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!

Strip 32

Panel 1
Looking past G and F at B and E

Guy: Back on Terra, there is a great deal of confusion as to the nature of Ceres' government.

Ernie: It’s really quite simple.

Bert: Ceres is governed by a monarch.

Ernie: King Reginald the First.

Panel 2
Looking past B and E at G and F, both looking surprised.

Guy: A monarchy! In this day and age.

Fiorella: How, er, was this monarchy established?

Panel 3
G and F on the left, B and E on the right.

Bert: Well, this was a little before our time, but

Ernie: When the first settlers came to establish themselves on Ceres, they found Reginald already here.


Panel 4

Same shot. G and F are looking at each other.

Bert: He said ‘I’m Reginald, and I was here first.’

Ernie: So everyone called him Reginald the First, and he’s been King ever since.
