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 103
Panel 1Nicole leaping away from us across the room towards her handbag, forsaking the bedclothes.
Caption: To those who live in pressurized enclosures, getting 'vacuumed' means something less mundane than it would to any Terran, Loonie or Martian.
Panel 2
In a near-panic, Nicole is rummaging through her hand-bag, trying to find something in the bottom. In the background, we can see the door to her room.
Caption: To combat infestations of tiny parasites, habitation sections in space or on airless planetoids can periodically be relieved of their air. They are 'vacuumed.'
Panel 3
Nicole pulls her Bubb, in its little-ball form, triumphantly out of her bag just as the door to her room opens.
Caption: The process is generally more effective, particularly against bed-bugs, when done rapidly.
Panel 4
The Bubb expands to surround Nicole just as the rushing air carries her (and other objects) towards the door.
Caption: Usually, non-pest occupants are evacuated first.
