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
Back in the Water Bros. Café, during a slow period. Wally Cooper is seating himself at a booth, as Emily Rose approaches him.

Emily: Er, long time no see, Wally.

Wally: Uh, yeah. Mom's taken up the cello. Can't study at home.

Panel 2
Wally (now about 13 years old) is setting up his portable at the table. It consists of a rectangular bar about 15 inches wide which projects a holoscreen above and a holo-keyboard at its base.

Emily: What are you studying?

Wally: Orbital mechanics. Could I please have an iced tea, a BLT sandwich and some solitude?

Panel 3
Emily is standing over next to Babbette the Elder at her cashier's stand, Emily glancing back over her shoulder towards where Wally is sitting.

Emily: I've never seen a kid his age so … so ...

Babbette: Driven? Yeah, that's his way of coping with … the war.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Emily and Babbette. Emily is looking a bit downcast Babbette is looking as though she's unsure of what she's saying.

Emily: Yeah, he was closer to Billy than I was, in a way.

Babbette: Don't know about that, Emily, but if he's found a purpose in life, that's not a bad thing, necessarily.
