Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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
Reggie is stepping back in alarm from the form of the Alien monster that Fantasy Fiorella has morphed into. (Remember, he's still naked, use camera angle/shadows to hide his junk.)

Reggie: Gaaah!

Panel 2
Small panel, Reggie suddenly looking downward ...

Reggie: Huh?

Panel 3
… At his own feet, which are wearing the Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz.

Reggie: Huh!

Panel 4
Reggie glances back up at the Alien, who we can see a bit of from behind.

Reggie: There's no place like home ...

Panel 5
Looking at Reggie's feet again, he's clicking the heels of his shoes together.

Reggie: … There's no place like home, there's no place like home!

Panel 6
Sequence of three panels – in each, we see Reggie from behind looking at the phantom which is now Fiorella again. In the first panel, she is smiling at him.

No dialog.

Panel 7
Now she has faded away – we still see a bit of an outline of her, but her smile is still solid (like the Cheshire Cat's in Alice In Wonderland).

No dialog.

Panel 8
Now the smile is fading away, just barely showing a trace of an outline here.

No dialog.

Panel 9
Medium close-up of Reggie, looking a bit frazzled.

Reggie: I have often seen a girl without a grin, but never a grin without a girl.
