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 1039
Panel 1Murphy is standing before a raised table upon which is a tray containing a mouse she has vivisectioned. She's wearing gloves which have blood on them. Nicole is standing a couple of meters back, looking uncomfortable.
Caption: Fifteen hours and one 10 light-year rat-transit later:
Nicole: I wish this weren't necessary.
Murphy: The rat appeared unharmed by the transit, but we have to make absolutely certain nothing has been disturbed on the sub-molecular level.
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot of Nicole and Murphy. Nicole still looking uncomfortable despite her curiosity.
Nicole: So how does he look?
Murphy: Perfectly normal. It's as if he hadn't gone anywhere but a few thousand klicks up and back.
Murphy: We can do some more runs with more rats to make sure, but I think we can progress to the next stage.
Panel 3
Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: And the next stage is – what?
Murphy: We don't have other test-animal species. And we've already tested planktronic material successfully.
Murphy: Seamus planned to be a passenger himself.
Panel 4
Close-up on Nicole, looking nervous.
Nicole: But, Seamus is … he isn't here now.
Nicole: And you're not a biological organism.
Nicole: So that leaves … ME.
