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
Two-shot of Merry and Pablo. Merry is standing in front of Pablo's desk, looking frustrated. Pablo holds the recording mini-disc (which Bert had in the previous strip) betwixt thumb and forefinger and stares at it bemusedly as he speaks to Merry.
Pablo: Assuming the recording shows what he says it does, do you really want to continue with this hearing?
Panel 2
Swing the camera around so we see Merry from the front, a bit flustered, trying to recover from her blunder. Behind her we can see her clients, and one of them (Lawrence) speaks up.
Merry: We, Sv. Rosenberg, these could be CGI and …
Lawrence: Stop it, Merry. He's got us. Let's just salvage what we can.

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Rosenberg, leaning forward to talk to Merry.
Pablo: Back in the bad old days, I was a lawyer in what is now the Texas Sector.
Pablo: In law school, they told us to never ask a question to which you do not know the answer, or an open-ended question.
Panel 4
Looking over Pablo's shoulder at Merry, who is running one hand through the hair on the side of her head, looking flushed with frustration and embarrassment. Pablo is still leaning forward in this frame.
Pablo: For what it's worth, though, with the evidence at hand, there really isn't anything you could've done to get your clients off.
