Aha!!! A new character! Who is she? Well you can probably work it out if you’ve read the books, but if you don’t then all you need is a little patience and the answer will be revealed soon enough. In other news they’ve revealed the new Doctor’s outfit and I’m a little concerned. They need to get this right and this, in my opinion, is their first misstep. If this Doctor fails, for any reason, then people will always assume it was because she was a woman. Hopefully they’ll adapt it as they go. And I’ve just had an idea for a strip...

So. Multiple Masters huh?

Once again we find details ourselves accidentally ahead of the trend. 

In all seriousness this has been needing done for years and I can't wait to see how they do this.

Yes that was my little swipe at people that thought the War Doctor was perhaps the Master or the Valeyard despite having 'as the Doctor' in big flaming letters right next to him the very first time he appeared.

I love the Valeyard, you might have noticed, but I really do get tired of all the 'It's the Valeyard!' yelling each time someone vaguely resembling him or an aspect of him appears. The only exception being the Dream Lord, I mean just look at the direction of 'Amy's Choice' compared to 'The Ultimate Foe'. Not only have the same root (darkest part of the Doctor type stuff), but the teleportation plot device they both use are directed identically!

Anyway, safe to say this new 10 is not the Valeyard, he's just what he appears to be, an earlier form of 10.

Jim was saying to me the other day how chuffed he was that we had enough strips that we could do flashbacks. For my part I was ecstatic to finally address the 8 to 9 regeneration we did in one of early strips. It's been annoying me ever since 'Day of the Doctor'.

In other news I've started back with Loose Canons, a conversation about self publishing with a friend of mine has given me the much needed kick I was needing, More on that in the coming weeks...

IN PRINT EPISODE 46

    

                                                                      Previous Next

See this is what frustrates me about the companions since 2005; he travels throughout time and space, but only seems to collect girls from the early 21st century? In my opinion the most interesting companions in the last few years have been Jack and Rory. One's a Time Agent from the future and the other a recovered 2,000 year old Auton. To mind that's more in keeping with being a Time Lord's travelling companion. River has been interesting, but I'm not sure if I count her as a regular companion.

Given that the current companion has appeared in two other time periods before being revealed as being from the early 21st century I'm still holding out hopes that she might not be a walking cliché. We'll see I guess.

Hope you guys have been enjoying the Doctors watching the show again. Don't worry there's another arc coming, it might even cross over with The Infinites, we'll have to wait and see.

I got a text from Jim earlier this week all excited about pictures of John Hurt turning up on the internet. At first I thought he was just excited to see him appear, but he had a few observations about his outfit that tie into the strip. Mostly because it resembles the gentlemen to the right's outfit. Feel free to discuss his identity in the comments section.

We'll neither confirm nor deny....

IN PRINT EXTRA 6

We've not had an 'Extra' for a while, so here's one that Jim had hiding on his hard drive. I'm actually finding the strip a bit eerie as myself and Tone had been discussing a similar joke for The Wrong Doctor. As it happens we opted not to use it in strip and Tone put his own spin on it to make a Tshirt, which you should all go buy, but like I said it's a little eerie seeing it turn up somewhere else.

I've finally finished writing the Christmas Special, much to Jim's relief. I was looking over the art so far when I realised we were at page 15 and still had a few pages to go. Maybe we should have had this printed, what do you guys think?

A few of the pages I've been sent it a little similar to the Target cover Jim's put up today. Partly because some of them are drawn by 2nd Fade and partly because... well I can't tell you why. Not just yet at any rate.

Anyway, as it stands you'll be seeing the entire story published live on the page on Christmas day! Or perhaps late Christmas Eve as both myself and Jim have families and our wife's may not be happy seeing us on our computers when we should be indulging in family activities.

Either way; it'll be available at Christmas. And like a certain other popular show we may have a few surprise guest stars; celebrity and Sontaran. Stay tuned.

For the record; we had our Sontaran booked long before anyone knew that one would be appearing in the BBC's Who entry for Christmas.

I'd love to say great minds think alike, but I suspect it was pure luck.

Right time for me to go, but before I do just enough time to remind you to check out our Twitter and Facebook feeds.

See you all next week.

IN PRINT EPISODE 28

Previous Next

This strip brings us to the end of the first arc's epilogue.

It's strange how much Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead feels like an epilogue now itself. Knowing so much more about River makes her sacrifice a little more potent. But I digress.

A brand new arc starts the week after next and I'm quite excited about it. Now that we've established just who occupies our little strip it's time to start exploring the group dynamic between the different Doctors a bit more. There may even be hints of an overall plot.

Or maybe I'm just making this up as I go along.

As always keep an eye on our Facebook page, vote if you to see us in literal print and share us if you found us amusing.

Next Saturday should see the second part of The Infinity Doctors. Although it's a guest run it might just have ongoing ramifications for our Doctors. I'm very excited about how the world of In Print is coming together. A special thank you to all the artists that have been involved in bringing this world to life. Especially to Jim whose art anchors the strip and has been consistent in bringing the scripts into focus. We wouldn't have had the Christmas Special if Jim hadn't of insisted we had a story we could tell. It's good to get pushed every so often.
