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 3
Looking past Seamus at the girls. Nicole, still inebriated, is giving Seamus a mock-salute. Buford is more subdued, and Ventura looks apprehensive.
Nicole: Roger wilco, bossaroonie!
Buford: Understood, sir. I'll do my job.
Ventura: But, what is to become of me? Nicole said ...
Panel 4
Two-shot of Seamus and Ventura (we'll also see Nicole in the frame), Seamus looks at the android tenderly.
Seamus: Veronica, I promise that I will do my best to honor Po Xu-ke's wishes for you.

Seamus: But, you'll have to trust me.
