Strip 724 -- First Seen: 2011-06-14
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
Reggie and Babbette at that fine restaurant table. Angle the view upward a bit to take in the fact that the ceiling is domed and transparent, affording a starscape view. The couple are happily chatting.
Caption: On the third day of their voyage, Reggie and Babbette decided to have their noon meal under the stars in the Skydome Lounge.

Panel 2
Looking at the table directly at Reggie's eye-level, from a few meters away. Reggie is turning his gaze up and straight at the camera, showing some consternation.
Caption: They had been chatting for a few minutes when Reggie caught something out of the corner of his eye.

Panel 3
From Reggie's POV, we see Dr. Daniel Harmon (who previously appeared in the Mystery of the Martian Melodies, strip 02-016-19 (331-333 in the web queue), walking between other guest tables towards us.
Reggie (OP, thought): It's Dr. Harmon from the University of Luna!
Reggie (thought): He recognizes me. This is not good.

Panel 4
Reggie is now standing up, and flicking an index finger in front of his lips with one hand waving with the other, as he addresses the approaching Harmon (who we can barely see at the far right of the frame).
Reggie: Dr. Harmon!
Reggie: Remember, me, Waldo Juárez? We met on Mars.
