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 37

Panel 1
Looking over Reggie’s shoulder at Guy and Fiorella (maybe we can also see Bert and Ernie off to one side of them)

Reggie: We are somewhat bewildered. Our understanding is that your government is the United World, not the United Worlds.

Panel 2
Looking up past Babbette, trying her best to look officious, toward Reggie.

Reggie: Ceres is already a united world, in and of itself – albeit a somewhat smaller one than your Terra.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Guy and Fiorella. To one side we get a glimpse of Bert and Ernie exchanging glances.

Guy: True, Your Majesty, but we are all children of Mother Terra.

Guy (2): We believe it would be unfair to the people of both Ceres and Terra to make such a … er … geographic – if that’s the right word – distinction.

Guy (3): In any case, the revised Moon Treaty gives the UW authority over Ceres.

Panel 4

Looking over Guy’s shoulder at Reggie. The king is shouting in fury, and Guy recoils a bit in fear.

Reggie: CERES IS NOT A MOON!!
