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.Space Kickstarter! [ Mar 9, 2026 ]
UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!
UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.
Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!
(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)
For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.
Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.
Transcript For Strip 1098
I made a ton of sketches, both on the computer and various drawing pads. These were nearly all discarded but a few general concepts did find their way into the final strip.The ‘celtic fantasy’ aspect of l-5 City was an early theme, as reflected in the ‘faerie’ character. The ‘Space-monkey’ eventually moved to the Asteroid Belt and became the more gorilla-like ‘Beltapes,’ and I never did find a place for the ‘neo-Dolphins.’ A pity, really. Perhaps some will show up in a future story.
‘Dayate Veraaha’ was an early name for ‘Muc Ar Foluain.’
Mars was not always called ‘huoxing,’ but it did always have lots of robots. This is owing to the way it was colonized, with robots arriving first and preparing colonies for humans to come later.
The Colonists were not originally Asians, until it occurred to me that Asians of various ethnicities comprise half the human race and therefore should be better-represented. So I gave them Mars. I hope they appreciate it.
If anyone recognizes the robot kitty please don’t mention my unsavory past in cartoon pornography.
