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

Strip 34

Panel 1
G and F and B and E at the café table

Fiorella: OK, we understand that founding the Ceres colony was perilous. But that doesn’t explain your having a king.

Bert: Well, King Reginald is somewhat difficult to explain.

Ernie: He has to be experienced.

Panel 2
In the left foreground, we see Babbette the elder watching her sons’ performance out of the corner of her eye. They continue in the right background.

Guy: Be that as it may, we are here to discuss protocol, are we not?

Bert: Oh, that’s right.


Panel 3.
Looking past G and F at B and E

Bert: At an audience, the King insists on formal pomp.

Ernie: Or else the circumstances may be dire.

Bert: Address him as ‘King Reginald’ or ‘Your Majesty’

Ernie: And wait for him to speak first, then respond.

Panel 4.
Bert and Ernie are standing, and taking the cue, G and F begin to stand as well.

Guy: That’s it? I expected it to be more complicated.

Bert: It would’ve been, but we ran out of time.

Ernie: That is, we’re out of time, now.

Bert: Yes. We have to hurry to get there in time.
