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 174
Panel 1
Bert at his desk, in his office.
Bert: Anyway, nobody is quite sure why the UW cloned this girl, but there are some theories.
Bert: One is that they just wanted to conduct some basic genetic research on the QT, so anti-cloning protesters – or worse, Teddies – couldn't screw up the resarch.

Panel 2
Cut to Tobi in his desk chair, listening.
Bert (filtered): A more paranoid theory was that the idea was to create stronger, dumber, more compliant sub-human workers or soldiers.
Bert (filtered): No one really knows, but like all government projects, it took on a life of its own.

Panel 3
Cut back to a medium shot of Bert, smirking a bit.
Bert: By the way, word is that Neanne is stronger than the average human, and highly intelligent and not compliant in any way.
Bert: She sounds like a typical 16-year-old, like Ba- ... Libby.
