Story & Art: Scott Bieser - Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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.
Not Safe [ Apr 24, 2022 ]
Starting Monday 4-25-2022, with part 3 of QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War, each strip installment has been extended to have six panels rather than four. We believe this will enable a smoother, fuller story flow for the reader. We will also be limiting uploads of QUANTUM VIBE to one installment per week so Scott has time to develop a new spin-off strip, Not-Safe.
Not-Safe will be a NSFW strip set in the Assimulation galaxy depicted in Volume 5, with Eithne Lamdagan as the central character. Our hope is it will bring in enough money so Scott can hire a colorist again and he can start producing more QUANTUM VIBE strips. More info coming soon.
Transcript For Strip 172
Panel 1Seamus, Vanessa, Nicole seated at a restaurant table. Décor looks like an actual Italian bistro. Wine has been served, as have salads, but no main course yet.
Seamus: I must say, this Caesar dressing is quite good.
Nicole: Everything here is. I like the atmosphere of the place, too.
Nicole: So what is it you need to tell me?
Panel 2A
Closer 2-shot of Vanessa and Nicole. Nicole is holding her half-finished wine glass.
Vanessa: I haven't finished my wine, darling.
Nicole: Quit stalling. Or were all your lectures about honest dealing just a load of brack?
Panel 3
Vanessa puts her wine glass down, and steels herself for a confession.
Vanessa: Very well, my child.
Vanessa: Remember how you asked who your father is, and I explained that as a clone you don't have a father?
Nicole: Yes … ?
Panel 4
Three-shot of Seamus, Vanessa and Nicole. Nicole does a take. Seamus smiles and wiggles his fingers at her.
Vanessa: Well, in fact, you have eleven fathers, genetically speaking.
Vanessa: And this walrus here is one of them.
