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 467
Panel 1In the examination room, Nicole and Buford (Ventura is waiting in the lobby) with Dr. Lee -- a very slender Korean man. Buford, her Anysuit turned off and pulled down to just below her waist, is lying prone on a bench while Lee holds a scanning device over her lower back.
Dr. Lee: Ah yes, lower back stress, very common in Beltapes.
Dr. Lee: Have you ridden in a Tube recently?
Panel 2
Nicole looks embarrassed.
Buford: Yeah, my friend here thought it would be 'interesting.'
Dr. Lee: Well, that is an interesting way of putting it. The tube likely aggravated the stress you already had from local gravity.
Panel 3
Same shot. Nicole looks guilty.
Buford: So, what can be done about it?
Dr. Lee: For now, I can give you steroids for the pain.
Dr. Lee: Also, I can give you nanites to strengthen your Thoracolumbar fascia.
Panel 4
Same shot. Nicole gamely tries levity.
Nicole: I'm all for a stronger Thoracolumbo whatchamacallem!
Buford: Can you give her somet'ing that'll make her talk less?
