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.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 1739
Panel 1Diana quickly recovers, gets all cagey.
Diana: {Ahem} well ...
Diana: This is quite sufficient as a retainer, since we'll be setting other jobs aside for this.
Diana: But, will we also get comped for expenses?
Panel 2
Three-shot of Alyss, Juan and Diana. Alyss looks at Diana blankly; Juan is looking at Diana like she's crazy, but Diana is exuding quiet confidence.
Alyss: Expenses?
Panel 3
Same shot, now Alyss roars with laughter. Juan is looking nervously at Alyss. Diana remains still.
Alyss: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Panel 4
Now Alyss looks slightly embarrassed by her outburst. Juan looks relieved. Diana smiles a bit.
Alyss: Expenses! You have certainly adapted well to our ways, Glass-hoppa.
Alyss: Tell you what – document your expenses in detail and if they look legit, I'll pay.
Caption: I didn't know what a 'glass-hoppa' was then but if I did I'd have felt insulted again. Condescending bitch.
