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.
We Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Program. [ Mar 1, 2021 ]
Texas has returned to more normal winter weather conditions, power is back on and Internet connections are working. Which means Scott has new Quantum Vibe strips ready to go this week. We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience as we emerged from hibernation.
And if you haven't already, please help us keep the lights on by buying Quantum Vibe books (in print or digital) along with any of Big Head Press's other thoughtful stories.
Panel 1
The quartet at their table in the restaurant. They have drinks but their food has not yet been served.
Nicole: So who are these 'heirs' we're going to meet at this party?
Seamus: Tong Xie Po and Ma Bo Nu.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Seamus and Ventura. Seamus glances sideways at Ventura as he speaks. Ventura seems oblivious.
Seamus: They are heirs to the estate of the late Po Xu-ke, an old friend of mine.
Seamus: Po made major advances in life-extension technology, where he made his fortune.
Panel 3
The quartet at their table. Seamus looks downcast.
Nicole: Kind of ironic. Why didn't he do a rejuvenation, instead of letting himself die?
Seamus: I ... I don't know. His explanation was ... too cryptic
Panel 4
Nicole lays a hand on Seamus', in a gesture of sympathy.
Nicole: I'm sorry for being insensitive.
Nicole: It must be difficult, a man of your years, losing the friends of your youth.
Seamus: You don't know the half of it.
