Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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 1104
Panel 1Cut to: A young, roughly 10-year-old version of Bok is sitting with a 40-ish man, Bok's Dad, on a rock, perched on the bank of a calm river. They have crude fishing poles with lines in the water – a gentle current is pulling the floats on the lines a bit to the right. Behind them on the rock is a cooler.
Bok: Don't seem to be any fish here, Dad.
Dad: Oh, they're here all right. This is a great place, but you need patience.
Dad: Anyway, it's a lovely, peaceful day. What's your hurry?
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot on Bok and his Dad.
Bok: This rock is hard and what if we get caught out here?
Dad: In the first place, city life has made you soft, and this is a good chance to toughen-up a bit.
Dad: In the second place, we're not going to get caught. The fish are gonna get caught.
Panel 3
Another angle on Bok and his Dad.
Bok: Will butt-calluses make me a better man? I don't get it.
Dad: Learned helplessness is no way to live. You need to be able to feed yourself, and that doesn't just mean microwaving your own package meal.
Dad: Besides, the girls love butt-calluses on a guy. Trust me on this one.
