Strip 335 -- First Seen: 2009-12-25
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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

Panel 1
Looking in through the broad pilot's viewport of Lust in Space, we see five women, 4 young and beautiful, the fifth just slightly more mature-looking (Capt. Lili), looking out in wonderment:

First Officer Mimi: That is just too weird!

Captain Lili (the older one): And look at the head on that thing!

Panel 2
Looking under the bottom of Lust in Space, we see the UW Alpha Relentless approaching.

Darling (from Relentless): Ahoy the bang bus. We are coming up on your aft.

Darling: Move away from the Artifact.

Panel 3
In the LIS control cabin. The girls are looking at each other and grinning:

Darling (filtered): This object is being duly claimed by UW Alpha Relentless in the name of the United World. Do not move any closer.

Lili: Girls, I think it's that Darling guy from the vid!

Panel 4
Lili touches a button on the console.

Lili: Hello … Darling. We are all waiting for you to come up our aft.

Lili: We are wet with anticipation.

Panel 5
Group shot of the girls, all laughing uproariously.

All: Ha ha ha Hee hee hee Ha ha ha Tee hee hee

Panel 6
Cut to the control deck of the Relentless. Darling glowers in anger as Captian Gondalia, behind him, suppresses a giggle. The crewman smirks too.

From LIS (filtered): Ha ha ha Tee hee hee Ha ha ha snicker-snicker

Panel 7
Medium close-up of the crewman, alerted by something on his console.

Crewman: Uh, {cough} sir, I show 14 more ships moving into range …

Crewman: Correction: make that 35 ships.

Panel 8
Medium shot of Darling doing a face-palm. We can see Gondalia behind him, just looking grim.

Crewman (OP): Er, make that 117 ships …
