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

Leon, still in a mock-gruff tone and body stance. The group of children giggling in front of him.

Leon: Okay, first-and-a-half:

Leon: ...Don't sass your elders, speak only when spoken to and kids should be seen and not heard. Got it?

Kids: Hee hee! Tee hee! Haha!

Panel 2

Leon lurches forward as though he were about to leave his comfortable chair. The children shriek and run away in mock panic.

Leon: So you think you've called my bluff, have you?

Leon: Where's my switch?


Panel 3

Leon settles back with a self-satisfied grin on his face.

Leon: Alright, second, I'm not your grandfather anyway. For most of you, I am your great-great-great-grandfather,

Panel 4

Head and shoulders shot of Lucas, a cute kid missing his two front teeth and has big eyes.

Leon (OP): 'cept you, Lucas, I'm your great-great-great-great-grandfather.

Panel 5

Head and shoulders shot of Flora, about 10 years old with straight hair in loose pigtails.

Leon (OP): And Flora, I'm only your great-great-grandfather.
