Strip 163 -- First Seen: 2009-04-29
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!

Kruger: You have me at a disadvantage – to whom am I speaking?

Panel 2
Cut to Guy's office, Guy still monitoring communications at his desk.

Fiorella (filtered): This is Fiorella Stellina, late of the UWRS.

Guy: AHA! It is Fiorella!

Panel 3
Cut to inside the Split Tail, Fiorella at the comm console.

Fiorella: I'm just a hand on Cap'n Doris' Split-Tail, but you are right, I do have you at a disadvantage.

Panel 4
Back in Guy's office, the man can barely control his glee.

Guy (thought): Her captain is a woman! So she's not involved with some ruggedly handsome Belter ...

Guy (2) (thought): Oh! But maybe that could mean … er ...
