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.
Project Complete! [ Oct 31, 2023 ]
We made it! We exceeded our target goal and we're wrapping up the loose ends. Big thanks to our project backers. We're your biggest fans for supporting our project to create the Omnibus hard bound edition of Quantum Vibe: The Murphy Drive, a collection of the first three volumes of the Quantum Vibe saga.
Over the next week or so, Scott will be assembling the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books and other items on hand and ready for ship in December 2023. The E-book edition of the Omnibus should be available for download from DriveThruComics to those backers who selected that award. Vouchers will be sent via email.
Transcript For Strip 2203
Panel 1Inside the clothiers'. Albert and Ka speak with a fish on a bicycle, the store saleclerk. The 'bicycle' is a self-balancing contrivance with flexible arms much like on William Montoya's hoverchair
Ka: Got a customer for ya, Beatrice.
Ka: Also I need help with some math.
Salesclerk: I'll be happy to help.
Panel 2
Albert glances about as Ka and the clerk bend over a pair of screens, exchanging data.
Albert (thought): Of course. The local rulers charge 15 percent on currency exchanges. So folks play games.
Ka: Wait … 12 percent? That's way high.
Clerk: Not for this amount. Unless your guy is actually buying something.
Panel 3
Ka leads Albert over to a full-length screen. Currently shows his reflection.
Ka: Of course he is! Come over here, Nero.
Albert: Ah … I'm Adam.
Ka: Whatever. I've got just the outfit for you.
Panel 4
Now Albert's 'reflection' shows him wearing a different outfit. More punk-pirate-ish.
Ka: What do you think?
Albert: Not sure whether I should be saying 'shiver me timbers' or 'baise la police.'
