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!

Panel 2
BtE turns to Robyn.
BtE: Robyn, you can do what you want, but I need some help in the kitchen and some back-up waitressing for Emily.
BtE: I can give you room an' board plus 10 gold grams for 250 centimes' work a decaday, if you're interested.

Panel 3
Looking out from the wall, which puts Robyn on the left, Babbette the Elder at the end of the table, and Babbette the Younger at the right.
Robyn: Uh, I might be, as soon as I find out what's a centime and a decaday.
BtY: I'd take that deal if I were you – it's better than she offered me and I'm her granddaughter!

Panel 4
Looking at Babbette the Elder from Robyn's POV – she's hooked a thumb over her shoulder indicating the crowd of people gathered around.
BtE: Can y' start right now? I got a cafe full o' hungry customers!
