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

Strip 13

Panel 1
Wide shot of the bustling spaceport terminal. Guy and Fiorella are looking about, trying to get their bearings. We see more than a dozen people moving about, most doing the peculiar Cererean glide-walk, some portering large boxes of material on carts on spindly wheels and with pairs of 20cm fans mounted at the front and back. Two or three are bounding Superman-like from the floor level to hatchways located 3-4 meters above the floor, or gliding down to the floor from the upper level via railings placed for that purpose.

Guy: Hmmm. No welcoming committee.

Guy (2): Do you see an information booth?

Fiorella: No.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Guy and Fiorella, close enough we only see them from chest-up. They’re still looking around. Guy is exasperated.

Guy: How the Hitchens are we going to find who’s in charge here?

Panel 3
Same shot, only now Guy and Fiorella are a bit startled by the voice coming from below the panel frame.

Voice: Excuse me…


Panel 4
Looking down on BABBETTE GUZMÁN. She appears to be an 11-year-old girl, with wavy red hair and vaguely Asiatic eyes, and is wearing a baseball cap with “Ceres Spaceport Agent” silk-screened across the front.


Babette: May I help you, sir and madam?
