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

Strip 68

Panel 1
Back in the sealed-off, blacked-out Segment with Guy and Fiorella and Lorna. Lorna is rummaging in a locker behind one of the panel doors. Illumination is still provided by the PDAs on each of their wrists.


Lorna: There’s an emergency oxygen supply should keep us supplied for up to 72 hours.

Lorna (2): But not if it all leaks away first.

SFX (runs across entire top row of panels): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


Panel 2
Vert Small panel. Close shot of Lorna holding up a small device that looks like a soda straw with a double-thick section in the middle.

Lorna: Ah.


Panel 3
Same shot, but now Lorna blows through one end of the straw, and we see bubbles (about 3-5cm in diameter) come out the other end.




SFX: Fwooooo

Panel 4
Normal panel, now we see Lorna, Guy and Fiorella surrounded by scores of these bubbles, which have spread about the room. Lorna has turned back to rummaging in the locker again. Guy is looking alarmed?

Lorna: Leak detectors. They’ll follow the micro-currents and mark where the leaks are.

Guy: Leaks? As in plural?

SFX (runs across entire bottom row of panels): eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
