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 2091
Panel 1His mostly-finished glass of Cold One on the table beside his recliner. Jerome is holding up something that looks like an old Flip Phone.
Jerome: Mork calling Orson, come in, Orson.
Voice from phone: Stop calling me Orson. And, you're three minutes late.
Panel 2
Looking over Jerome's shoulder at the 'flip-phone,' there's a small image of the voice's owner, Jean-Luc. He does look like Orson Welles.
Jerome: Sorry, boss. Had to finish collating data.
Jean-Luc: Never mind the excuses. Give me a summary and then send your data.
Panel 3
Focus on Jerome
Jerome: I've spoken with officers of large businesses, owners of small businesses, free-lancers, journeymen, physicians, journalists, long-time residents, recent immigrants and people at all levels of the beneficencias.
Jean-Luc: 'Beneficencias'?
Panel 4
Different angle.
Jerome: Benevolent societies. Most do charity work, although some promote the arts, some promote various religions and philosophies, and one of those, 'Mentes Libres,' seems to be at the core of what makes this place tick.
Jean-Luc: How does greed-based economics square with 'benevolence'?
Jerome: I'm not sure I can explain that.
