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
Emily and Babbette still at the cashier station. Emily is asking a question but is a bit shy about it.

Emily: Um, by the way, I've need to ask you, uh ...

Emily: Something's come up. Can I take off early this evening?

Panel 2
Babbette looks a bit flustered. She wants to be accommodating but has a problem. Just as she speaks, Babbette the Younger walks up from the right.

B. Elder: Er, well, the dinner rush starts in six centimes and I kind of need you here ...

B. Younger: Got it covered, mi abuelita.

Panel 3
Pull back several meters. We still see Emily and the two Babbettes at the Cashier stand in the background. In the foreground, we see an older teenaged boy, a bit gangly and with curly black hair, standing in a waiting posture facing the trio.
B Elder: But what's the ….

B Elder: Ah, I see. Hello, Lawrence.

Panel 4
Same camera angle. Now Emily (sans waitress apron) is walking off with the boy, close but not touching, but looking at each other with puppy-love eyes. Both the Babbettes look pleased.
B Elder: You're a good friend, Babbette.
B Younger: Yeah, I know.
