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
Long shot of Marsha at the podium. We see her over the backs of the crowds' heads. The other Council members seated on the stage are listening with rapt attention.
Marsha: But we are here to help you.
Marsha: The Massachusetts Contingent and the Vesta Council are just like you people.
Marsha: We put our pants on one leg at a time.

Panel 2
Medium close-up of Marsha, waxing rhetorical.
Marsha: We don't want an oppressive government any more than you do.
Marsha: Remember, we escaped from Terra and Taxachusetts.

Panel 3
Same shot, Marsha looking expectantly at the audience. In the upper right corner, draw three crickets inside a circular word balloon with the tail pointed towards the audience.
No dialog.

Panel 4
Marsha looks down, blushing slightly that her little joke fell flat.
Marsha: Uh .. in any case.
