Strip 610 -- First Seen: 2011-01-07
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
In a sort of multiple-exposure shot, Rhonda swiftly grabs Carlos' arm, spins him around, twists his arm behind his back.
Carlos: Wha-?

Panel 2
Now Rhonda has Carlos pinned in the floor, his arm still twisted behind his back. In the process, one of her breasts has popped out of her leotard. In the background, we see some of the (not her friends) staring at her.
Carlos: HUFF!

Panel 3
Rhonda stands, nonchalantly pushing her breast back in place. She looks over at her three friends, who stand there looking befuddled.
Rhonda: Great plan, Chang.
Rhonda: Let's get the hell out of here and see if we can come up with a better Plan B.

Panel 4
The four canaries, Rhonda in the lead, exit to the right. In the background, we see Ed at the bar Larry behind the bar, and possibly Carlos on the floor.
Ed: Doesn't that strike you as a bit odd, Larry?
Larry: Like maybe they were trying to provoke some sort of incident?

Panel 5
Three-shot – in the foreground, Larry and Ed on either side of the bar. Larry has picked up the Desert Eagle by the barrel end.
Ed: Yeah. What are we missing here?
Larry: Let me hold that cannon behind the bar until 'Carlos the Kid' here has calmed down.

Panel 6
Carlos has gotten up and is approaching Ed at the bar, with more an accusatory demeanor than a threatening one. If room permits show Larry looking back at both of them over his shoulder.
Carlos: Who the hell are you to take my gun?
Carlos: I left Terra to escape this sort of shit!
