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
In the Water Bros. Café. Babbette the Elder is at her cashier's stand, leaning on her elbows, looking closer to her true age. Bert is standing next to her, looking similarly grave.

Bert: How's Emily doing now?

Babbette: Resting quietly. I've got an autodoc giving her mild sedatives.

Panel 2
Change to a side view so that we can see both Bert and Babbette looking in the same direction, towards the front of the cafe.

Babbette: I'm also worried about my granddaughter.

Panel 3
Babbette the Younger and Ernie are sitting side-by side in one of the booths. There are a couple of untouched drinks on the table before them. She is leaning against his shoulder, and his arm is laying across her shoulders. She has a haunted, thousand-year stare. He's doing his best to be strong for her.

Babbette the Elder (off-panel): She and Emily are, well, I guess you'd call it best-frenemies. I wish her mother were here.

Panel 4
Back at the cashier stand, Babbette the Elder is now leaning her head against Bert's shoulder struggling not to cry. He has his arm around her back, giving her a reassuring half-hug.

Bert: Ernie has strong shoulders. And so have I.
