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!

Strip 21

Panel 1
Wide angle shot of Guy and Fiorella standing at the boarding house entrance. Guy may be steadying himself by bracing his arm against the door-jamb (actually it’s an airlock doorway). They are contemplating the large sign which we saw in the last strip, which we can now see large and clearly:

Water Bros. Ice Mining, Boarding House and Café.
Bert & Ernie Guzmán, Proprietors
Proud Sponsors of the 'Ice Hammers' Surface Hockey Team
And the 'Brothers in Arms' CDPA Shooting Squad.


Panel 2
Two-shot of Guy and Fiorella, still looking at the sign. Guy is disapproving.

Guy: 'Brothers in Arms'

Guy (2): Sounds rather primitive, don’t you think? Actually, so does hockey. What a barbaric relic.

Panel 3
Guy is moving past Fiorella into the airlock doorway, bracing himself with one hand on the door-jamb. Fiorella is looking at him sideways but otherwise expressionless.

Guy: Personally, I'm proud to be ignorant of football, baseball, basketball and all the other 'ball and stick' games so many of our UWRS contemporaries seemed to love so much.
