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.
Kickstarter Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
All of this should show up in June.
Transcript For Strip 2299
(Captions throughout)Panel 1
I live in a 60-year-old rental house, and last week my landlord informed me that he was going to re-level the foundation (which did need doing), starting the following wednesday.
On Wednesday, after my housemate had taken the day off from work to keep an eye on the work crews, we learned that the start date was going to be Thursday. Which was the last day of the Roswell, Texas Deluxe indiegogo campaign.
Fortunately I was able to get everything done for Thursday’s strip but that morning it was up to me to keep an eye on a dozen workmen swarming in and around the house.
I took pictures, and as the interruption is going to blow my time for doing Monday’s strip, y’all get a pictorial instead.
The QUANTUM ViBE story will resume Thursday.
Panel 2
The process involves cutting into the floor at
select locations, and installing stone posts
as parts of the foundation get jacked up.
They covered all furniture near the work with plastic sheets, and lay tarps to mark off the sections to be dug.
The inside work involved two sections; the den:

And the hallway leading back to the bedrooms and bathrooms:
They started digging with hammers and shovels.
Panel 4
Then they brought in the big guns.
Panel 5
As the holes got deeper, they filled wheelbarrows of dirt outside, dumped on the driveway.
All the inside holes were this deep!
Panel 6
They also dug holes at various places around the perimeter, generating big piles of dirt and demolishing a wooden deck.
Those piles magaged to spawn clods of mud all over walkways, and bits came into the house as workers (and I, taking photos) trudged in and out.
The next steps were to fill the holes and re-tile the floring.
This is covered in Part 2.
