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 1105
Panel 1AClose-up on one of the floats being pulled under the surface.
SFX: Ploosh
Panel 1B
Medium shot of Bok and his Dad. Bok is excited, Dad is putting a gently controlling hand on one of Box's hands holding his fishing rod.
Bok: I GOT ONE! I GOT ONE!
Dad: You sure did! But don't jerk too hard, son, or you'll just rip the hook out of its mouth.
Dad: Give him a little play, then pull him in.
Panel 2
Bok and Dad start to pull hard on the rod, but the pull-back is stronger than they anticipated – the rod arcs almost to the breaking point.
Bok: Wow, it must be a big one!
Dad: Uh, yeah! I guess so!
Dad: Something's not right here ...
Panel 3
Suddenly a very large robotic fish rises up out of the water, the fishing line leading from its mouth. There is a plate on its upper side that reads 'CITY COR'. Bok and his Dad look at it in horror as they drop the fishing rod.
Dad: Shit!
