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

Strip 38

Panel 1
Guy holds up his hands in a placating gesture. Fiorella looks at him with a look of mild bemusement.

Guy: I apologize, Your Majesty. I know that Ceres is not a moon.

Guy (2): ‘The Moon Treaty’ is merely the agreement’s popular name. The actual title is ‘Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and other Celestial Bodies.’

Panel 2
Same shot, but now Guy and Fiorella are startled by a sudden noise behind them.

SFX: SNORT!

Panel 3
Two boys can be seen crouching behind one of the benches near the back of the room, their heads held up to view the proceedings. They are Billy and Wally, a pair of young boys (ages 9 and 10). (How they will look is left to the artist, except that Billy should be a bit older and taller and is generally the leader of the two.)

Billy: ‘Celestial Bodies!’ *giggle!*

Wally: Oh, no! *giggle* Not those bodies!

Billy: *snerk* They do have activities, though!

Wally: *guffaw* I think there’s some 'moon' involved, too…


Panel 4
Pull back so we see Bert, Ernie, Guy, Fiorella, Babbette, and the King. Billy’s and Wally’s heads are just visible sticking up from behind the bench. The King is bellowing, and everyone freezes.

Reggie: SILENCE!!!
