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
Boner in his chair, in an on-line video-chat session. Through the back of the holographic screen we can see six windows with small faces in them. Four of the faces are male and two are female.
Caption: Boner liked to keep in touch with his old university friends back in the Massachusetts sector.
Face 1: So Phranq, did you get your property tax bill this week?
Face 2: Oh, man, did I.

Panel 2
Looking past Boner at the holoscreen.
Face 2: Three thousand continentals more than last year! And I live in a shoe-box!
Face 3: Glad I'm a renter. I just have to worry about income tax. And sales tax.
Face 4: Oh, you'll just pay your landlord's tax through rent surcharges.

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Boner, fingertips pressed together, looking thoughtful.
Face 5 (OP): Yeah, and don't forget the Tanglenet-connection tax.
Face 6 (OP): And the excise tax on that fine Scotch yer drinkin'.
Face 1: Not to mention the tax tax. It's Taxachussets, man.

Panel 4
Pull back so we can see Boner and the six faces through the back of the holoscreen. Boner is suddenly looking excited.
Boner: You know what?
Boner: SCREW MASSACHUSETTS!
