IN PRINT - 107

























































                                  Previous Strip     Next Strip 

And that's it for this arc. Seriously this time. I've checked with Jim and everything.

The two 10s are looking as if they're going to be quite the visual double act. I can see them cropping up in the back of panels even when I've not asked for them to appear. Luckily I trust Jim's visual judgement on these things. Speaking of which; as much as I would like to take credit for 'The Doors' joke at the end that one was 100% Jim. Kind of wish I'd thought of it though.

Back to the Infinites next week and you guys are in a for a treat. I can't say anymore than that, but just wait....

THE INFINITES Strip 8



So, who guessed that those shadows belonged to the Unbound Doctors fro Big Finish? Give yourselves  a pat on the back. For those of you that don't know them 'Doctor Who Unbound' was a series of 'What if' tales from Big Finish starring new actors in the role of the Doctor. Starting with Geoffrey Bayldon, who just got shunted down a trap door, played a version of the 1st Doctor that never left Gallifey for example. Other actors (and on actress) that appeared in the range included David Warner, David Collings (who had previously been Mawdryn), Derek Jacobi, Arabella Weir (see a female Doctor isn't a new idea) and Michael Jayston reprising his role as the Valeyard.

Hold on; The Valeyard? Wonder if that has something to do with these guys being in his room...
Speaking of the Valeyard and Big Finish, I was very excited to hear about the upcoming release of 'The Trial of the Valeyard' which'll follow on from 'Trial of a Time Lord', at least I was until I discovered it was a subscription only deal until Christmas 2014. So unless Big Finish would like to review it and send me an advance copy I guess I'm waiting till then.

A big thank you goes out to Paul Hanley whose take on the Warner and Collings Doctor was the basis for our versions of them. Thanks, Paul!

Right I'm off, we're still on Facebook and Twitter the rest of the week.

THE INFINITES Strip 7




















































And here we go; the latest Infinites. Nesshead has been working on this pretty much constantly the last few days, in fact I'm pretty sure he hasn't even slept yet. This strip was due last week, but due to a hardware fault Nesshead found himself without his computer, so Jim stepped in with the strip that was due in today. There should be another Infinites next week as the strips need to both be in a certain place so that they're ready for their crossover.

A crossover? Yes, we're going to attempt a crossover of the strips. Now don't worry if you only tend to read one of the strips (although why you would is beyond me, their both a lot of fun) they've been written so that they read just as well separately as they do as a whole. I hope you're taking notes Marvel and DC.

As for the strip itself; I'll apologise now for the lack of punchline, but I needed to progress the story in this one and that meant introducing the five shadows in this particular strip. Who are they? Well I'd like to hear your guesses, I'll neither confirm nor deny until next week, but I'm really looking forward to seeing these guys in the strip. 

In case you're wondering the Valeyard just referred to 'Trial of a Time Lord'. It can be argued that it was the Valeyard's interactions with the 6th Doctor that cemented his place in the Doctor's timeline. Until the trial he was merely a possibility, one of many. It's an argument that I'm certainly convinced by and it would seem that the current production team on New Who feel the same way. I wonder if Michael Jayston could be convinced to come back..?

Anyway, I should get going. I'll leave you, as always, with links to our Facebook and Twitter pages. I'l also remind you of the 'Donate' button at the side of the strip. If you fancy donating to Nesshead's repair costs then click and leave a message in the notes. The same goes for myself, Jim and 2nd Fade. There's always items and costs that go towards putting this strip together.

Anyway, enough hinting. See you all next week.
