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.

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter 2

The epic Not-Safe.Space story continues with Part 2, and Scott requires funds to publish a print volume of _Not-Safe.Space_ Chapter 2.

This large-format, 48-page trade paperback is a must for fans of Eithne Lamdagan, aka The CUSH Queen, and her friends

The campaign begins Sunday, April 6 and concludes Tuesday, May 8.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Angle so we see the cockpit of the Novo Argo in the foreground, Reggie and Babbette standing on the dock in the background. Reggie is gesturing towards the poop-deck with the pilot's seat, which sits behind an old-fashioned ship's wheel, in turn behind a classically-styled binnacle, to which is attached a small, contemporary control panel.
The pilot's seat functionally looks something like this:

But in keeping with the whimsical look of this 'cute carrack,' give the chair a more suitable styling.
Reggie: Anyway, we don't actually drive Novo Argo.
Reggie: It has an A.I. Helmsman that actually steers the yacht according to the captain's orders.

Panel 2
Babbette has her arms crossed. Reggie is still putting on the jolly.
Babbette: Who's the captain?
Reggie: I am. You are the first mate.

Panel 3
Babbette is frowning, and Reggie is back-pedaling.
Reggie: I called dibs ...
Reggie: … err ...

Panel 4
Reggie bows to Babbette, with a flourish. Now Babbette is smiling like a contented cat.
Reggie: … but I would be only too happy to promote you to co-captain.
