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.
Goal Reached! [ Dec 11, 2024 ]
We reached our goal and then some. We want to thank all of our backers for helping us reach and surpass our goal. We also want to take this time to thank everyone who has contributed to supporting our strip by buying our books and reading the strip regularly so we can earn a little advertising revenue.
Because we set this up as a flexible campaign, anyone wanting to back this campaign and get a perk can do so through this Friday. For those of you still interested in backing our campaign, click on this link or on the picture to visit our campaign!

Adileh: Don't they understand what a powder-keg they're creating here?
Panel 2
The Bartender and Adileh
Bartender: Eventually, yeah. So they brought in some company … uh … doxies.
Adileh: Doxies? As in, sex-workers?
Bartender: Whatever y' wanna call 'em, dey're all in th' 'Rising Sun' franchise brothels.
Panel 3
The Bartender and Adileh – in the background, a male patron approaches the bar.
Bartender: I've, uh, made a few deliveries there. Don't like to, though.
Bartender: Dose poor girls look like they've been rode just about to death.
Adileh: Why do they stay in the brothels?
Panel 4
The Bartender and Adileh – the male patron has sidled up next to Adileh and is leering at her. She tries not to notice.
Bartender: Are you kiddin'? With all th' hungry wolves around, those brothels are th' only places dose girls are reasonably safe.
Adileh: I see what you mean.
