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
Elevated shot of the mining assembly in operation – we can see rocks being ejected from the top of the Mass Driver. Bert is near the bore hole, monitoring the drilling, while Ernie is near the Mass Driver, making sure the dug-up regolith gets loaded and ejected properly.

Bert: According to the scans we still have a coupla-three meters to go.

Ernie: We've been at this for over 40 centimes. I'm bushed.

Panel 2
Ernie floats (via jet-pack) over to where Bert is standing.

Ernie: Let's knock off, get a good night's sleep, and get rich beyond our wildest dreams tomorrow.

Panel 3
The brothers jet-pack out over the rim of the crater they've been working in.
Bert: Suits me. But you know, my wildest dreams are very wild.

Panel 4
We see the brothers touching down near their shuttle landing site. Put the brothers in the background and the site in the foreground. We can tell it's the landing site because of the scorch-marks on the surface from their engine, and the four tie-down pitons in the ground, around the blast-mark, with their lines severed.
Bert: Son of a …
Ernie: … bitch.
