Strip 702 -- First Seen: 2011-05-13
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
Libby is out on the isthmus, now turned halfway around towards us. She is lifting one foot so that we can see some gooey stuff sticking to her shoe. Libby looks disgusted. We can also see the 'Keep Off The Grass' sign close behind her.
Libby: Oh my god! This grass is full of penguin shit!

Panel 2
Cut to Emily and Robyn, with Robyn aiming her camera and Emily looking annoyed.
Libby (OP): Get ready! I see a dozen penguins dolphin-ing towards me.
Libby (OP): Video them as they leap over me.

Panel 3
Large panel. With Libby holding her arms upward, several penguins are flying gracefully over her.
Libby: WOO HOO!!

Panel 4
Medium shot of Libby, suddenly getting bombarded with three blobs of penguin poop. Libby looks enraged, and a bit off-balance.
Libby: You sons of bitches!
SFX: Plop! Ploop! Plip!!

Panel 5
Libby loses her footing and slides down the matted grass ...
Libby: Gaaah!

Panel 6
And lands almost crotch-deep in the slimy, fetid water.
Libby: Fuuuuuuuck!

Panel 7
Cut to, the girls in a restroom. Libby, now clad just in bra and panties, is towling her hair dry. Emily is bringing in some clean clothes. Robyn is still holding her camera.
Libby: Give me that recording!
Robyn: Uh, well, I sort of already sent it to Abby Kuan. I thought she would keep it to herself, but ...

Panel 8
Now Libby is looking horrified/angry. Robyn is shrugging apologetically, Emily is trying really hard not to laugh.
Robyn: But she shared it and it got posted on YouTube and, well, it went viral. I guess you're famous.
Libby: Yeah, as Miss Ceres in the Interplanetary Penguin Poop Pageant!
