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.

Transcript For Strip 1099
In January 2001 I found another job in the gaming industry and ceased work on ‘Conquest of the Milky way’ because I didn’t want muddy I.P. issues with my new employer.That job lasted seven months before I ran screaming for the hills and decided I was through with the computer game biz. However, I did manage to build a few models with 3D Studio which I’ll show here because what the hell.

Having quit the games business I shifted mental gears and re-purposed my ‘back-story’ as a web-comic concept, re-titled ‘The Murphy Drive.’ I designed a few characters and drew four installments before I was side-tracked again with two other projects, ‘A Drug War Carol’ and ‘The Probability Broach’.

There followed a commissioned short Graphic novel project about the life of Frédéric Bastiat which has never been published, a move to Cheyenne, and several more projects with Big Head Press. During this time I continued developing the story in my spare time until I was ready to pitch the project. With a name change and some other tweaks Frank accepted and the rest is future history.
Tomorrow I will show how I put together a typical QUANTUM VIBE strip.
