Strip 405 -- First Seen: 2010-03-26
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 in their opposite corners of the alcove. Doris has picked up her wrap and is starting to put it back on.

Doris: Wow. I don't know what to say.

SFX: soft musical notes

Panel 2
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris, waist-up only. Fiorella is blushing as she looks affectionately at Doris.

Fiorella: I do. I kissed a girl and I liked it.

SFX: soft musical notes


Panel 3
Doris now has her wrap on, and Fiorella has found another one and is putting it on.

Doris: So, now what?

Fiorella: I have no idea. I guess we'll just have to see.


Panel 4
The two face one another, and Doris leans forward to give Fiorella a friends-only kiss on the forehead.

Doris: I think we better call a 'truce' until we've both had some time to reflect on this.

Doris: Until then, business as usual. Deal?



Panel 5
The two emerge from the alcove, heading for the exit. All smiles.

Fiorella: Deal. How about we head over to Thrill Land for a little vertigo and possible nausea?

Panel 6
Doris takes Fiorella by the hand as they launch themselves along a tether rope leading across an open area just outside the Big Drop area.

Doris: Works for me!

Panel 7
We see the girls emerge from the Spa through one of the whiffle-holes, still pulling themselves along the tether.
Voice (OP): Hello, ladies.

Panel 8
Looking from behind the girls, who have just turned to confront five men in space navy uniforms, standing on a 'flying carpet' with First Officer William Darling in the center, who grins an evil grin..
Darling: I guess I've caught you with your pants … off.
