IN PRINT - 'SOMETHING' NATURE Part 7








































































And we're done.

"Emotionally vulnerable Science Teachers" made me giggle somewhat, mostly because I work with Science Teachers and none of them are what I would term emotionally vulnerable.

Jim quite often surprises me with these strips. That last panel, for example, didn't have the other Doctors in the background in the script, but I think we can all agree that they belong there. In all the years we've been doing this I can only think of two occasions where I've asked Jim to alter something he's done for, although it's possible Jim'll recall more. Given that we're coming up to the 100th main strip and multiple side strips I think that says something about our working relationship.

Next week we have a guest strip, either from Jesse Lax or Paul Salvi, we're still working on scheduling. But both of these gentlemen are providing guest strips  help Ness catch up to my late writing. So, yeah, guest strips for the next couple of weeks, but you guys know the quality of our guest contributors, you won't be disappointed.

IN PRINT - HUMAN NATURE Cover






















































A new arc. I didn't mean to call this 'Human Nature', that was always a draft name that I never got round to replacing with anything better. So, 'Human Nature' it is. Just don't expect it to be a Cornell type masterpeace.

In fact now that I think about it, why haven't we seen Paul Cornell write anything for New Who since 'Human Nature'? A mystery for another day.

Those of you that have enjoyed Jim's covers in the past will be happy to see that we're starting each arc off with them now. The strip proper starts next week and thanks to our newly reinstated buffer I can tell you that Jim already has it in the bag, in fact it came in whilst my Best Man was over visiting from the States and it got a chuckle from him so hopefully you guys will enjoy it.

Anyway, I'll have a lot more to say about the Cornell versions next week when the arc starts off properly.

See you all then.
