Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2044
Panel 1Back on Nyumbani, the group is seated around a dining table having breakfast together. Melissa is refreshing drinks.
Caption: Breakfast-time at the farm on Nyumbani:
Albert: I think I can finish re-wiring the pasture fence today.
Yolanda: Good. We can't afford to lose any more thoats.
Sandra: I wish they hadn't put predator animals on this world.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Sandra and Tom, seated together.
Tom: They are needed for ecological balance.
Tom: They also keep competing predators – that's us – on our toes.
Sandra: Speak for yourself. I'm vegan.
Panel 3
Yolanda points at Sandra's plate and laughs. Melissa, standing behind Yolanda, suddenly looks like she's been poked.
Yolanda: Vegan? When you drink thoat's milk and eat turducken eggs?
Sandra: I only eat the whites. No one's perfect, and I'm not the one who forbade the growing of chimera fruits.
Panel 4
Yolanda and Albert turn their attention to Melissa, who looks very sad, as she puts the pitcher she's carrying on the table.
Melissa: Uh, hey guys, I'm sorry ...
Melissa: … but I have to go, now.
