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 80

Panel 1
Larger panel (leave some room for the logo). The forkbots have just started pulling Section 12-327 away from the asteroid surface, as Bert and Jay hover close-by in their spacesuits.

Jay: Got it! Section is clear, repeat, Section is clear of the surface.

Jay (2): Begin vector towards Iron Works.

Bert: Lorna? How are you guys doing in there?


Panel 2
Inside the darkened Section, all we see of Guy, Fiorella and Lorna is a cocoon of thermal blanket.


Lorna (from inside cocoon): Still in one piece, far as I can tell. How long till we reach Iron Works?


Panel 3
Inside the cocoon, tight close-up three-shot of Guy, Fiorella, and Lorna. Lorna is speaking to her companions


Bert (from Lorna’s comm.): Jay says about 3 centimes.

Lorna: That’s about 45 Terran minutes.

Panel 4
Oustide the cocoon again.

Guy: By Barak, we’re going to make it!

Fiorella: Uh-oh. What’s that sound?

SFX: sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss




Panel 5
The cocoon drifts towards the source of the hissing, a small crack in one bulkhead.

Guy: I think this problem may be self-correcting.

Panel 6
Drawn by the escaping air, cocoon bumps up against the bulkhead crack. There’s a bit of a bend in the cocoon to indicate the part of the cocoon making contact is somebody’s butt.

SFX: Thwmp

Fiorella: What was that?

Guy: I believe that is my skinny, Gallic derriere saving yours, ma Cherie.

Panel 7

Inside the cocoon, tight shot of Guy, Fiorella, Lorna. Guy is grimacing as his flesh is getting slowly sucked into the crack. Fiorella looks at him with concern. Lorna is trying hard not to grin.

Fiorella: Are you okay?

Lorna: If we get out of this soon enough, he will be. But he’ll have one hell of a hickey on his fanny.
