Back The Campaign!

It's not too late. Plenty of time to back our campaign. Many perks available including an autographed print copy of Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3).

Campaign ends December 10th. Click on this link or on the picture to back our campaign!

Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun!

Second times a charm. The epic QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War story concludes with Part 3, and we require funds to publish a print volume. To sweeten the pot a bit, a 3 pack of the print and PDF copies of all three parts of the This Means War story is a new perk. The stickers and magnet add-ons for the Project for a Free Cosmos concept (explained in the story) are available. And one final incentive for the first 20 who get there first, an add-on for a Free Cosmos Project coaster (1 per perk).

The campaign starts today, Sunday, November 10th, and will conclude in 31 days.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Three-shot of the guys at Tobi's patio table. This time angle is reversed and Tobi is at the left, Ernie's back is to us (although we see some of his face as he looks at Tobi), and Bert on the right facing left. The net panel is essentially a large through-scene that forms in the brothers' minds.
Tobi: We are developing plants that will yield meat genetically identical to cows, chickens, fish and everything else.

Panel 2
A hydroponic garden: four long grow-trays lined up side by side, with signs indicating what they are at the ends of their light-coverings. (we might see bits of two more trays on either side of the frame). The signs have names like 'Sirloin,' 'Porkchop,' 'Flounder,' and 'Turkey Breast.'
Tobi (OP): Not only will they produce real meat for a tenth of the resources, but these plans will do so over a wide range of water, sun and temperature environments.


Panel 3
Tobi leaning back in his chair and smiling, the fingers of each hand pressing its opposite member in front of him.

Tobi: I already have a steak-fruit gourd.

Tobi (2): Its productivity has to be increased, but it does exist today.


Panel 4
Elevated shot of the three men at the table.
Tobi: When we have created and perfected enough chimera species, we will distribute free seeds everywhere.
