Merry Christmas to you and yours.
As for the Christmas strip – it’s made of (that word again) awesome.
And you even found a place for Adric (not my favorite companion, but it’s nice that you timescooped him here), Liz, Jenny, Donna, Mickey, Kamelion, and good ol’ Benton.
May the blessings of our Savior’s birth be with you today and throughout the years to come.
Awww! All the Doctors with their companions! What a nice Christmas!
And I can hear (somewhere in the background) the Master saying to the Rani, “Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Christmas? Bah! Humbug! We failed to stop Christmas from coming!”
Thanks, Rich! Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!
Of course, the Daleks would’ve stood outside the TARDIS singing Christmas carols, but they had so much trouble holding the songbooks (no fingers, doncha know?) and there were also problems with the hats, bonnets, and scarves which I won’t go into….
Another Merry Christmas from me.
Fan-tas-tique! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Rich, you just positively, absolutely ROCK! What a great Christmas gift! I think my fav is 4 getting in a holiday smooooooch!
I half expected a play on “All the Whos down in Whoville.”. Gotta love each Doctor’s style. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and Blessed Yule to all!!!
Most interesting and kind of just how i might think it would be for the Doctor!
But still i think the Doctor would be out there somewhere trying to save someone somewhere somewhen else he is not one to rest to long at anyone one point or place but is kind of tirelessly trying to rescue and salvage what need’s to be done that is why he is so very much more then just naother timelord!
love panel 5….. is doc 6 anti-xmas, or something? he looks like he’s on a verge on a mental breakdown…
‘The Next Doctor’ was pretty good! Not as good as i though, I expected too much, but probably the best christmas episode so far! And now I’m off to watch an all-new wallace and gromit…
MERRY CHRISTMAS
(I don’t think this is a spoiler, but delete it if you want… the Easter 2009 special’s called ‘Planet of the Dead’!)
Aw. I thought Ben & Polly would be with the 2nd Doctor! Great to see Sara Kingdom with the 1st! And Steven has Hi-Fi with him! Is that Katarina just below Hi-Fi? Woo!
Yayyy! I almost missed this trying to follow links from Google on another computer. Made. Of. Awesome!!! You put in Adric…yeeeeee!!!! Not to mention everyone’s favorite Super Temp! And I love the look on Mickey’s face…and I almost missed Adam! And 4’s scarf winding around everyone! And 6 being decorated (wow, I wouldn’t have expected him to put up with that…)! And 2’s hat! and etc. etc.!!!! *you get the picture* And yes, for those of us who are less Who-involved and bad at visual identifying, a list might be a good thing at some point. Definitely looks like Jenny to me in the 1st panel. Is that Romana 1 who looks so freaked out at 4 kissing Romana 2? That feather boa looks familiar… Priceless. Just overall priceless. *forces self to stop ranting…now* _So_ great. Yeah. Excellent. Great Christmas strip!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Yay!!
Merry christmas one and all! Great work Rich, love the treats you lay on for us now and then.
Im off to bed now after a great day. My girlfriend loves me so much she got me a signed photo of Peter Davison as 5 as well as a photo of him signing it… god i love her!
Yeah, panel 7 is amusing, the K-9s are just too cute, Peri and Mel are abosolutly having fun with Six– poor Six! It’s good to see Adric and the UNIT family. But my fave HAS to be Seven and Ace.
lovely, Rich, absolutly lovely, I been hanging out for this, and it well worth the wait merry Christmas to you and your family, and incidently a happy new year!
Happy Holidays, Rich and Hillary, sorry for the late greeting, but I just got the TARDIS 2 functioning again. Apparently got a Petticoat Junction DVD stuck in her TimeSpace interface and kept winding up in Hooterville. Apparently they’re not too keen having a multicoloured police box appearing in the middle of the Shady Rest… ah well.
I’m just waiting for Davros to have an unwelcome niceness attack like Skeletor just ’cause it’s the Christmas episode. Can’t you just hear him coming in on ‘Away in a Manger’?
This makes for a wonderfull Christmas/Birthday present.
Even though it probalbly (sp) wasn’t meant as such. The Birthday part, anyway. XD
Thank you, Rich. And a verry merry Christmas to everyone here at The Ten Doctors!
~CoZ
Thank you Rich for this wonderfully entertaining page, I would like to wish all the Ten Doctor’s fans a very happy holidays.
