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 1174
Panel 1Bok enters the family's new apartment. In the foreground, we see Dorothy and Santiago sitting on the sofa. Dorothy is looking at a tablet she's holding; Santiago is gazing up at the large video screen OP.
Bok: So how did the day go, Aunt ...
Bok: … huh.
Screen (OP): Ruth, why didn't you tell me Zachary wasn't at the winery.
Panel 2
Angled view so that we are looking from behind the sofa. Bok is looking at his father, Santiago is gazing at the video screen, which appears to be showing some kind of drama program. Dorothy has turned to speak with Bok.
Bok: Is he … actually watching the video?
Dorothy: I'm not sure, really. It does seem to hold his attention, somehow.
Screen (Female character): I'm sorry, Torvald, but … we thought it would be better that you didn't know.
Panel 3
Angled view away from the video screen so we can see the characters' faces. Dorothy is looking back at her tablet, Santiago is gazing at the screen, enraptured. Bok is looking at the screen dubiously.
Dorothy: Nurse Demeanor suggested this. She said it would stimulate his cognition.
Bok: I'm not sure that 'stimulate' is the right word.
Screen (OP): Dammit, how can we re-establish the trust in our relationship if you're not truthful to me?
