Strip 108 -- First Seen: 2009-02-11
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

What Comes Next

The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?

These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.

After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
The bar at Callahan’s, seen from the bartender’s side. Mary the bartender is at station in the left of the frame, wiping a glass with her towel, while Fiorella is seated at the bar to the right of the frame, with a frozen margarita in front of her. In this panel leave some room between them for the dialog balloons.

Fiorella: Babbette is like a force of nature, and I am so indebted to her.

Fiorella (2): She found me a cheap room and staked me enough for food and Tanglenet to get myself situated.


Panel 2
Closer in on the two women. Mary may have moved a bit closer to Fiorella to stay in the frame, or you can try an angled shot. Fiorella is taking a sip of her drink.

Mary: She’ll lend the shirt off her back to someone she thinks deserves it. But don’t forget to pay back the stake.


Panel 3
Close in shot on Fiorella.

Fiorella: I think I’m going to take a contract on a prospecting tour. Not just for the percentage, although that looks very good …

Fiorella (2): But I want to get a way from the hustle and bustle of the city.


Panel 4
Wide a shot as you can make it. To the left is Mary, Fiorella is in the middle, and to the right are a clump of five male bar regulars who are eying Fiorella with obvious lustful anticipation. The women are looking back at the men with that cool “don’t fuck with me” look.

Mary: I know what you mean
