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 148
Panel 1Nicole and Seamus are settling into their seats from the overhead hatch on the shuttle. We can see the Android driver in the pilot's seat. Seamus's eyes look strange, and Nicole is guiding him in.
Seamus: My sight's improving slightly, but not fast enough.
Seamus: Nicole, you're going to have to manage for me.
Nicole: Just a sec and you'll be strapped in.
Panel 2
Seamus has pulled his Screen, currently smart-phone sized, out of a coat pocket and is handing to Nicole.
Seamus: I meant, you'll have to manage Watson here.
Nicole: Your Screen? What's this for?
Seamus: Strap yourself in and I'll explain.
Panel 3
Nicole now has 'Watson' enlarged to about 10x15 cm and is touching its face with one finger. We can see Seamus in the background-right, with a hand over his eyes.
Seamus: Now, open the programs for 'RANGER,' 'EMP-F' and 'LSR-S' – their icons are in the lower right.
Nicole: And these are for what?
Panel 4
Close-up on Seamus – his hand is lowered, and we see his eyes are still afflicted.
Seamus: For getting us home alive.
