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.

Murphy: Er … you're right, it is your turn.
Hugo: Next stop, the iron rubble pile in Andromeda where we ...
Panel 4
Exterior of Polyphemus popping into the new scene, a familiar starscape. But instead of the rubble pile they find the ringed star where it resided, but more from a distance.
Murphy: That's the right star system but we're more than 75 gigameters away from where we should be.
Hugo: Someone put up an Oresme Shield around the system.
Hugo: And whoever did that will know we're here quite soon.
