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 1049
Panel 1Nicole and Murphy are entering another room.
Nicole: So you're certain he's still there?
Murphy: No, not yet. That facility's sub-net is closely-guarded.
Murphy: But if I can get physically close enough I might be able to verify his presence using our private comm channel.
Panel 2
Nicole and Murphy are back at the designer screen.
Murphy: Rather ironic, he'd end up near Xi'an.
Nicole: Yeah. Your former home was near Xian Xin, on Huoxing.
Nicole: Do you miss the place?
Panel 3
Now Murphy pauses, looking reflective.
Murphy: There was much I enjoyed about my life there, and some I did not ...
Murphy: But I suppose I miss my Master Po more than anything. He was good and kind and brilliant. I admired him.
Murphy: He always made me feel that I was much more … than the decorative sex toy I was designed to be.
Panel 4
Nicole puts an arm around Murphy's shoulder and kisses her cheek. Murphy responds with a wry grin.
Nicole: Well, you are the best friend I've ever had; I hope that counts for something.
Murphy: Friend-with-benefits, you mean.
Nicole: Icing on the cake.
Murphy: What's a cake without icing?
