IN PRINT - CURATION Part 6

First   Previous  Next  Latest 

Hello!

Yes, we're here. A bit behind schedule, but here.

This week the Doctors are still looking over the misplaced Hitch hikers guide. Next week it's on with the story.

Better go and write it...

On a completely unrelated note; I hate having the cold.

IN PRINT - CURATION Part 5

Sometimes it just all comes together. This arc was always going to centre around wigs, but after last week's revelation regarding the Brig we just had to include his 70s facial hair in our wig guide. Not just that it seemed only natural that Cyber Brig would have need of his old 'tache as there are some things that even Mondasian technology can't handle.

In all seriousness I can't get over the fact that they used the Brig like that. It just feels wrong doesn't it? As always here in the Print 'Verse we deal with horror and disbelief with humour. Which is why Jim's drawn Cyber Brig on my request, although I suspect he already had plans afoot to given how quickly he brought it all together.

My plan had initially been to save Cyber Brig for an 'In Print Extra', but Jim was especially keen on sharing this and he's right; it needs to be shared.

We went for humour, but 2ndFade went for something a bit more haunting. Have a read...

As for today's strip, well it's a riffing on 'The Hitch hiker's Guide to the Galaxy', something of a distant spiritual relation to Classic Who. Well not that distant, Douglas Adam did write both of them at various points. If you've only ever seen the Martin Freeman movie then please go and seek out the BBC series or the books.

You're welcome.

Oh and Nesshead wants to say thanks to everyone who's helped out with his laptop fund. He's not there yet so there's still time to click the below button.

We nearly had to set one up for Jim this week as his PC had a bit of a hissy fit, thankfully he managed to fix it himself.

IN PRINT EPISODE 42

I just couldn't resist some kind of reference to Douglas Adams for strip 42, if you don't get why you then you need to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Seriously.



It also marks a nice point for Jim to sign off for a little while. Before anyone panics I'd like to assure everyone that, like James Bond, Jim will be back. Jim and Mrs Jim are expecting a little Jim in the next wee while and whilst he'll still be drawing the strip it didn't seem fair to expect him to meet deadlines as well as all the fatherly duties he's about to encounter.

And he has plenty to be drawing, scripts for the next 3 or 4 months have been written and sent out with the exception of 'The Propcupboard of Obscure Doom', which needs typed up and sent to 2nd Fade. Once that's done I just need to work a bit ahead on 'Dangling Threads' and 'The Wrong Doctor' and I'll be set for my own Paternity Leave

So, Jim's on Paternity Leave for a bit. He'll still be around on Twitter and suchlike though.

Which brings us onto the other bit of news we have for you today.

While we have some filler strips lined up to fill Jim's slot 'The Infinity Doctors' returns next week. The strip itself has regenerated into 'The Infinites' and are drawn by Nesshead now.

We've been working with Ness behind the scenes now for a while and can't wait to show you the strips he's been producing.

So, we'll see you all next week for Nesshead's first strip and in the meantime you can find us on Twitter or Facebook,
