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
Outside the closed door to Wally's room, his parents, Gus and Mary-Francis Cooper, confer about their son. Looks-wise, Wally definitely takes more after his mother than his father. They both look worried, tense.
Mary-Francis: He's been in there almost 20 centimes without even a bathroom break.
Gus: I wonder if he keeps a bucket in there.

Panel 2
Mary-Francis and Gus.
Mary-Francis: This is serious! He's always been sort of – obsessive – since his friend Billy was killed.
Gus: It's been almost a Martian year – you'd think he'd be over that by now.

Panel 3
Mary-Francis looks away from Gus, a bit annoyed by his insensitivity but not protesting.
Mary-Francis: Did you talk to him about getting a job?
Gus: I did, three days ago.

Panel 4
Mary-Francis and Gus.
Mary-Francis: And –?
Gus: He said, 'Job? What's a job compared to a calling?'
