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
Three-shot of the guys at Tobi's patio table. This time angle is reversed and Tobi is at the left, Ernie's back is to us (although we see some of his face as he looks at Tobi), and Bert on the right facing left. The net panel is essentially a large through-scene that forms in the brothers' minds.
Tobi: We are developing plants that will yield meat genetically identical to cows, chickens, fish and everything else.

Panel 2
A hydroponic garden: four long grow-trays lined up side by side, with signs indicating what they are at the ends of their light-coverings. (we might see bits of two more trays on either side of the frame). The signs have names like 'Sirloin,' 'Porkchop,' 'Flounder,' and 'Turkey Breast.'
Tobi (OP): Not only will they produce real meat for a tenth of the resources, but these plans will do so over a wide range of water, sun and temperature environments.


Panel 3
Tobi leaning back in his chair and smiling, the fingers of each hand pressing its opposite member in front of him.

Tobi: I already have a steak-fruit gourd.

Tobi (2): Its productivity has to be increased, but it does exist today.


Panel 4
Elevated shot of the three men at the table.
Tobi: When we have created and perfected enough chimera species, we will distribute free seeds everywhere.
