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 836
Panel 1The Clerk and Murphy are seated at a table in a night-club. The Clerk has a frozen margarita; Murphy has her usual lubricant. The Clerk is a bit intimidated by Murphy's stoicism.
Clerk: So … um … tell me about yourself?
Murphy: Until 85 days ago I was the bound concubine of one of the richest men on Huoxing. Po Xu-ke made his fortune developing longevity treatments, but then allowed himself to die.
Panel 2
Now the Clerk is more intimidated by who Murphy is.
Murphy: Afterward I was manumitted and have been traveling with Seamus O'Murchadha, the celebrated physicist and inventor.
Murphy: Along with his assistant, Nicole Oresme, the famous 'Sun-Diver Girl.'
Murphy: What about you?
Panel 3
The Clerk is on the spot.
Clerk: Oh! I … uh …. well, I manage the Quantum Express office here on Ganymede, as you know.
Clerk: And … uh … in my spare time I write about local politics for an altvlog …
Clerk: … um … I guess that's not as exciting ...
Panel 4
Murphy looks at the Clerk coolly.
Murphy: What do you say we skip past this awkward warm-up and go have the sex you really wanted anyway?
Clerk: Can't I at least PRETEND to be seducing you?
