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 Wally's bedroom. His parents intercept him coming back from the bathroom.
Gus: Your mother and I would like a word with you.
Wally: I did all my chores.

Panel 2
Cut to the family living room. Gus and Mary-Francis sit on either side of Wally, on the sofa.
Gus: We're concerned about the amount of time you're spending on the Tanglenet.
Mary-Francis: It's just not normal.

Panel 3
Same scene.
Gus: You're always fixated on these obtuse, academic subjects – Italian history, Victorian literature, para-genetics, differential geometry – and now you're compiling traffic data from newzine announcements?
Mary-Francis: That isn't normal either.

Panel 4
Gus lays a fatherly arm across Wally's shoulder, as his mom takes his hand in hers.
Gus: Wally, to make a living out here on the frontier you need to acquire practical knowledge and skills, not all this useless … stuff.
Mary-Francis: We want you to have a normal life.
