Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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
Pablo at his desk, bracing with both hands and arms spread far apart against the desk edge.
Pablo: Oh good. They may sell their personal effects to cover part of their debt.
Pablo: After that, they will have to work it off as they have agreed.

Panel 2
Cut to the three defendants, who are looking a bit uncomfortable. We can see a few spectators behind them.
Pablo (OP): Usually with miscreants who have insufficient funds we give them a track-and-disable collar that cannot be removed.

Panel 3
Cut back to Pablo. There's extra dialog in this panel so leave room for it.
Pablo: If they don't get a job we can indenture them to the highest bidder.
Pablo: There are contractual protections against physical abuse, dangerous work, and so forth.
Pablo: However, the jobs are usually dirty and difficult. Farm animals are often involved.

Panel 4
Cut to medium close-up of Merry, nearly shouting.
Merry: Sv. Rosenberg, I cannot countenance slavery!
