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
Reggie is stepping back in alarm from the form of the Alien monster that Fantasy Fiorella has morphed into. (Remember, he's still naked, use camera angle/shadows to hide his junk.)

Reggie: Gaaah!

Panel 2
Small panel, Reggie suddenly looking downward ...

Reggie: Huh?

Panel 3
… At his own feet, which are wearing the Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz.

Reggie: Huh!

Panel 4
Reggie glances back up at the Alien, who we can see a bit of from behind.

Reggie: There's no place like home ...

Panel 5
Looking at Reggie's feet again, he's clicking the heels of his shoes together.

Reggie: … There's no place like home, there's no place like home!

Panel 6
Sequence of three panels – in each, we see Reggie from behind looking at the phantom which is now Fiorella again. In the first panel, she is smiling at him.

No dialog.

Panel 7
Now she has faded away – we still see a bit of an outline of her, but her smile is still solid (like the Cheshire Cat's in Alice In Wonderland).

No dialog.

Panel 8
Now the smile is fading away, just barely showing a trace of an outline here.

No dialog.

Panel 9
Medium close-up of Reggie, looking a bit frazzled.

Reggie: I have often seen a girl without a grin, but never a grin without a girl.
