Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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.
Panel 1
Foot, Lumbar, Bok.
Lumbar: 'Hu is Aliss Roaz.' We have seen and heard this expression come up repeatedly in the last five years. Do you know what it means?
Bok: I don't know. And you don't know, either.
Lumbar: That response is not helpful, Mr. Clark. You cannot know what I do or don't know.
Panel 2
Same scene, focus on Bok.
Bok: I know that you don't know what that expression means.
Bok: Look, it means what I just said, that 'I don't know, and you don't know either.'
Bok: It means that your precious social structure makes no sense.
Bok: That there must be some reason things are the way they are, but that reason is hidden.
Panel 3
Lumbar and Bok.
Lumbar: You are speaking nonsense. Of course our social structure is entirely sensible.
Lumbar: You are still immature, Mr. Clark, and subject to immature passions.
Lumbar: That is the reason you cannot see the correctness of our society.
Bok: Yeah-yeah, if you say so.
