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
The living room session continues. In this shot Gus is starting to stand up. Mary-Francis continues to hold her son's hand.
Gus: Well, things are going to change, starting tomorrow.
Wally: Change?

Panel 2
Now Gus is standing next to the couch, assuming a command posture, talking down at Wally, who is looking up at him with some alarm (not too much).
Gus: You, my son, are going to learn your father's trade.
Wally: You mean, constructing seasteads?

Panel 3
Gus paces behind the sofa (as well as one might pace in Cererean gravity), pontificating. Wally is rolling his eyes.
Gus: A good, practical career! Working with your hands! Doing real work making real things!
Wally: What if I'm not interested in that?

Panel 4
Gus leans over the sofa, sticking his face directly in Wally's. Mary-Francis is a bit shocked but doesn't say anything. Wally is sullen.
Gus: You want to continue living in my house, eating my food, breathing my air?
Wally: I see your point.
