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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
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.
