.The ‘celtic fantasy’ aspect of l-5 City was an early theme, as reflected in the ‘faerie’ character. The ‘Space-monkey’ eventually moved to the Asteroid Belt and became the more gorilla-like ‘Beltapes,’ and I never did find a place for the ‘neo-Dolphins.’ A pity, really. Perhaps some will show up in a future story.
‘Dayate Veraaha’ was an early name for ‘Muc Ar Foluain.’
Mars was not always called ‘huoxing,’ but it did always have lots of robots. This is owing to the way it was colonized, with robots arriving first and preparing colonies for humans to come later.
The Colonists were not originally Asians, until it occurred to me that Asians of various ethnicities comprise half the human race and therefore should be better-represented. So I gave them Mars. I hope they appreciate it.
If anyone recognizes the robot kitty please don’t mention my unsavory past in cartoon pornography.
