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 1717
Strip 290Panel 1
It's the instant after the previous panel, Eithne's avatar is disintegrating around Theo's spike, and he's extatic.
Theo: At last! I've destroyed that unctuous pest!
Theo: Now to deal with my copy.
Panel 2
The circuit board suddenly convulses violently around Theo, breaking up into square pieces.
Theo: What the devil –?
Panel 3
Theo turns around as the pieces are arranging themselves into a gigantic image of Hugo's face, and boy is he furious.
Hugo: Oh, I'm much worse than the devil.
Panel 4
The circuit board is nearly gone now, its pieces having nearly reassembled themselves into a gigantic armed and armored version of Hugo. Theo has resumed his android form.
Theo: You can't do this!! This is MY DOMAIN!
Hugo: It's mine now. You should have come up with some more original pass-phrases.
Panel 5
Theo is himself transforming into a giant armored 'bot, facing off against Hugo.
Theo: You can break into my castle but you won't kick me out!
Hugo: Kick you out? Oh, that's not my plan.
Panel 6
Hugo raises his arms to the 'sky' and shoots out energy blasts in all directions, wreaking more havok. Theo fends of some of the blasts coming his way.
Theo: I'm going to destroy your fucking castle.
