What Comes Next

The War is Over. We Won.

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
Bert, Ernie and Tobi at the patio table. Bert is starting to get a bit exasperated. Tobi is holding his arms out, palms forward.

Bert: Yes, and all this is relevant how?

Tobi: Okay okay, here's the deal. The UW government hates my guts ...

Panel 2
Medium closeup of Ernie, maybe we can see a bit of Bert beside him.

Ernie: No it doesn't.

Ernie: You have awards and honors out the butt from the UW and just about every organization known to man.

Panel 3
Cut to, essentially, Bert's POV. Ernie is in the near left and Tobi towards the right, a bit farther away.

Ernie: Geez, Louise, you even got named Time's Man of the Millennium. Everybody loves you.

Tobi: Ernie, you don't get it.


Panel 4
Medium shot of Tobi, holding one palm forward.
Tobi: What else could they say?
Tobi: I released all the hardware specs and software as open source.
Tobi: I did it simultaneously across the solar system, so nobody could bury it.



Panel 5
Looking over Tobi's shoulder towards the Brothers, who are looking thoughtful.

Tobi: It was a fait accompli.

Tobi: What else could they do but put on their best faces and pretend to honor me?

Bert: But that was then and this is now.
Panel 6
Looking over Bert's shoulder at Tobi. Tobi is just sitting with his arms crossed.

Bert: ohhhhh.....

Panel 7

Bert: It's not what you did then, but what you are doing now, isn't it?
Bert: You have another disruptive technology up your sleeve, right?

Panel 8
Medium on Tobi, smiling broadly and spreading his arms wide.

Tobi: Two disruptive technologies, actually.

Tobi: Number one: Chimeric Food Sources.
