On Their Way....

This is a message for the IGG QV9 backers! For those of you who ordered physical perks, they are on their way via USPS. For those of you who selected one or more of the PDF perks, you should have received an email from DriveThruComics.com. That email contains links to the vouchers you need to download your copy of the PDF you requested.

Signing and Shipping

Scott has finished autographing all the books, and we've started shipping them out. Your physical perks should show up in the next week or so (might be a bit longer for international shipments). We expect to send out vouchers (via email) to those who wanted the PDF e-books.

Once again, many thanks to our backers. Stand by for further updates.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Establishing shot of the Rose seastead, exterior view. See notes that Sandy wrote about seasteads. The view should be something like a crane shot – an elevated view but not from directly overhead.

Julia Rose (from inside the house): Alfred, did Bobby go to pick up Emily from work yet?

Panel 2
Interior shot. A futuristic but recognizable kitchen, with sleek surfaces. A couple of pots steam gently on the stove. Julia Rose – think of Michael Lerned from the Waltons – is cutting up some vegetables on the counter near the stove. Alfred Rose is also in the kitchen, looking for something in the refrigerator. Put Alfred to the left of Julia.
Alfred: Bobby's studying for his journeyman exam. I'll go get Emily.

Panel 3
Suddenly Billy Rose is right next to Alfred, pleading his case. Alfred is looking like the cat caught with feathers in its mouth. Julia is looking at Alfred with some bemusement.

Billy: I can go get Emily! You said I could drive the sled to Ceres City!

Julia: You did?

Alfred: I did.

Panel 4
In the foreground right, a delighted Bill Rose bounds out of the kitchen. Behind him are stern Alfred and concerned Julia.

Alfred: Very well, Billy. Take the sled, and you go straight to town and straight back with Emily, understand?

Billy: You betcha!
