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
Distance shot of the brothers, standing at the rim of the crater containing their excavation assemblage. Bert is standing sort of slumped, looking dejected.

Bert: I'd give anything for that Handbook right now. Too bad we don't have a copy.
Ernie: We do.
 
Panel 2
Medium two-shot of the Brothers, turned to look at each other. Ernie is tapping the back of his helmeted head.

Bert: Do not.
Ernie: Do so.
Ernie: I have a file with the images of the entire original 2012 version in my Ock.
 
Panel 3
Medium close-up of Ernie. In the space around his head, we see a collage of arcing lines, circles, and various mathematical formulas. Look up the 'orbital mechanics' page in Wikipedia for examples of what the formulas look like.

Ernie: Right now, I'm instructing the ock to integrate the orbital mechanics formulas and charts into its logic module.
 
Panel 4
Both the brothers start gliding forward again.
 
Ernie: It'll be fully usable by the time we are finished modifying the mass driver.
Bert: Way to go Ernie!
