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
Reggie and Babbette the Younger are sitting at the table. Babbette has her face scrunched up in that way a child registers confusion.
Babbette: 'Mensch?'
Reggie: It's a Yiddish word that nominally means 'a man' but it's a unisex way of saying a decent, upright, mature and responsible person.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Reggie, doing his best Mister Rogers impression.
Reggie: In other words, an adult.
Reggie: Someone who takes responsibility for the consequences of his or her acts.
Reggie: No matter how old you are, you are an adult when you can do that.

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Babbette, looking at Reggie as he speaks. Clearly what he's saying is sinking in.
Reggie (OP): And it's never too soon to start.
Reggie (OP): Every day, your actions are creating the person you will become.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Reggie and Babbette, closing out this scene. Both are smiling.
Babbette: I guess it's like Daddy-B says, 'The Child is the Father of the Man.'
Babbette: Wordsworth?
Reggie: Yes, Wordsworth.
