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
Two-shot of Merry and Pablo. Merry is standing in front of Pablo's desk, looking frustrated. Pablo holds the recording mini-disc (which Bert had in the previous strip) betwixt thumb and forefinger and stares at it bemusedly as he speaks to Merry.
Pablo: Assuming the recording shows what he says it does, do you really want to continue with this hearing?
Panel 2
Swing the camera around so we see Merry from the front, a bit flustered, trying to recover from her blunder. Behind her we can see her clients, and one of them (Lawrence) speaks up.
Merry: We, Sv. Rosenberg, these could be CGI and …
Lawrence: Stop it, Merry. He's got us. Let's just salvage what we can.

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Rosenberg, leaning forward to talk to Merry.
Pablo: Back in the bad old days, I was a lawyer in what is now the Texas Sector.
Pablo: In law school, they told us to never ask a question to which you do not know the answer, or an open-ended question.
Panel 4
Looking over Pablo's shoulder at Merry, who is running one hand through the hair on the side of her head, looking flushed with frustration and embarrassment. Pablo is still leaning forward in this frame.
Pablo: For what it's worth, though, with the evidence at hand, there really isn't anything you could've done to get your clients off.
