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
Long, horizontal establishing shot. Anton enters the shop where Emily is behind the counter, grooming a bonsai-like plant. The shop still looks a little sparse.
Anton: Hi, Emily!
Emily: Oh, hey, Anton! I just got our meat/plant chimeras from the Kobayashi Corporation in today. Do you want to see them?
Panel 2
Largish panel. Anton is leaning on the counter where Emily has put down her tools.
Anton: Maybe in a sec.
Anton: Emily, do you think FloraFauna can be open in a hundred sols?
Emily: Sure, the shipment with the remainder of my order should be here with a decasol or so to spare. Why?
Panel 3
Medium close-up of Anton, excited.
Anton: Great! A hundred and three sols from now is Terra date, October 4!
Emily (OP): And...?
Anton: And that is the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi!
Emily: And...?
Anton: And that is the day of the Blessing of the Animals!
Panel 4
Emily, with her head slightly down, messing with the plant, reminiscing in a memory of her dead family.
Emily: Every Terran year, my family...
Emily: ... we ... we took our cat, Sv Boots, to Place de la Concorde, for the precession and blessing. It was always fun to see all the animals and their owners.
Panel 5
Emily realizes what Anton's getting at and Anton still has an excited look on his face.
Emily: Oh! That's brilliant!
Emily: We parade our furry, FloraFauna, flock around Place de la Concorde; as part of our grand opening!
Anton: Free media coverage and a million grams worth of free advertising!
Panel 6
Close-up of Emily, plotting.
Emily: I'll recruit Libby, Robyn and more, as animal handlers.
Emily: And costumes; we'll need costumes!
