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.
Transcript For Strip 12
Panel 1Wearing a poncho over her dead Anysuit, and cloth slippers on her feet, carrying her travel bag, Nicole slinks into a storefront sporting a sign: Anysuit Select
Nicole: What a time for my Anysuit to crat out.
Nicole: Now I have to spend my rent money on a new one.
Panel 2
At the sales counter, the clerk – a 30-ish looking woman with upswept hair and cheek-bones – points to a display Screen next to her, which shows another Anysuit. Not on a fashion model, but laid out flat with a variety of surrounding text boxes highlighting its features.
Clerk: We recommend this model especially for the traveling professional – it's durable, recharges quickly, and maintains a comfortable skin temperature between -30 and +40 degrees ambient.
Panel 3
Nicole in a dressing room, having donned the new Anysuit and closing its front-flap seal.
Nicole: This interview'd better go well or I'll be both jobless and homeless.
Panel 4
Back at the sales counter, Nicole has activated the suit to display the interview-attire she had purchased earlier.
Clerk: An excellent choice!
Nicole: You think so? Well, I guess I'm running with this anyway.
