Strip 603 -- First Seen: 2010-12-29
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
Two-shot of Rhonda and Ed at the bar. Ed is seated at Rhonda's left. Ed has shot-glass of whiskey with a larger glass of water beside it.
Ed: Ed Turner. Care for a drink?
Rhonda: Why thank you, yes.

Panel 2
Three-shot of Rhonda, and Ed, and Larry the barkeep – Larry is a heavy-set black man, who somewhat resembles the actor Lawrence Fishburne.
Rhonda: A shot of vodka, please.
Larry: Coming right up.

Panel 3
Glass in hand, Rhonda knocks back the shot in one motion. Behind her and Ed, we can see a table with a few miners at it (not our 'canaries') who are taking notice.
Rhonda: Cheers, Ed.

Panel 4
Rhonda sets her glass on the bar and smiles at Ed as if waiting for something. Ed just grins wryly back at her. The miners behind them are looking at each other and making low-whistling expressions with their mouths.
No dialog.
