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
Reggie and Babbette the Younger are sitting at the table. Babbette has her face scrunched up in that way a child registers confusion.
Babbette: 'Mensch?'
Reggie: It's a Yiddish word that nominally means 'a man' but it's a unisex way of saying a decent, upright, mature and responsible person.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Reggie, doing his best Mister Rogers impression.
Reggie: In other words, an adult.
Reggie: Someone who takes responsibility for the consequences of his or her acts.
Reggie: No matter how old you are, you are an adult when you can do that.

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Babbette, looking at Reggie as he speaks. Clearly what he's saying is sinking in.
Reggie (OP): And it's never too soon to start.
Reggie (OP): Every day, your actions are creating the person you will become.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Reggie and Babbette, closing out this scene. Both are smiling.
Babbette: I guess it's like Daddy-B says, 'The Child is the Father of the Man.'
Babbette: Wordsworth?
Reggie: Yes, Wordsworth.
