Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 1623
Panel 1Hugo is standing in front of another machine, touching a panel on its face. Murphy looks on.
Hugo: Five centuries ago Nicole Oresme and I derived the Quantum Vibremonic Constant of this Universe by detonating nuclear warheads in Sol's photosphere, and recording the resulting radiation 1``signatures from several different points around the system.
Murphy: I know, I was there for most of it.
Panel 2
Another angle on Murphy and Hugo, Hugo still fussing with the machinery.
Hugo: The recording gear aboard Causa Sui is far more advanced, and I'm still in contact with her, of course.
Hugo: And that rubble-filled inner system has the equivalent of a nuclear explosion in its sun's lithosphere every five seconds.
Hugo: The data set I built while Dryhaven harvested materials is more complicated but I can manage it better now as a 'tin man.'
Panel 3
Closer 2-shot as Hugo turns to face Murphy.
Hugo: And I noticed several anomalies, which all need more study, but one that jumped out at me …
Hugo: … I don't know how, or why, but ...
Hugo: … The Quantum Vibremonic Constant of the Universe has changed.
