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 22

Panel 1
Large panel, establishing shot of the café interior. We would be looking past the backs of Guy and Fiorella’s heads, perhaps at a slightly elevated angle. Six or eight tables, half of which have diners seated. Most of them ignore the two newcomers. To one side, a swinging door leading to the kitchen. To the other side, a glass door marked 'Water Bros. Office.' Near the center-rear, a cashier’s desk next to another glass door marked 'Rooms.' ( I recommend making this panel take up the left half of the strip, top-to-bottom, then stack the next two panels on the right side.)

Guy: *sigh* Here we go again…

Panel 2
Guy attempts another 'glide-walk' across the room to the cashier’s desk. He waves his arms awkwardly and bumps his toes against the ground, moving past the seated diners, who glance at him with some amusement.

Panel 3
Reaching the cashier’s desk, he has too much momentum. The cashier wordlessly holds out her palm across the desk to stop him. (Note: The cashier’s desk is counter-top high and its top has raised sides (about 8cm) around all the edges except for a meter-wide space where the cashier stands.)

Guy: Hoof!
