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!

Bert: Who is going to live in these homes?

Ernie: Why all the secrecy, anyway?

Panel 2
Inside the Rolls. The brothers are seated side-by side in the back bench-seat. We are looking forward past them, towards the front seat. On the left is Drenkowski, turned part way towards the brothers with his right arm resting on the seat-back. On the right side (this is a right-hand drive) we can see the steering wheel, a bit of the classic original instrumentation, and a high-techy looking box mounted on the dash board – the computer which is actually driving the vehicle.

Drenkowski: In due time, gentlemen, in due time.

Panel 3
Reverse view. Now we're looking from the front dash past Drenkowski at the brothers in the back seat, each gazing out the window on his own side, looking a bit put off. Drenkowski smiles his enigmatic smile.

The brothers: ….
