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
At the hearing, Emily sits down, still sobbing, as Guy rises. A sympathetic-looking Pablo addresses Emily.
Pablo: Okay Emily, that's enough for now.
Pablo: Let's see what Guy has to say.
Panel 2
In the background left, Guy is standing, looking a bit uncomfortable. He is holding a 15x20cm tablet, which contains his notes and documents. In the foreground right, we see Pablo in profile (we need to cheat on the angle a bit here), with his eyes and chin lowered, indicating he is nodding in response to Guy.
Guy: Pablo, if it's okay, I will fill in the rest of what happened?
Guy: Okay, well ...
Panel 3
Guy standing more confidently, consulting his tablet as he speaks. We see some of the audience behind him, including Libby, who is presently looking at her shoes.
Guy: Libby has already filed a statement in this hearing, and is here to testify if necessary.
Guy: In her statement she said she was pruning bamboo at about 130 meters above the ground ...
Panel 4
Flashback panel: Libby, wearing gardening/work clothes and gloves, is falling among the tall bamboo shoots, several broken branches tumbling down with them. She is flailing and screaming.
Caption (Guy): 'On her way down she screamed and grabbed at, crashed into and broke several bamboo shoots.'
Caption: 'Apparently these are the sounds Emily interpreted as Libby being beaten.'
