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
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.
