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 Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
All of this should show up in June.
Transcript For Strip 1104
Panel 1Cut to: A young, roughly 10-year-old version of Bok is sitting with a 40-ish man, Bok's Dad, on a rock, perched on the bank of a calm river. They have crude fishing poles with lines in the water – a gentle current is pulling the floats on the lines a bit to the right. Behind them on the rock is a cooler.
Bok: Don't seem to be any fish here, Dad.
Dad: Oh, they're here all right. This is a great place, but you need patience.
Dad: Anyway, it's a lovely, peaceful day. What's your hurry?
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot on Bok and his Dad.
Bok: This rock is hard and what if we get caught out here?
Dad: In the first place, city life has made you soft, and this is a good chance to toughen-up a bit.
Dad: In the second place, we're not going to get caught. The fish are gonna get caught.
Panel 3
Another angle on Bok and his Dad.
Bok: Will butt-calluses make me a better man? I don't get it.
Dad: Learned helplessness is no way to live. You need to be able to feed yourself, and that doesn't just mean microwaving your own package meal.
Dad: Besides, the girls love butt-calluses on a guy. Trust me on this one.
