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!

Panel 1
Two-shot of Reggie and Guy. Reggie is handing a a paper document with fancy lettering.

Reggie: I do have a suggestion that will work for all of us. You go back and tell your bosses we ain’t got squat.

Reggie (2): We will agree to drop our 80 billion Continental claim in exchange for UW’s agreement not to bother us.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Guy, looking at the new document, a look of total defeat on his face.

Reggie (out of frame): Just have them sign this Treaty of Mutual Indifference and we’ll call it even.

Panel 3
Very narrow panel – Reggie is looking at Guy with an expression of sympathy.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Looking at Reggie over Guy’s shoulder. Guy is still slumped in defeat. Reggie is the soul of compassion.

Reggie: You know, Guy, I hear that when you get that broomstick out of your but, your’re an okay – er, guy. And maybe you have a little bit of the planetoid cowboy in your soul.

Panel 5
Looking at Guy over Reggie’s shoulder. Guy is brightening a little in response to Reggie’s suggestion.

Reggie: The Kingdom of Ceres could use a – ah – Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Reggie (2): After you report back to Terra, and wind up your affairs, you could return here – the job is yours if you want it.
