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, establishing shot: In the Water Bros’ Café. Both of the Babbettes are sitting at a table (near the elder’s cashier station) with the Guzmán brothers, having a meal and talking.

B the elder: So Caillard turned out to be the hero, eh?

Ernie: Lorna said if he hadn’t plugged the leak the air would have been gone in less than four tocks*.

Bert: And it took us two centimes* to reach the cargo bay.

Caption: * 4 tocks = about 6 minutes, 2 centimes = about 29 minutes


Panel 2
Closer-in shot, B the younger and Bert are speaking.

B the younger: So do they know what caused the rupture?

Bert: An automated cargo carrier running in from Vesta went off-course and hit Ghetty at about 800 klicks per centime.


Panel 3
B the elder reacts in some shock. Bert answers her.

B the elder: Automated -! How in the heck…

Bert: Midgit Mining suspects software sabotage. Might take them months to prove it, if ever.
