Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 683
Nicole peers intently at the circuit panel while Seamus rolls his eyes.
Nicole: Hmmm. Hip bone's connected to the leg bone, leg-bone's connected to the knee bone ...
Seamus: Do you have any idea what you're looking for?
Panel 5
Nicole shows the circuit board to Seamus.
Nicole: A mistake so simple you'd overlook it.
Nicole: For example, this gluon diverter looks like it was installed backwards.
Seamus: What?
Panel 6
Seamus has the circuit board now and is doing something to it with a tool.
Nicole: Don't feel badly. Those diverters look like they can fit either way – a poor component design if you ask me.
Seamus: By Jeffrey, you're right!
Panel 7
The machine now fully assembled, springs to life. A 3-d holographic display appears above the dome.
Seamus: You were right! It's working!
Seamus: We can now see small planetoids going out to more than 800 million kilometers!
Panel 8
Nicole smiles triumphantly while Seamus peers intently at the holoscreen, moving his fingers around the margins.
Nicole: So, is this a good time to ask for a raise?
Seamus: Not so fast. We have to find that killer rock first.
