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.

Transcript For Strip 804
Panel 1Back to the past. Same kitchen, but now Li's parents are screaming at each other.
Li (caption): 'Anyway, Dad's middle-management job was stressful, and he had an unfortunate tendency to bring his stress home with him.'
Panel 2
Medium close-up of young Li and his younger sister, Li (now about 10) holding her protectively as they watches their parents – we only see their shadows, and that the father is beating on the mother. The focus is on the fear and pain in the childrens' eyes.
Li (caption): 'As the years went by, things escalated.
Li: 'The screaming fights turned into fist-fights, which Dad usually won.'
Panel 3
Now Li's mom is smacking Li as his sister looks on in terror.
Li: 'And then after Mom lost a fight, it was my turn to take a beating.
Li: 'At least she never hit Jasmine, my sister.'
Panel 4
Young Li (now about 13) is standing fearfully outside the door to his parents' bedroom, eavesdropping.
Li: 'And then, in one night, it was all over.
Li: 'First I heard screaming, then banging, and then ...
Li: … silence.'
