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. We are looking at a Comm holo-screen being above the Fancy PDA on Guy's wrist.. The screen needs to be large enough that we can read the following within it:

Tanglenet Message Comm
UWRS
Calling: Fiorella Stellina
Result: No Response
Do you wish to leave a

Message?

Within a suitable portrait-orientation layout scheme.

Panel 2
Wide panel. Medium 2-shot of Guy seated at a café table, his mostly uneaten breakfast in front of him. The display is still showing above his wrist-PDA. He wears his usual annoyed expression. Babbette the Younger is just walking up to the table at the right.
Guy: Why doesn't she answer?

Babbette: Ready for your ride to work, Sov. Caillard?

Guy: Sorry, Babbette, I'm running a bit late.

Panel 3
Guy has deactivated his PDA and is picking at his breakfast with a fork in a desultory manner. Now Babbette is standing right next to him so it's easy to include both in a smaller panel.

Guy (2): I don't suppose you'd know why Fiorella – er, Sov. Stellina – won't answer her Comm or reply to my messages?

Panel 4
Same basic view. Now Babbette is looking off to the right and talking through pursed lips. Guy reacts with some surprise.

Babbette: Actually, I do.
