Strip 393 -- First Seen: 2010-03-15
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
Doris and Fiorella facing the Screen. Now Doris is speaking.

'Doris: One question, Mike …

Doris: SkyLand is in the Sun-Earth Lagrange point.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Doris (Fiorella may be in the frame).

Doris: Objects in Lagrange points tend to migrate within a teardrop-shaped volume of space.

Doris: How does SkyLand manage to keep the hundreds of objects that comprise it from colliding?

Panel 3
Looking past one of the girls at the Screen, which is showing an orbital diagram of the Park, with Hollow Earth in the center and the other Lands arrayed in orbits around it.

Mike: Hollow Earth is the most massive object in SkyLand. The other six Lands have been set in orbit about it.

Panel 4
The Screen: Black Rock and its orbing Belt are highlighted.

Mike: Each of the Lands has a central massive object around which the other objects revolve, much like moons.
