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 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.
