Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
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!
Transcript For Strip 1126
Panel 1Zander and Bok are in a corridor that looks more worn and seedy than in their own tower. They are next to a door that has a small peep-slot in it, and a pair of eyes are peering out at them.
Bok: What's good, master chef?
Eyes: Everything, warrior. Help yourself.
Panel 2
The doorman – a large kid, lets Bok and Zander in but stops Zander.
Doorman: Is that the head of Thraralaxus?
Bok: His mantle only.
Doorman: Okay, you guys pass.
Panel 3
Bok leads Zander through the den full of young people, drinking, smoking and gabbing in small groups. One of the boys waves to Bok.
Zander: You know all these people?
Bok: Some of them. Like Fang over there. Hey, Fang!
Zander: Wh- why is he called 'Fang?'
Panel 4
Zander and Bok are at a counter, where an assortment of bottles and drinking cups are arrayed. Bok is examining one of the bottles.
Bok: I dunno – maybe the same reason I'm called 'Bok' and not 'Bolivar.'
Zander: Can I have a cool nick-name?
Bok: What, you don't like 'Glasshoppa?'
Zander: Shut up.
Panel 5
Zander has a poured drink sitting on the counter in front of him, he's now pouring a glass for Zander from a different bottle.
Bok: Here, since you're not used to booze I'll mix you something light.
Zander: Can't I just have some fruit juice?
Bok: If you're gonna run in my circles ya gotta get acclimated, Zan ...
Voice (OP): Hey, Bok!
Panel 6
Bok and Zander turn to see a rough-looking girl confronting them.
Bok: Oh, hey, DeeDee.
DeeDee: Boney knows you're here, wants to talk to you.
DeeDee: Best not to keep him waiting.
