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 man who raised his hand in the last strip is now standing up, speaking to Pilgrim.
Man: Where are the free healthcare clinics?
Man: I have some kind of rash I want to get checked out.
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Pilgrim, looking peeved.
Pilgrim: First, it's 'bohn-AIR,' just like I said it.
Pilgrim: Second, there is no free healthcare in the belt, unless you count charity organizations.
Audience (OP): {GASP!}

Panel 3
Another angle on Pilgrim, looking exasperated, waving his arms.
Pilgrim: Look people, there are no government services here, because there is no government.
Pilgrim: No government means no taxes. Isn't that what you signed up for?

Panel 4
View of a section of the audience. Some people seem to look satisfied, others not so much. One woman, Marsha Plotner (about 45, a bit plump, waring a faux-fur stole), is complaining.
Plotner: But ... healthcare is a human right!
Pilgrim (thought, OP): {sigh}
