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
Tall panel, exterior shot of the No-PoTo 2, a very tall, cylindrical building of about 300 levels. A couple of miles in the distance we can see another tower, not identical but similar in construction. It is back-lit by a distant Sun just barely above the horizon.
Caption: No-PoTo 2, aka the North Polar Tower, Number Two.
Voice from tower: So yuh think y'can handle hogs, eh?

Panel 2
Kinko stands next to, and somewhat towers over, Sv. Lewis, a swarthy fellow and owner of the pig farm. They are standing at the edge of a large (roughly 3,000 sq. ft.) enclosed area where several swine are rooting around in a layer of muck. Sv. Perry is holding a slop bucket in one hand and with the other, pointing across the area at the biggest swine in the bunch.
Sv. Lewis: Go introduce yourself to the alpha-male over there..

Panel 3
Kinko wades through the muck, holding the bucket by its handle, counter-balancing himself with the other arm extended.
Kinko: Hey, wasamatter, skinny? Don't they feed yuh here?

Panel 4
Close-up on the alpha-male, suddenly raising his head up and casting an angry look.
Alpha-male pig: Hyrwunt?
