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 932
Panel 1Focus on the large viewscreen, Johanna standing to left. On the screen we see a young British lad in a school uniform.
Johanna: Theophilus Harold Farnsworth was born in London in the year 33 S.A., or 1990 C.E. as the years were numbered then.
Johanna: Early on he demonstrated a strong gift for mathematics.
Panel 2
The viewscreen now fills the panel. Johanna's narration in captions. We see a Farnsworth as a young man in cap and gown, receiving a diploma.
Caption: 'Despite his working-class origins his talent won him numerous scholarships, and he entered Cambridge University at the age of 14.
Caption: 'Taking an accelerated curriculum, he earned his first Ph.D. there at the age of 20.'
Panel 3
Farnsworth in a chemical laboratory, early-21st-Century style.
Caption: 'But he didn't stop there. A true polymath, he branched out into other scientific fields, earning degrees in Computer Science, bio-chemistry, and theoretical physics before he was 27.'
Panel 4
Farnsworth in a pub, being shunned by his more high-toned fellows.
Caption: 'However no matter his achievements, he was never really accepted by his fellow academicians, who mostly came from the upper classes of stratified British society.
