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

Two-shot of Bert and Ernie. Bert is staring inwardly. Ernie is looking upward.
 
Bert: So we're stranded millions of klicks from home and we can't call for help. Little Toot could be half way to Vesta by now.
 
Ernie: No, she's not.
 
Panel 2
Bert glancing over, somewhat surprised, at Ernie, who is still looking upward.
 
Bert: She's not what?
 
Ernie: Little Toot is still right there, Bert. I can see her with my optical enhancements.
 
Panel 3
We see what Ernie sees: Dactyl fills the frame; in the center is the deep crater/cave in which is parked Little Toot and her shuttle. A short distance away is another, smaller and junky-looking spaceship, along with the smaller and junky-looking shuttle we saw earlier with the two pirates sitting in it. We also see some reticular lines indicating that we're looking through an optical device.
 
Ernie: I can also see our shuttle, another shuttle and a piece of junk prospector ship.
 
Panel 4
Two-shot of the Brothers.
 
Ernie: No, they're not leaving anytime soon. They're gonna sit in our little cave, breath our air and eat our lunch.
 
Ernie: In a few days, they'll be back to grab the mascon.
