What Comes Next

The War is Over. We Won.

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 67

Panel 1
Bert is alone at the cut-off end of the Corridor, cut off from his companions by the emergency pressure door. His orientation makes clear that he’s been knocked about a bit, as well, but the lights are still on and the pressure is holding (well, mostly).

On one of the panels, an electronic display flashes:
PRESSURE BREACH DANGER
CLEAR SECTION IMMEDIATELY

Bert: Unnnnh.. What th’…

Bert (2): Oh, NO.

Panel 2
Reacting quickly, Bert propells himself quickly back along the Corridor towards the Carbon Operations block. Something in his breast pocket beeps at him.

Bert: Gotta get to the block…

SFX: B-DEEP-A-DEEP! B-DEEP-A-DEEP!

Panel 3
Bert carries his PDA/phone in his pocket. He holds it about 25 cm away from his face and looks at the 7x10cm holodisplay it projects just above itself. On it is the face of Fiorella.

PDA: Bert? Where are you? What’s going on?

Bert: I’m hauling ass back to Carbon Ops. What’s your situation?

PDA: Sealed off, blacked out, and leaky. No injuries.

Panel 4
Bert collides with Kent from Carbon Ops, who is barreling along from the opposite direction (they impact shoulder-to-breastbone rather than head-to-head).

Kent: Look out!

Bert: Sh-OOF!!

PDA: Bert?
