Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2185
Panel 1Cut to: William I. 'Billy' Montoya, a 'tin-man' with a body mimicking a large boa (as seen in Volume 6) is standing next to a liquor cabinet, using armatures to mix a cocktail.
Caption: Meanwhile, across town:
Billy: Well, I'm glad you were able to stop by and see me, Dad.
Billy: It seems we hardly ever get together anymore.
Caption: Atty. William I. Montoya, Esq.
Panel 2
Reverse view, the armature is handing the drink to Albert Montoya.
Albert: I'm sorry I've been so pressed for time lately.
Albert: With any luck this crisis will be past and things can go back to normal.
Billy: 'Normal' may never be the same again.
Panel 3
Albert lounges in a chair as Billy, in his hovercraft, has settled down beside him
Albert: Well, at least I've become accustomed to the body you chose to resurrect into after the … accident.
Billy: Ha-ha! And only after 50 years. That's adaptability, to be sure.
Panel 4
Another angle on the two.
Albert: I could be gone a good long while. Look after the family for me, would you?
Billy: Okay, but I'd like you to bring back a pony for me.
