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

Strip 33

Panel 1
Looking past B and E at G and F. Guy is looking annoyed.

Guy: You mean to tell me you made this Reginald person King just because he was here first?

Bert: You gotta understand what things were like back then.

Panel 2
Flash-back scene, showing some of the original settlers, in pressure suits, standing around the frozen corpses of their dead comrades, among large chunks of loose ice. Bert and Ernie appear as heads in little inset panels.

Bert: The original settlers really had it rough.

Ernie: Of the first 100, only 35 survived after three Terran years.

Bert: They had to learn how to live in the ice.

Ernie: There were a lot of accidents.

Panel 3
Another flash-back scene – some settlers wearing heavy clothing but not pressure suits, carrying various drilling tools, in a panic as the top of the ice cavern they’re in collapses on them. We see Guy and Bert and Ernie in little inset panels.

Guy: How dangerous can ice be? It’s frozen water. And you have almost no gravity here.

Bert (from out of panel): And no air pressure or heat, but what we can create.

Ernie (from out of panel): The ice has uneven density -- it leaks here, collapses there.
