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
Looking up from a low angle, Babbette looks up at the coffee splotch on the ceiling. In the lower right of the panel, Ernie is leaning over next to Guy, a friendly arm around his shoulders.

Babbette: Tsk! Fourth time in three days.

Ernie: I know just what you need, bro.

Panel 2
Gently grabbing Guy by the upper arm, Ernie guides the uncertain Terran away from the table.


Ernie: There’s only one thing to do in a situation like this.

Ernie (2): We must get thee to Callahan’s!

Guy: But – isn’t that a bar?


Panel 3
In the right foreground, Guy and Bert continue towards the café exit. In the left background, Babbette watches them leave.

Guy: It’s not even midday yet.

Ernie: Callahan’s is open all day, bro. Besides, this is an emergency.


Panel 4
Babbette is talking to someone on her comm. We see a small holodisplay but can’t see clearly who’s on the other end of the link.

Babbette: Mary? Ernie and that UWRS Agent are headed your way. Make sure Reggie isn’t there when they arrive.
