12s Last Words...































                                                       Previous In Print



So we haven't put out a strip in a while for one reason or another... With me, (Jim) moving house over the Christmas period, and Alasdair just getting back into writing again. I'm sure we'll be back with more fun and adventures with our favourite Timelord(s) very soon. In the meantime...

IN PRINT - You Won't See This Coming...






















                                        Previous Strip   Next Strip

And I'm back.

I've not been around much of late. Had a little bit of a health scare that's since been resolved, but had taken a good bit of my attention.

But like I said I'm back. I have a whole bunch of main strops written that need typed up and sent to Jim and I'm re-reading the Infinitestate so I can get some scripts off to Jim.

Today's strip was meant to be part of an upcoming arc, but works just as well as an standalone strip. I like the idea of all these 12s wandering around.

IN PRINT - Of Spoons and Scotsmen...



                                                                First   Previous  Next Latest


Spoons.
Admit it, we've all tried to forget the Doctor's skills with the spoons haven't we? Well it turns out that he's been practicing. 
A lot.
And that wasn't the only throwback, I'm pretty sure Ben Miller was playing the Ainley version of the Master, even if he was credited as 'Sheriff of Nottingham'.
I thought the whole episode was fun (apart from the mirrors and the cast off arrow from Silver Nemesis) and am looking forward to seeing 'Listen'. Although that won't be till tomorrow as I won't have a recorder or internet until next week. So shhhhh on spoilers...
You may be interested to know that this strip is available in our Redbubble store. Jim'll link it in as I'm typing this from my phone and sending it to Jim from here.

IN PRINT - THE NEW GUY...

























































                                                  First   Previous  Next Latest

The strip's a little late today. Mainly because I was still drawing it last night and finishing off this morning.

Jim here this week as Alasdair's a busy man this weekend. I've literally only had barely over 24 hours to construct this weekends comic due to going away for a family wedding earlier this week. But I've done it and here it is - more worrying reflections on the new series from 6,7 and 8!!

I might as well take the opportunity here to let you all know that a two page In Print strip will be appearing in the next issue of CSO - The Cult TV fanzine which will be available in the next couple of months. In Print will actually be 'in print'! We'll be letting you know the full details of how to grab yourself a copy as soon it's published. Or head on over to their website - CSO Fanzine  or their page on Facebook - CSO- FACEBOOK to find out first-hand.

We'll be back next week. Don't forget you can check all our updates on our Facebook Group page, please join if you haven't done so already.

                                     Until next time...

IN PRINT - The Doctor and his Blue Box-full of Dinosaurs!



It's amazing how things work out sometimes.

The Bucketful of Dinosaurs was always going to get used during Mike's run, except that before last week we'd planned to use the 2nd Doctor as he was the one that Harry most resembled.

And then we saw 'Deep Breath' and we just knew that it should be the 12th Doctor that should appear instead.

Shortly after that I got an Email from Mike pointing out that this would be a great chance to pay homage to the Chris Achilleos cover of 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs'.

Mike was, of course, absolutely right.

Speaking of 'Deep Breath' I'd just like to take the opportunity to say how much I enjoyed it. And not just because it finished on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. There is fact a blue police box on Buchanan Street, I used to pass it everyday on my way to work before I changed jobs. In fact it's pretty much the only thing I miss about the commute to Glasgow.

The rest of the show was fun as well. There were a few lingering elements from the 11th Doctor, but I'm confident that's meant to be part of the evolution of the Doctor as 12 establishes his own identity. Apart from the chemistry that 12 shared with Clara the highlight for me was when 12 defeated the half faced man purely by talking to him, it had a feel of the 7th Doctor about it, Although the 7th would never have pushed anyone out of a balloon himself. Time will tell on that one.

Anyway, I'd best be going. Keep an eye on our store as there may be variations of today's strip appearing there in the near future.

IN PRINT EPISODE 67































































Surprise!

Turns out that last strip wasn't our last of 'Paradox Now' for this year. Jim wanted you guys to wonder who that bearded guy is over the course of the guest strips. Those of you that know your Whovian history or have read the right books should be able to work out who he is. Feel free to speculate in the comments section or on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
There's three more strips left of this arc once the strip returns, hope you guys are looking forward to seeing how we finish this arc up.

So, 'Time of the Doctor'. I rather enjoyed it. My biggest problem with it was it tried to fit too many ideas into it's running time. I suspect that if the last part of Series 7 had been more arc based rather than standalone episodes then it might have felt a little less cramped.






Having watched various online fan conversations I find it amusing to note that the same people that complained about the the arc being too complicated then complained about the 7b stories being too standalone and are now complaining that the last episode was too rushed. You're never going to keep everybody happy. Steven Moffat still has my interest and support for what's to come and I can't wait to see what he's going to bring us with Peter Capaldi.

Speaking of whom, I quite enjoyed his entrance. Kidneys aside it an exercise in Scottish sarcasm and bluntness and bodes well for the coming series. As a Scotsman I thought "We're probably crashing" was the best response I've ever heard the Doctor give a companion and the mad eyes he gave Clara right after his regeneration give me shivers.

I'm sorry to see Matt Smith go, but I'm also very, very excited for the future.

We're back again in a few days with a Saturday strip. In the mean time have a very happy New Year.
