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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
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.
