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.
Project Complete! [ Oct 31, 2023 ]
We made it! We exceeded our target goal and we're wrapping up the loose ends. Big thanks to our project backers. We're your biggest fans for supporting our project to create the Omnibus hard bound edition of Quantum Vibe: The Murphy Drive, a collection of the first three volumes of the Quantum Vibe saga.
Over the next week or so, Scott will be assembling the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books and other items on hand and ready for ship in December 2023. The E-book edition of the Omnibus should be available for download from DriveThruComics to those backers who selected that award. Vouchers will be sent via email.
Transcript For Strip 573
Panel 1Seamus, Nicole and Murphy stand inside the Weapons Shop of Escher -- a crazy, which-way-is-up place with display counters oriented in all directions, like the iconic M.C. Escher 'Relativity' drawing, only with ramps instead of steps. The trio looks around -- Seamus approvingly, Murphy curiously, Nicole confusedly.
Nicole: Ulp!
Murphy: Fascinating.
Seamus: I see they've put in a new section for -- crossbows?
Panel 2
Our trio are approached by a shop clerk, a handsome middle-aged woman bearing the name-tag, 'Cathy.' She enters the frame from a different angle than that which the trio are standing.
Cathy: Greetings! May I help you find something?
Nicole: Gourd knows I'd need help finding my own ass in this place.
Panel 3
Cathy listens intently to Seamus and Nicole.
Seamus: My associate is looking for an alternative to her zringer, something not subject to nullification fields.
Nicole: And easier to carry than a shovel.
Panel 4
Cathy is leading the trio through the store, walking across the variously-angled ramps and platforms
Cathy: I never thought of a shovel as being a weapon.
Nicole: I'm very effective with it, but I can't find one that'll fit in my belt-pack.
