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
More or less a repeat of the last panel of strip 150: Robyn, wearing the clothes she has on at the beginning of her story arc, and with a rucksack slung over her shoulder, is walking along a pedestrian causeway. Unbeknownst to her, a shadowy figure is stalking her. (We don't want to see him too clearly as yet – keep him in silhouette/shadow, but he's about 185 cm tall and weighs about 80 kilograms or so. He wears a baseball/trucker's cap.)

Caption (Robyn): 'It was a bit of a hike into town from the spaceport but I didn't mind – after being cooped up in the slammer for six months and then two weeks in Bob Cat's spaceship, I was ready to stretch my legs.'

Panel 2
The Shadowy Figure is now right behind Robyn, and is clocking her from behind with a fist.

Caption: 'Unfortunately, I let my guard down, and someone jumped me.'

Panel 3
We're back in the Café, we're facing the wall with the girls in the booth, but we're pulled back enough that we see a sea of heads and shoulders of people who have gathered around to hear Robyn's story.
Babbette: Oh, no! That's the third time this decaday!
Emily: We've acquired a mugger recently …

Panel 4
At another booth across the room, we see Wally Cooper sitting alone, listening intently.

Emily (OP): … Somebody should do something about that guy.
