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.
Not-Safe dot Kickstarter [ May 6, 2024 ]
The big news this week is that Scott is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for his other comic, the very much NSFW Not-Safe.Space.
This over-sized (8.5 x 11-inch), 48 page book contains Chapter 1 of this naughty sci-fi spin-off, featuring Eithne Lamdagan, who happens to be Alyss Roaz' 7th-great granddaughter, in case you didn't know.
The story picks up roughly 2 years after QUANTUM VIBE: Assimulation left off, as Eithne and her K'Tagon boyfriend Ralff, wander through the Galaxy of the Gamer Godz, playing as the CUSH Queen, working to re-balance a real-life RPG that her travelling companion Hugo Galvez left in a bit of a mess.
Only instead of Eithne's CUSH turning people into techno-zombies, as the Godz originally intended, Eithne wants to make them techno-Succubi/Incubi, spreading what she calls an "Erogene" factor rendering them too busy making love, to make war. And of course, Eithne gets wrapped up in her work.
The campaign will start on May 14, and the link for the pre-launch page is here.
Transcript For Strip 2431
Panel 1: How not to move your domicileStep 1: Schedule your move at the end of July, during the hottest Texas summer since 1931.
(TBH, this was kind of imposed on us by my now-former housemate, 'R,' who chose to depart at this time.
Panel 2: Step 2: During the week when you should be packing, make an emergency drive to San Antonio so your now-former Housemate can retrieve her beloved Jeep whicfh has been with her flaky mechanic friend for the last four months.
(The Jeep still won't pass the smog test but "R" was able to get it back home so she could put it on a trailer for her move.)
Panel 3: Step 3: The day before the big move, just after collecting your new keys, trip over a lip in the walkway, and break your fall with your ribs.
Panel 4: Step 4: On Moving Day, you're only 80 pct packed (because Step 2) (and you have way too much stuff anyway) so you're frantically 'tetrising' stuff into boxes while your hired helpers (who apparently never played Tetris load the big-ass U-Haul truck you rented.
Panel 5: Step 5: At the new digs, the hired helpers, apparently over-booked, haul in furniture and boxes at warp speed, dropping things wherever, leaving my place an almost un-naigable jumble of boxes and furniture.
To be fair, this flat is a 2nd-floor walk-up and it was hot as hell.
Panel 6: Step 6: Because of Step 2, you still haven't packed out your kitchen or cleaned out the old place. So you rent a smaller truck and take care of business.
Kudos to my former landlord for being understanding and allowing an extra day, and fully refunding my deposit.
Special thanks to my younger son, Ian, who worked his butt off helping his crippled old man.
