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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!
Transcript For Strip 832
Panel 1Exterior shot of Cissonius blazing towards the sunlit face of Jupiter, which looms very large in the panel.
Mineola (from inside the boat): You don't notice until you get this close how deep and textured the cloud layers are.
Panel 2
Looking out at Jupiter's cloud-tops through one of the lounge windows. We see the backs of Dorothy Willis, Nicole, and Mineola Stinson seated on the sofa directly facing the windows. There are other seats flanking the sofa, angled towards the windows, but we only barely see the men (Fred Bellaire, Carl Hendry)
Dorothy: Imagine what it would be like to fly through those clouds.
Mineola: Or fall into them – it seems like one could fall forever.
Panel 3
Reverse view to show Mineola, Nicole, and Dorothy.
Nicole: You'd fall for about an hour through cloud layers and winds that get progressively hotter and more violent, and finally if the pressure didn't crush you first you'd go splat onto the core of metallic hydrogen.
Panel 4
Mineola and Dorothy both regard Nicole coolly, who for her part doesn't seem to care.
Mineola: So unfortunate to loose one's sense of romance at such a young age.
Dorothy: I think I've had as much romance as I can stand lately.
