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.
QV on a short break [ Jul 15, 2026 ]
QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.
In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.
Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.
Transcript For Strip 521
Panel 1In the girls' hotel room. Seamus is seated on the side of the bed, the girls are on the floor in a semi-circle around him. (Nicole to his left, Buford to his right, Ventura in front of him.)
Seamus: (to Nicole) ... and so then you arranged the scene to look like it had been a fight between Ma Bo and the chavs?
Nicole: It sheemed like a good idea.
Panel 2
Looking past Seamus at the girls. Nicole and Buford look unhappy, but Ventura looks at him with dreamy eyes.
Seamus: I'm not sure what I find more deplorable ...
Seamus: That Nicole would so stupidly blunder into a dangerous situation ...
Seamus: ... or that Buford would be so quick to take a life.
Panel 3
Reverse view: Buford pleads her case to Seamus.
Buford: But he was gonna RAPE her!
Seamus: And there was no other way you could stop him than by killing him?
Panel 4
Four-shot, as the girls establish their consensus, Seamus looks tired.
Buford: Well ... I think it was the BEST way.
Ventura: I have no problem with it.
Nicole: Think'a all the future rapes that've now been rennered ... renderded ... avoided.
