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
Tall panel. The brothers are back at the mining site, and have lifted the Mass Driver into an up-right position and are setting it down next to the Conveyor in position opposite from the Drill in its bore hold (refer to the 'mining-assembly.gif' sketch).

Ernie: the sooner we dig out that mascon, the sooner we find out just how rich we are... and the sooner we can go home.

Panel 2
Bert, standing next to the up-right Mass Driver, affects a John Wayne pose (arms back, chest thrust forward, hips slightly angled).

Bert: Yup, let's get going. We're burning daylight, pilgrim.

Panel 3
Ernie crouches near the base of the Mass Driver and starts hammering one of four pitons, attached by wires to the side of the MD base, into the ground to anchor the machine.
Ernie: {GROAN} Bert, I think we have more than enough daylight to burn.
