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!

Strip 14

Panel 1
Three-shot of Guy, Fiorella and Babbette. Guy is bent over with hands on knees in that condescending pose grown-up use to talk to children. Show just a bit of spaceport terminal background to re-establish the location.

Guy: Would you please direct us to the spaceport’s Director or Information Service?

Babbette: My name is Babbette Guzmán and I am an Agent for the Ceres Spaceport.

Babbette (2): How may I help you?

Panel 2
Shift focus towards Guy, Fiorella standing next to him. She’s giving him a sideways glance. We can still see Babette’s head in the frame, mostly from behind.

Guy: But you’re just a ki…

Guy (2): I mean, a pre-majority woman.


Panel 3.
Looking over Guy’s shoulder now at Babbette. She’s fidgeting just a bit, every inch a cute little girl.

Babbette: Well sir, here in the Belt we do what we can, when we can do it.

Babbette (2): I want to be an ice miner like my mom and dad, but I’m not strong enough to handle a full-sized ice hammer yet.

Babbette (3): Being a Spaceport Agent is something I can do now.
