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

Strip 15
Nine panels
Panel 1
Guy, Fiorella and Babbette. A bit larger panel with some background re-establishing the scene, and having room for the EFT logo. It’s Fiorella’s turn to speak. Guy is leaning over a bit to whisper in Fiorella’s ear.

Fiorella: But shouldn’t you be in school?

Babbette: My mom educates me, but I also take classes at church and from tutors.

Guy (whispering to Fiorella): Home schooling, religious indoctrination – the UW has a lot of work to do out here.

Panel 2
Guy speaks to Babbette

Guy: Yes, Agent Guzmán, but why aren’t you in a government school?

Panel 3
Tight close-up on Babbette, looking bewildered

Babbette: Governments have schools?

Panel 4
Two-shot of Guy and Fiorella, startled to realize the implication of that last remark.

Guy: Er …

Fiorella: How about you direct us to a hotel? We need to sleep and clean up before we meet with representatives of your government.

Panel 5
Medium-shot of Babbette, brightening and gesturing over her shoulder

Babbette: There’s an excellent boarding house near-by. I’ll take you there! Please follow me.


Panel 6
Small panel. Babbette has turned and is leaning forward at an almost 30 degree angle.

Panel 7
Wide panel. Babbette has lanched herself and is gliding in a long arc several meters long and a few inches above the ground. Behind her are Guy and Fiorella, taken aback.

Panel 8
Medium shot of Babbette standing by her golf cart, looking back at the Terrans with tilted head, arched eyebrow – an 'are you coming or not' expression.
