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 44

Panel 1
Medium close-up of Reggie, starting to doff his kingly attire – underneath he’s wearing a cotton t-shirt and trousers.

Reggie: But let’s get down to business. How do you guys think I did with our Terran friends?


Panel 2
Two-shot of Bert and Ernie. Bert is leaning forward in his chair.


Bert: Smashing light effects, Reggie! And where did you find that crown?

Ernie: Loved the uniform, too. Came from the Ceres Players production of ‘HMS Pinafore,’ right?


Panel 3
Medium shot of Reggie, carefully folding the uniform jacket.

Reggie: Mostly, though I borrowed some pieces from one of the Spartan costumes in ‘Lysistrata.’ The crown was from ‘Camelot.’


Panel 4
Reggie has turned away from the Guzmans while putting some of the Spartan accouterments in a box atop the filing cabinet. He has a wry smile, and you can see Bert and Ernie exchanging grins behind him.

Reggie: I had to choose between ‘Pinafore’ and ‘The Mikado’ and I was pretty sure I couldn’t pull off the ‘oriental potentate’ act.
