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.

Panel 1
Bok, Zander, Alyss.
Bok: But what about the population decline?
Alyss: This was not a deliberate policy, but an unintended consequence of your system.
Alyss: Actually, it's a consequence of all advanced welfare-states.
Alyss: From cradle to grave, your rulers take care of all your needs.
Panel 2
Bok (smiling wryly), Zander (looking embarrassed), Alyss.
Bok: Well, except for sex.
Alyss: Indeed, but you have birth control, and guaranteed old-age care, while rejuvenation tech is denied to you.
Alyss: In my culture, there is no welfare-state. We tend to have lots of children, so we have a network of people we know we can rely on if we need help.
Panel 3
Diana, Bok, Zander, Alyss
Diana: How many children do you have?
Alyss: I have four sons and five daughters. Eighty-four grandchildren. Six hundred seventy-three great-grandchildren, and ...
Bok: Okay, okay, we get it. Should we call you 'Gran'ma Alyss?'
Alyss: No.
