IN PRINT EPISODE 38

There you have it. For anyone who ever wondered where the Master in Scream of the Shalka came from; this is my version of events. And since it's the only version of events It's going to have to do.

This strip also includes my take on what happened to the Master after the TV Movie. Has anyone else ever addressed that point before? Surely I'm not the first on that one.

The strip has deviated somewhat from it's initial premise, maybe one day I'll get back to 7 and 8 screaming at the television set as Matt Smith annoys them, but for now I'm quite happy exploring obscure continuity. Hopefully you're ok with it as well.

Kasterborous ran an article about us this week. Apart from calling us a "popular online comic featuring all versions of the Doctor that you can imagine", which made me smile, they also queried just what we were up to with The Wrong Doctor.

It's a fair question and one that needs something of an answer. Tone Cartoons went into a small amount of detail over on his Facebook page for The Daily Dalek, but since not everyone follows him (your loss I'm afraid, we love the Daily Dalek!) I thought we'd post something here as well.

The premise for The Wrong Doctor is remarkably simple; what if a different version of the Doctor went on a previous or future regeneration's adventure? Given that there's a been a Time War and the Doctor has lost a handful of centuries it would make sense that some cutting and pasting of his personal time line might occur. How would the 4th Doctor have dealt with Ian and Barbara finding the TARDIS for example?

It's an idea that I proposed on Gallifrey Base a few years ago and it's been percolating in the back of my head ever since.

Tone and I are now working on the first few scripts and arcs as well as coming up with 'rules' to keep things consistent.

I'm also working on finishing our Christmas Special (it's 75% written), The Infinites and Dangling Threads.

If only I got paid for my time behind the keyboard.

Good thing I enjoy it really isn't it.

That's me for another week, just enough time to remind you all that we're still on Twitter and Facebook, feel free to follow and like us there.

IN PRINT EPISODE 37

Previous Next

At last we finally know what was behind that door in the God Complex. Or least we know what I think was behind the door. Of course it was the Doctor, or least a dark distillation of him.

This is the third time the Valeyard has turned up in this strip. The first time it was in a guest strip by Paul Salvi, the second was more recently in The Infinity Doctors. You'll notice that he's acquired a Special Weapons Dalek since the last time we were in here, there's a story there and you'll find it here.

We're almost ready to announce the winner of the "Next Infinity Doctors" artist, however not all the entries are in just yet and we won't make a final judgement until everyone has had their chance. Soon though, very soon.

So, that'll be another artist on board. Did you know that none of the team that bring you In Print have actually met each other? I'm in Scotland, Jim and 2nd Fade live in England and Jesse hails from one of our former colonies. We'd all really like to meet up for a drink sometime and plan out In Print in person and over a pint. But since In Print doesn't bring us any income and we all have families it doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon. Of course if any of you want to contribute to the In Print Pub Fund then feel free to click on the donate button below. Or not. It's entirely up to you.

Of course if you want to just contribute towards Jim, 2nd Fade or Jesse getting a digital drawing pad or a Tablet for myself so that I can write strips on the move; then the same button applies, just let us know what you're contributing towards. Or just keep reading and don't worry about it, because quite frankly we'll keep making the comic anyway. We're enjoying ourselves far too much.

Other ways to support us is to use our shop whenever you make an Amazon purchase or by clicking the advert on the right hand side of the page or expressing interest in a printed book.

Right, plugging over.

In actual strip related business I'm sure a few of you are wondering why the Master keeps regenerating and why he isn't regenerating in order. There's a very good reason for that, there's also a very good reason why we haven't seen the Derek Jacobi Master. All these things shall be revealed in time.

Believe it or not there is a plan.

I'm still not quite ready to discuss The Angels take Manhattan, but in the mean time you can always check out Joel Watson's take on it over at Hijinks Ensue. He makes a very valid point, only Martha got a traditional Companions exit.

Anyway, we'll see you all next week for Jesse's final Infinity Doctors. In the mean time we're still on Twitter and Facebook, feel free to follow and like us there.

THE INFINITY DOCTORS - Strip 2 JESSE LAX

Previous Next

And we're back with the Infinity Doctors. I do hope we've all been keeping up, especially as we have more guest stars appearing during this run of Guest Prints from Jesse.

It would seem that the Shalka Doctor is up to no good. Which is strange, because he's still the Doctor, right? Right?

I always thought that I would be limited in the number of characters for this strip. In fact it was only ever meant to be 7 and 8 starring, but the other Doctors just keep forcing their way in. I guess with an ego as big as they all have they were never going to sit quietly in the corner and let 7 and 8 hog the lime light.

In fact next week one of the earlier Doctors will be coming to the fore.

In the mean time enjoy today's strip, like the Facebook page and follow us on Twitter.

Oh and Jim got interviewed again. He comes across well I thought, but leaves one question unanswered: when is someone going to interview Al? Seriously; I cry myself to sleep about this every night.

Feedback on a printed version of our strip has been sadly underwhelming. We'll leave the link up a little longer, but unless we get some feedback soon we'll need to drop the plan for just now.

In the mean time you can support us by buying items from our Amazon Store.

See you next week folks.

IN PRINT EPISODE 26

For anyone who has ever wondered if our heroes ever watch anything else on their telly here's the answer.

Of course they watch Sherlock, 7 has been a fan of Steven Moffat ever since Continuity Errors. He has Press Gang, Joking Apart and Coupling sitting in his DVD collection.

One day he hopes to regenerate into Jack Davenport.

To tell you the truth that would make me happy as well, if we have to replace Matt Smith may it be by the only man who could handle a Cyberman Spank Inferno!
