Strip 254 -- First Seen: 2009-09-03
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
Still at the elevator terminal. Tobi is handing Ernie some packets of seeds.

Tobi: You mentioned your mom likes to garden, growing some food for the family café.

Tobi: Please give her these as a personal gift from me.

Panel 2
Ernie is holding one packet up to look at it more closely while handing the others to Bert. There is some small printing on the package.
Tobi (to Ernie): That one is a genetic animal-plant chimera.

Tobi: Tell her to follow the directions on the back and very quickly she will have a lovely steak-fruit tree.

Panel 3
Now Bert is scrutinizing one of the packets.
Bert: And these are tomatoes? Are they special?

Tobi: Well, yeah, they taste real good.

Panel 4
Tobi smiles at the Brothers, shrugging with palms upwards, as they begin to laugh.

Tobi: Not everything I do has to be a chimera.

Tobi: Who do you think I am, Luther-bloody-Burbank?
