One Dollar Sale Continues!

Hard to believe it, but Big Head Press published it's first novel, over 20 years ago. To commemorate our stubborn longevity, we continue to stubbornly offer each of our non serialized graphic novel stories for just one mere American dollar (plus shipping). Start your holiday shopping early and light up some body's mind with one or more of these titles.

Offer only available in the United States.

Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Large panel again. We see Little Toot from behind, burn engines ablaze, pushing the berg in front of it at a diagonal angle. Toot is positioned as close as possible to the center of gravity of the potato-shaped berg, so the berg is moving “sideways,” instead of along its greater length.

Ernie (from inside ship): This is not the geodesic path to the Little Prince.

Bert (inside ship): Exactly. Our friend Li Chang doesn't need to know where we're going.


Panel 2
Horizontal panel. We see the berg from some distance, pushed along by Little Toot, which looks like a ladybug perched on a large, blue-grey potato, except this ladybug is streaming a plume of hot gas behind it.

Bert (inside ship): I can make a course correction later that will get us there.


Panel 3
Horizontal panel. Much closer on berg, we only see a crossways slice of it. On the left side, we can see the Toot's exhaust blowing backward. A quarter-way around the berg, relative to Toot, we can see the stealth ship perched on the berg, embedded in a crevasse. It has changed its surface color to match the color of the berg. Leave some space on the left side of the berg for the dialog balloon.


Bert (from Toot): Let me fly this thing, you keep a look out for 'Romulans.'
