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.

Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3) - By Scott Bieser

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.

Please help Scott keep QUANTUM VIBE alive!

Transcript For Strip 1104

Panel 1
Cut 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.
