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 1206
Panel 1Bok is entering his apartment. Santiago is sitting on the sofa, staring at the video wall and not looking too good, but Dorothy is not in the room.
Bok: Hey, I'm home.
Bok: Huh? Aunt Dorothy?
Bok: Where are you?
Santiago: Wuh … wuh … wuh ...
Panel 2
Bok is in the doorway to Dorothy's bedroom, where she is passed out on her bed. We can see an empty wine glass on the nightstand.
Bok: Aunt Dorothy? What are you doing?
Bok: Dad's completely dehydrated!
Bok: You're supposed to … hey, wake up!
Dorothy: {mumble}
Panel 3
Bok is sitting on the sofa with his father, helping him drink some water from a glass with a straw.
Bok: Here ya go, dad, have some nice, fresh water.
Bok: Good, huh?
Bok: I'll get some dinner for you and then it's bed-time.
Panel 4
Bok is in the kitchen, standing near the microwave as it heats up a meal.
SFX: Hmmmmm
Bok (thought): What can I do about this?
Bok: Aunt Dorothy's drinking is a hazard to Dad.
Bok: But if I turn her in for rehab, she'll rat me out for my night-travels.
Panel 5
Bok is back on the sofa with Santiago, hand-feeding him from the supper tray.
Bok: Have some more, Dad. Num-nummers.
Bok (thought): If only there was a way to shore up Aunt Dorothy's …
Bok (thought): Wait! That's it!
Panel 6
Bok is in the kitchen again, spooning something from a bag into an opened jar.
Bok (thought): This 'tartar sauce' should mix in easily with Dorothy's favorite cheese dip.
Bok (thought): Just enough to take the edge off her stress. Hopefully she'll drink less.
