Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
The brothers continue their work assembling the equipment.

Bert: We have no downside and some really amazing upsides.

Ernie: How amazing?

Panel 2
Bert pauses in his work, holding his wrench in one hand and ticking off items on his fingers of the other hand.

Bert: The scans tell us the mascon weighs about 200 kilos, and has a specific gravity of at least 18.

Bert: That means it must be a fairly pure chunk of osmium, iridium, platinum, plutonium, gold, or tungsten.

Panel 3
Bert continues attaching an exterior panel to the mass driver, using his wrench.
Bert: If it's gold or platinum, we'll make more money than we ever have. Osmium or iridium would yield 20-33 percent of that, still a nice haul.

Panel 4
Medium shot of Ernie, attaching a different support leg. His eyes are widening in reaction to what Bert's saying.
Bert (OP): If it turns out to be plutonium, Katie bar the door! We could buy our own moon.
