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
Tall panel. The brothers are back at the mining site, and have lifted the Mass Driver into an up-right position and are setting it down next to the Conveyor in position opposite from the Drill in its bore hold (refer to the 'mining-assembly.gif' sketch).

Ernie: the sooner we dig out that mascon, the sooner we find out just how rich we are... and the sooner we can go home.

Panel 2
Bert, standing next to the up-right Mass Driver, affects a John Wayne pose (arms back, chest thrust forward, hips slightly angled).

Bert: Yup, let's get going. We're burning daylight, pilgrim.

Panel 3
Ernie crouches near the base of the Mass Driver and starts hammering one of four pitons, attached by wires to the side of the MD base, into the ground to anchor the machine.
Ernie: {GROAN} Bert, I think we have more than enough daylight to burn.
