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
Large panel again. We see Little Toot from behind, burn engines ablaze, pushing the berg in front of it at a diagonal angle. Toot is positioned as close as possible to the center of gravity of the potato-shaped berg, so the berg is moving “sideways,” instead of along its greater length.

Ernie (from inside ship): This is not the geodesic path to the Little Prince.

Bert (inside ship): Exactly. Our friend Li Chang doesn't need to know where we're going.


Panel 2
Horizontal panel. We see the berg from some distance, pushed along by Little Toot, which looks like a ladybug perched on a large, blue-grey potato, except this ladybug is streaming a plume of hot gas behind it.

Bert (inside ship): I can make a course correction later that will get us there.


Panel 3
Horizontal panel. Much closer on berg, we only see a crossways slice of it. On the left side, we can see the Toot's exhaust blowing backward. A quarter-way around the berg, relative to Toot, we can see the stealth ship perched on the berg, embedded in a crevasse. It has changed its surface color to match the color of the berg. Leave some space on the left side of the berg for the dialog balloon.


Bert (from Toot): Let me fly this thing, you keep a look out for 'Romulans.'
