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.
Goal Reached! [ Dec 11, 2024 ]
We reached our goal and then some. We want to thank all of our backers for helping us reach and surpass our goal. We also want to take this time to thank everyone who has contributed to supporting our strip by buying our books and reading the strip regularly so we can earn a little advertising revenue.
Because we set this up as a flexible campaign, anyone wanting to back this campaign and get a perk can do so through this Friday. For those of you still interested in backing our campaign, click on this link or on the picture to visit our campaign!
Panel 1
Bok is entering his apartment. Santiago is sitting on the sofa, staring at the video wall and not looking too good, but Dorothy is not in the room.
Bok: Hey, I'm home.
Bok: Huh? Aunt Dorothy?
Bok: Where are you?
Santiago: Wuh … wuh … wuh ...
Panel 2
Bok is in the doorway to Dorothy's bedroom, where she is passed out on her bed. We can see an empty wine glass on the nightstand.
Bok: Aunt Dorothy? What are you doing?
Bok: Dad's completely dehydrated!
Bok: You're supposed to … hey, wake up!
Dorothy: {mumble}
Panel 3
Bok is sitting on the sofa with his father, helping him drink some water from a glass with a straw.
Bok: Here ya go, dad, have some nice, fresh water.
Bok: Good, huh?
Bok: I'll get some dinner for you and then it's bed-time.
Panel 4
Bok is in the kitchen, standing near the microwave as it heats up a meal.
SFX: Hmmmmm
Bok (thought): What can I do about this?
Bok: Aunt Dorothy's drinking is a hazard to Dad.
Bok: But if I turn her in for rehab, she'll rat me out for my night-travels.
Panel 5
Bok is back on the sofa with Santiago, hand-feeding him from the supper tray.
Bok: Have some more, Dad. Num-nummers.
Bok (thought): If only there was a way to shore up Aunt Dorothy's …
Bok (thought): Wait! That's it!
Panel 6
Bok is in the kitchen again, spooning something from a bag into an opened jar.
Bok (thought): This 'tartar sauce' should mix in easily with Dorothy's favorite cheese dip.
Bok (thought): Just enough to take the edge off her stress. Hopefully she'll drink less.
