Strip 429 -- First Seen: 2010-04-29
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
Sajjan is setting Robyn back down, their expressions and postures indicating their relationship is 'just friends' and not romantic. In the background, we can see a few of the other inmates looking on with interest.

Robyn: Tell me, Sajjan, my 'Geeky Sikh' and sometimes partner-in-crime, what brings you to the Lunar Kiddie Slammer?

Sajjan: Well, it's sort of a funny story.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Robyn and Sajjan, beginning to walk together..
Sajjan: Back home in Singapore, my sisters and I took the aerial tram from Mount Faber to the Sentosa Island amusement park.

Panel 3
A 1-year-younger Sajjan and his two sisters, hanging around the Muscal Fountain at the park, watching the waterworks and eating ice cream. These kids are Sikhs, and the girls wear modest clothing and head scarves.
Caption (Sajjan): 'We were enjoying the Musical Fountain, eating ice cream and doing some people watching.'


Panel 4
Reverse angle: Sajjan is looking over his shoulder at a group of six Chinese youths (ages 14-15), who are jeering and making rude gestures at the Sikh kids.
Caption (Sajjan): 'Then this bunch of young Chinese toughs came by and started harassing my sisters.'
