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

Panel 1
At Isher's Fine Tobacco and Firearms.
Guy is standing at one of the glass counters (not the center one) with Ernie.

Guy: I know it is the custom of Cerereans to go about armed, but I'm just not comfortable with guns.

Ernie: Okay, then how about a knife?

Panel 2
Now Neil Isher is behind the counter, having pulled a six-inch, fixed-handle, very fancy knife out of the glass case, and offering it to Guy.

Isher: Got just the thing ...

Panel 3
Guy is suddenly taken with the idea of knife fighting, and strikes a pose with his left arm held back and high as if he were fencing, and waving the knife around wildly with his right hand. Ernie and Neil flinch just a bit.
Guy: Aha! Le Lame! The Blade! An elegant weapon for an elegant gentleman, yes?

Panel 4
Now Guy is balancing the knife by its pointed end on the tip of his finger (an easier thing to do in .03 gee. Neil is now handing across the knife's scabbard. He's talking to Ernie, who looks concerned.

Neil: Promise me you'll sign him up for lessons.

Ernie: First order of business.
