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
The office of Pablo Rosenberg. Pablo is sort of like that 'world's most interesting man' in the Dos Equis beer commercials, except that his hair is black instead of gray. Also, since he's Jewish, have him wearing a yarmulke, and a Star of David pendant on a thin chain hung on his neck. Pablo is seated at his desk, Reggie is standing in front of it with his back turned ¾ to us. Focus is on Pablo.
Pablo: Sure I can cover the church and your arbitration business for a few decadays.
Pablo: Might need some assistance, though.

Panel 2
Switch views to look past Pablo at Reggie.
Reggie: Little Ba- … I mean, Libby Guzmán has experience managing my docket. And of course Guy Caillard will be there to man the back office.

Panel 3
Pablo has gotten up and is walking with Reggie out of the office. Both are all smiles.
Pablo: You and Babbette have a great time on Mars, don't worry about a thing.
Reggie: How'd you know Babbette was coming with me?

Panel 4
Cut to the Water Bros. Cafe, at the bar. Libby, Emily and Robyn are chatting together. Emily and Robyn are abuzz with the latest gossip. Libby is a bit subdued, not entirely certain how she feels about this turn of events.
Robyn: They've been making 'goo-goo' eyes at each other for weeks. It's so cute.
Emily: And now they're going on a cruise! Is that like a honeymoon?
Libby: They aren't married so far as I know.

Panel 5
Largish panel – at the Spaceport, Reggie and Babbette are being seen off by their friends and family: Libby (in a better mood now), Emily Rose, Guy, Vinnie, Neil, Mike Callahan, Bert and Ernie, as many of the other 'leading citizens' from strip 30 as you can reasonably fit in the panel. Reggie and Babbette wave at their friends as the turn to enter the gangway.
Babbette: Now remember, no calls unless it's an emergency.
Libby: We promise!

Panel 6
Reggie and Babbette happily walking together up the gangway corridor.
Babbette: They'll be fine. What could possibly go wrong?
