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
Exterior shot of the SkyLand theme park, featuring the gigantic external monolith/main entryway, and the enormous air envelope beyond it, through which we can see the Mandala Hotel and some of the 'worlds' which make up the park (refer back to strips 02-035, 060, and 071-075).
Electronic voice: Welcome to Skyland theme park!
Electronic voice: My default name is Buzz, but you can name me anything you choose.
Panel 2
Bert and Ernie, rucksacks slung across their backs, float in an airlock passageway just like the one we saw Doris and Fiorella use for their visit. Fluttering about in front of them is one of the mechanical 'bee' constructs, ubiquitous at SkyLand, which serve as ushers, custodians, and sometimes security agents.
We haven't seen these characters in a while. Let's I.D. them as we see them.
Ernie: Can I name you 'Big Bird?'
Caption: Ernesto Guzmán, ice miner.
Bert: Oh for chrissakes, Ernie.
Caption: Roberto Guzmán, ice miner.
Panel 3
Looking past the bros at the 'bee,' doing a little side-ways figure-8, facing them.
Big Bird: I will answer to 'Big Bird' as you wish, Sv Guzmán.
Big Bird: I have been notified to bring you to the conference as soon as you arrive.
Big Bird: Please come with me.
