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.

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.
Transcript For Strip 603
Cut to: Outer space. A spacecraft is moving across the starfield, which has one very bright, almost-disc in one corner.Caption: Five days earlier, 18 million km sunward of Jupiter:
Voice 1: I still can't see it, Mike.
Voice 2: It's here, I'm sure of it.
Panel 2
Inside the spacecraft control cabin, we see Spike and Mike peering intently at the monitors.
Spike: Wait – wait! There's something – it's like a hole in the starfield.
Mike: Woah! Better put on the brakes, Spike.
Panel 3
Exterior shot, the craft approaches a large, potato-shaped, black-black object.
Spike: Jiminy Crisco! It's just a faint, fuzzy patch on the radar.
Spike: How can we even tell how big it is?
Mike: Let's see if we can swing around it.
Panel 4
Inside the cockpit again with Spike and Mike.
Spike: How can something have an albedo of ZERO?
Mike: It's not quite zero, but close enough, this far from Sol.
