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 18

Panel 1
Guy and Fiorella ease themselves into the rear bench of the golf cart, as Babbette seats herself in front at the controls. (Make this a top-down angle so we can have a tall panel, front of cart towards the bottom)

Guy: Our luggage --?

Babbette: I’ve contacted the porter – he’ll bring your bags to the boarding house.

Panel 2
The golf cart bolts forward so quickly that Guy nearly spills out the back – Fiorella saves him by grabbing the front of his jacket with one arm while bracing herself with the other on some part of the cart (whatever works).

Guy: Wha-HAAAAAAAA!!!

Panel 3
Guy is safely back in the cart, hanging onto the frame for dear life as the cart hurtles through a pressuized tunnel. Fiorella is also clutching the frame tightly, but less panicked and more curious. We can see the grinning Babbette at the controls in front.

Fiorella: How do you control this cart at such speed --?

Babbette: Electro-mag wheels, iron strips in the floor. The fans help, too.
