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 39

Panel 1
Billy and Wally take advantage of Cererean micro-gravity to literally leap out the hatchway and make their escape.

Billy: We’re sorry, Rev … your Majesty.

Wally: Yeah, sorry!


Panel 2
Looking back towards the group at the dais, who are themselves looking towards the hatchway – Bert and Ernie exchange knowing grins, Guy has his usual annoyed look, Fiorella her usual poker face. Babbette is covering her face with her hands, so that the visitors can’t see her suppressing a giggle. Reggie is doing his best to look royally indignant.



Reggie: For the edification of our visitors, 'Celestial Bodies' is a … roaming brothel which brings, ah, comfort services to lonely miners in the farther planetoids.

Reggie: I will deal with those two rapscallions later.

Panel 3
Guy and Fiorella, Fiorella is speaking to Guy, Guy is still addressing the king.

Fiorella: Perhaps if we tell the King about the Moon Treaty’s aim, to clear the air…

Guy: Ah! Yes. If Your Majesty would permit, I would like to explain the noble purpose of the treaty.


Panel 4
Angled shot so that we see Babbette up close and Reggie looming behind her. Babbette has a dubious look on her face; Reggie is looking dead serious.

Reggie: You may proceed.
