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 1The visitors' area at the jail. A row of windows separated by partitions, with visitors on one side and prisoners on the other. No visible phone handsets. Two guards are visible at one end of the room. Bomba (Buford's mom) sits (uncomfortably, in a chair designed for longer legs) at one of the windows, talking to Buford, seated on the other side of the glass.

Buford: I know, momma.
