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
Long shot of Bert and Ernie standing next to the assembled Mass Driver.
Bert: Anyway, this shaft isn't going to dig itself. Help me reset the bore head and reposition the Mass Driver.
Ernie: Do we really need the Mass Driver?

Panel 2
Medium shot of Bert, waxing professorial.
Bert: You tell me. We have to dig through 50 to 100 meters of regolith.
Bert: The material from the shaft has to go somewhere. The bore will throw it out of the shaft, but it will fall back eventually and bean us.

Panel 3
Long shot taking in the brothers and the entire Mass Driver. Angle the shot so we're seeing the MD from it's exhaust-tube end.
Bert: The mass driver tosses the rubble away at over 30 meters per beat. It won't be coming back.

Panel 4
Ernie looks over at Bert.
Ernie: I say let's reset the bore tomorrow. I wanna call it a day and fly back to Dactyl.
Ernie: I'm bushed and feeling homesick for cave, sweet cave.
