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
Ed and Chang still at the cafe table, Chang is looking sideways across the plaza.
Ed: Using force to stop your boy or his girlfriend from kissing – or even more – is simply not consistent with our zero aggression principle.
Panel 2
Medium 3-shot of the soldier, the girl, and her boyfriend. The soldier has a hand on one of the girl's breasts. The boyfriend is looking even more tense but not doing anything.
No dialog.
Panel 3

Close-up of Chang gazing out on the plaza, looking amazed.
No dialog.
Panel 4
Back to medium 2-shot of Chang and Ed.
Ed: Oh, the boyfriend is pissed and this might end their relationship, but nobody is going to get punched or anything.
Ed: In fact, he's exhibiting more restraint than you might think. He could challenge your boy to a duel.
Panel 5
Looking past Ed at Chang, who does a take.
Chang: And that's legal?
Ed: No, it's not illegal. If your soldier chose not to accept the challenge, that's all there'd be to it.


Panel 6
Chang and Ed. It's Chang's turn to talk.
Chang: Okay, so it looks like I was li … it looks as though my superiors had bad intel.
Chang: But we have come a very long way to just turn around and go home.

Panel 7
Sideways two-shot of Ed and Chang. Both are smiling slightly.
Ed: Your superiors did have bad intel.
Ed: Sounds to me like you need to consult with your superiors in light of unanticipated circumstances, don't you think?
