Strip 985 -- First Seen: 2012-06-26
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
Smallish panel. Backstage at the Odeum, Marsha and one of her Council members are talking with Pilgrim Boner.
Marsha: You won't chair the meeting?
Pilgrim: You're on your own -- I am neutral, and tending towards the Locals.

Panel 2
Another small panel. Marsha gives Pilgrim a look of cold contempt.
Marsha: Very well, then.

Panel 3
Shot of the Podium on the stage, which includes the heads and shoulders of the audiencemembers standing near it, all chatting with one another. Marsha is walking towards the podium. The podium is flanked by three chairs on each side in which the council members are seated.
Marsha (thought): Geez, this place is packed.
SFX: [audience hub-bub]
Panel 4
Closer shot of Marsha at the podium, raising her arms. She looks about her with satisfaction. Leave plenty of space above her for the sound effect, 'SILENCE'
Marsha (thought): Hey, they're in a cooperative mood.
Marsha (thought): This is going to be easier than I thought.
