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
The living room session continues. In this shot Gus is starting to stand up. Mary-Francis continues to hold her son's hand.
Gus: Well, things are going to change, starting tomorrow.
Wally: Change?

Panel 2
Now Gus is standing next to the couch, assuming a command posture, talking down at Wally, who is looking up at him with some alarm (not too much).
Gus: You, my son, are going to learn your father's trade.
Wally: You mean, constructing seasteads?

Panel 3
Gus paces behind the sofa (as well as one might pace in Cererean gravity), pontificating. Wally is rolling his eyes.
Gus: A good, practical career! Working with your hands! Doing real work making real things!
Wally: What if I'm not interested in that?

Panel 4
Gus leans over the sofa, sticking his face directly in Wally's. Mary-Francis is a bit shocked but doesn't say anything. Wally is sullen.
Gus: You want to continue living in my house, eating my food, breathing my air?
Wally: I see your point.
