Referral Contest Update [ Jun 17, 2021 ]
UPDATE: Art in progress
We could use your help getting more people to contribute to our campaign. So, we're launching a referral contest. The campaign backer whose referrals raise the most money for our campaign, will win a one-of-a-kind ink-on-paper drawing of Alyss, Hugo and Murphy, drawn and water-colored by QUANTUM VIBE creator Scott Bieser!
At right is a "study" (in the art biz, a sort of practice run on the final drawing) of what you might win: Alyss, Hugo and Murphy enjoying a rare vacation on Nuveau Mo'orea. Scott is still working on it while he's not making the strip, and we plan to reveal works in progress very soon. It will be a unique creation a real QUANTUM VIBE fan would love to have.
You must have an IndieGogo account to participate. Go to this page for more info on how to participate.
Get started now. The campaign ends, July 5th, 2021.
Transcript For Strip 1851
Panel 1Diana (arm still in sling) looks on as The Mechanic and a couple of her underlings work on the Super-flyer, which is suspended above the floor on a simple lift-rack. Dong is also standing by, watching.
Caption: After that, I was treated warmly, as if by letting them cut my arm open I passed some sort of initiation.
Caption: The Mechanic and her helpers scoured the Super-flyer, removing bits and adding other bits in, as Gyeon-Hoon ordered.
Panel 2
In a workman's-type lounge, Diana is in a happily animated conversation with one of the characters that was pointing weapons at her previously.
Caption: Turns out one of her security guys … called himself 'Grendel' … was also a fan of The Screaming Bosons, one of my favorite dance bands.
Caption: Grendel said he was a roady for them once, years ago. He told some hilarious stories of their wacky hijinks.
Panel 3
The Super-flyer is back on its wheels again. One of the flunkies is pointing out something something on the dashboard to Areum. Diana is getting a farewell hug from The Mechanic.
Caption: Finally, all the modifications were complete.
Caption: My arm was still healing, but we needed to be on our way.
Panel 4
Diana is in her usual seat in the Super-flyer as it rises from the garage floor. Angled view so we see Diana in the flyer and also The Mechanic, her Assistant, and Grendel, and the two flunkies standing on the floor and waving good-bye.
Caption: What strange, wonderful people, living in the dark underbelly of the City.
Caption: I didn't know when I'd see any of them again, but I had a gut feeling that I would, someday.
