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
This panel picks up the instant following the last panel in 175. We're looking past Emily, who is in the foreground left. Towards Harris. Emily is holding her gun upward at a 45 degree angle, smoke trailing from the barrel. (She's holding the gun high at this moment due to recoil from just having fired the gun.) Harris is looking down at his chest in surprise. A blood-stain is spreading across his chest from the center.

Harris: Hkgh...

Panel 2
Shifting angle a bit, now we're looking straight on at Harris, and we can see the horrified Officer Young beside him. The blood stain is now covering Harris' chest, and he is slumping over, eyes rolling up, face relaxing, a trickle of blood coming out the corner of his mouth.
No dialog.

Panel 3
Somewhat elevated angle, now Reggie has moved up to stand to the left and a little bit behind Emily, both facing Young. Emily's holding the gun pointed downward now, we may not be able to see it from this angle [if so, index finger extended]. We might be able to see some of Harris' corpse slumped in its chair. Young's falling to pieces. Tears streaming down his face, and we can see that he's wet his pants.

Reggie: Weapons Officer William Young, is there anything you would like to say in your defense?
