Strip 596 -- First Seen: 2010-12-20
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
Scene: living room of the apartment shared by Lawrence and Kinko at the NoPoTo #2. At some point show an open window with the distant Sun showing just above the horizon. Lawrence and Kinko are sitting on a sofa (with at least a two-foot gap between them), Lawrence at Kinko's right. Merry Petzger is standing in front of them in a school-marmish pose.
Merry: So you two don't have any idea where Morris went?
Lawrence: Uh, no.
Kinko: Huh-uh.
Panel 2
Looking over Merry's shoulder down at the two men. They look alarmed.
Merry: You should know that if he doesn't pay off his share, you will have to add that on to yours.
Kinko: But Merry, it's not our fault he split! Why should we take on his debt?
Panel 3
Focus on Merry, emphasizing her point with an upraised finger.
Merry: Because Sv Rosenberg told us at the beginning, if we lost the arbitration, you all would be jointly and severally liable for the entire debt.
Panel 4
Three-shot of Merry and the men. The men look at her blankly. Merry presses her fingers against her forehead as if she has a headache.
Kinko: Huh?
