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
Medium close-up of a smiling Tobi. Leave room for dialog.
Tobi: One of my favorite writers, Voltaire, said, 'An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.'
Tobi: I tend to agree, but here's my problem:
Tobi: I have a lot of financial power – maybe too much power.
Panel 2
Looking from behind Tobi at Arana, Bert and Ernie. Tobi is gesturing as he speaks. (We see them mostly from shoulders-up, to leave room for dialog.
Tobi: My home is a whole world.
Tobi: Yes, a small world, but The Little Prince still has thousands of inhabitants.
Tobi: That is a lot of power, and I don't want to be tempted to abuse it.
Panel 3
Another close-up on Tobi, looking a bit winsome.
Tobi: So I borrowed an idea from Gilbert & Sullivan's opera, Utopia, Limited.
Tobi: In that opera, it was the duty of the 'Public Exploder' to to blow up King Paramount, if necessary to prevent 'rascality.'
Panel 4
Tobi in the center, flanked by Mac and Nisa, who now stand with their arms crossed in front of him, looking at him with appraising eyes. We see the backs of Bert, Ernie, Arana, and Drenkowski's heads in the lower foreground.
Tobi: Now, I have seven people who can tell me to knock it off – and make their objection stick.
