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.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check your spam folder. If you still can't find the email from DriveThruComics, let us know and we'll get the links you need.

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
Bert and Ernie are sitting in a booth at Callahan's, having beers. Ernie is taking a sip of his as Bert reacts to what Ernie has just told him. Viewpoint is from the side, showing each of them in profile.

Bert: Somebody murdered Smyth?

Bert (2): There hasn't been a murder on Ceres in years. Was he armed?

Panel 2
Looking over Bert's shoulder at Ernie. Now Bert is sipping his beer as Ernie speaks.
Ernie: No, but it wouldn't have made any difference.

Ernie (2): Smyth was attacked from behind, without warning. It was a professional hit.

Panel 3
Side-view again, maybe from a higher angle. Now both men are speaking. Ernie has a determined look.

Bert: Poor guy. What are we going to do now?

Ernie: We're going to fulfill our contract, that's what.

Panel 4
Now we violate the 180 rule and look at the brothers though the wall, so that Ernie can be on the left. Both men are holding their glasses forward to emphasize their agreement. In the background, we see some other customers at tables, including, just visible, the Pale Man.
Ernie: We took the money, we know where to deliver the ice.

Bert: Okay, Ernie, let's not keep the Little Prince waiting.
