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.
Project Complete! [ Oct 31, 2023 ]
We made it! We exceeded our target goal and we're wrapping up the loose ends. Big thanks to our project backers. We're your biggest fans for supporting our project to create the Omnibus hard bound edition of Quantum Vibe: The Murphy Drive, a collection of the first three volumes of the Quantum Vibe saga.
Over the next week or so, Scott will be assembling the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books and other items on hand and ready for ship in December 2023. The E-book edition of the Omnibus should be available for download from DriveThruComics to those backers who selected that award. Vouchers will be sent via email.
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?
