Strip 723 -- First Seen: 2011-06-13
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
Wide panel. The Variable Star glides across a starscape.
Caption: The passage to Venus had a dreamlike quality.
Caption: Babbette and Reggie avoided any news from the rest of human space.
Caption: They enjoyed the Variable Star's luxurious facilities, made love and watched the universe go by.
Panel 2
Silhouette of Reggie and Babbette in full sexual romp mode. Gravity is like on the Moon, so sheets and pillows will be flapping and bouncing.
Caption: The ship accelerated towards its rendezvous with Venus at one-sixth gee, approximately lunar gravity.
Caption: The new-again couple spent a lot of time exploring the joys of Lunar gravity … and each other.
Panel 3
Reggie and Babbette, dressed in fine day clothes, are seated at a table in a fine restaurant, looking at menus and sipping iced soft drinks in fine crystal tumblers. The lighting is low, with a fist-sized light-globe on each table providing illumination to those seated at the tables. Fern-like plants and other furnishings serve to separate the tables and afford a small measure of privacy at each.
Caption: Every so often, they came up for air.
Caption: A chance meeting in one of the ship's lounges almost spelled disaster for the two fugitives who had long before, escaped from Terra.
