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
Exterior shot of the SkyLand theme park, featuring the gigantic external monolith/main entryway, and the enormous air envelope beyond it, through which we can see the Mandala Hotel and some of the 'worlds' which make up the park (refer back to strips 02-035, 060, and 071-075).
Electronic voice: Welcome to Skyland theme park!
Electronic voice: My default name is Buzz, but you can name me anything you choose.
Panel 2
Bert and Ernie, rucksacks slung across their backs, float in an airlock passageway just like the one we saw Doris and Fiorella use for their visit. Fluttering about in front of them is one of the mechanical 'bee' constructs, ubiquitous at SkyLand, which serve as ushers, custodians, and sometimes security agents.
We haven't seen these characters in a while. Let's I.D. them as we see them.
Ernie: Can I name you 'Big Bird?'
Caption: Ernesto Guzmán, ice miner.
Bert: Oh for chrissakes, Ernie.
Caption: Roberto Guzmán, ice miner.
Panel 3
Looking past the bros at the 'bee,' doing a little side-ways figure-8, facing them.
Big Bird: I will answer to 'Big Bird' as you wish, Sv Guzmán.
Big Bird: I have been notified to bring you to the conference as soon as you arrive.
Big Bird: Please come with me.
