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
Angle the shot so we see all three characters but focus on Ken Nightingale (from the front).

Ken: At least a plausible explanation.

Ken: As you know, music is one of the few universal elements in every civilization.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Ken.

Ken: There are no exceptions; every culture has music.

Ken: Oliver Sacks said it was wired into our brains.

Panel 3
Looking over Peña's shoulder at Ken.

Ken: Further, we are the only species that has or responds to music ...

Peña: Whales, birds …?


Panel 4
Medium shot of Ken sitting back in his chair bemusedly, we might also see Reggie in this shot, looking similarly bemused.

Ken: It takes more than a little special pleading to put animal signals on par with what we normally call music.

Ken: There are no 'whale songs' in the Top-40 and I doubt there ever will be.
