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.

Panel 1
Seamus and Sharkisian are in a treatment room. Prominent in the frame is a large, oblong open box that looks like a high-tech opened casket. Seamus is just wearing a towel wapped around his loins, and is looking at the box ruefully.
Seamus: Are you sure it's large enough for me?
Sharkisian: I had it re-scaled to your dimensions.
Panel 2
Sharkisian looks over the shoulder of a technician (a female furry) who is manning a control console. Seamus is dithering.
Seamus: You've screened the protocols for all ambiguities?
Sharkisian: Do you need help getting into the vat, Dr. O Murchadha?
Panel 3
Seamus is in the vat (sans towel but we only see the upper half of him). Sharkisian is standing next to the vat, tapping and scribbling on a hand-held Screen.
Seamus: You said I'll come out 50 kilos lighter?
Sharkisian: At most, but no guarantees except that you'll stop growing.
Panel 4
A lid has formed over the vat, and it fills with a gas which instantly renders Seamus unconscious.
Sharkisian: Pleasant dreams, O Murchadha.