(Yay Morrissey isn’t number 11 ! ! ! )
- Darthnexus78
Beautiful, Rich… Almost my favorite page! (Too many good ones to ignore.) I can’t wait for the story to continue, but I’m glad to see them all together (even Adric).
Ooo, and lucky 4! Tom Baker has kissed both Mary Tamm and Lalla Ward, so it’s great to see the Doctor (in character) giving a little lip service to Romana. Hehehehehehe…
Merry Xmas Rich! and Have a very good year!
Great page, although I may need an aid, since I’m a newcomer to the Whoniverse.
Another thing: that Morrisey guy is NOT 11, right? I guess I’m relieved, I don’t think I liked him
Wow. Oh. My gods. This is awesome. I especially love how you included EVERYone, even Katarina and Sara Kingdom! Wow…
(And I thought _my_ original idea for a Christmas pic, that I gave up on, was going to be elaborate. For the record it was going to be similar to Six’s panel here, except that instead of trimming _him_, Peri was going to be trimming a tree while Mel snuck up on him with a Santa-hat from behind. Among other things, such as Frobisher putting the star on top of the tree and Evelyn having some festive chocolate cake. I gave up because I couldn’t figure out how to fit that many people in. )
Anyway. I think the “woman” in uniform in Three’s group is actually Yates–he grew his hair out fluffy like that towards the end…
Rich, I am amazed. I actually enjoyed this single strip more than I enjoyed “The Next Doctor”
I’ve just woken up, and you’ve already put me in a good mood!
10/10 for the Fourth Doctor and Romana smooch, if only THAT could’ve been in the show!
Hope you’ve had a Merry Christmas, Rich. Nobody deserves a happier Christmas than you (except maybe The Doctor! What is it with Christmas and fullscale invasions? Maybe in outer space, Dec 25th is Destruction Day or something.)
I squealed like a four year old girl twice while reviewing this. Donna! Ian and Barbara! Everybody! Romana snog! Hi-Fi the Panda!!!
Thanks for an awesome drawing. (Everyone looks great; I note particularly that’s your best Mel and your best Sarah Jane yet!) Is that Romana I looking so horrified at Four kissing her future self?
Hope someday we might see this colored. Maybe next Christmas? Please?
That’s right I totally missed Sgt. Benton! Although being huge fan of the Big Finish audios I would have liked to see Charley Pollard with the 8th doctor, or maybe the 6th.
Another little detail I noticed (if my waning eyes deceive me not) in 5’s chorale is that Nyssa is wearing her tiara. How gallant of the Doctor to schlep all the way back to Castrovalva and pick it up.
And Tegan’s still pissed at him for not arriving at Heathrow.
And just how is 6 managing to stand still while Peri and Mel decorate him?

Suggestion For Christmas 2009: The Doctor’s Foes Christmas Sing-A-Long and Buffet.
Ooh! Are you continuing it until next Christmas? The eleventh Doctor might be confirmed by then, DO A SPECIAL APPEARANCE FROM THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR NEXT CHRISTMAS.
I love the look on Mickey’s face, and the fact that Adam’s lurking in the back of the panel with his head socket open. Also, the “Feast of Steven” callback at the end was great. If anyone could identify all of 1’s companions, though, I’d really appreciate it; I recognize Susan, Ian and Barbara, but after them I’m lost.
Incidentally, Rich, if you have any more Celestial Toymaker strips to draw in the series (I doubt it after Omega blew up, but still…), can you reveal his real name to be Alfred?
One’s Companions? As I can see it, from left to right…
Susan Foreman
Ian Chesterton
Barbara Wright
Vicki (no last name given)
Sara Kingdom
(Then the Doctor)
Steven (with his teddy bear–HA! I love it)
The longer-haired brunette woman you can just barely see has gotta be Katarina
Dodo in her little hat and circle-shirt (from “The Celestial Toymaker”, incidentally)
…and finally Ben Jackson with uber-60s Polly Wright (no relation to Barbara…that I know of anyway) in her striped miniskirt and go-go boots. Heh. Yes, she actually dressed like that on the show.
Yes, One definitely wins for highest number of Companions. Of course, two of them snuffed it in the SAME serial, but…
since no one’s mentioned him…I adore Harry Sullivan’s expression. It’s completely priceless. Actually, I adore Harry Sullivan in general, but anyway… and this completely MADE my Christmas. Thank you so much!!
This is FABULOUS! Thank you so much! I love how everyone’s included, the choices of songs to sing, and how they pull them off. What a wonderful Christmas gift!
(If you could bottle the source of your awesomeness, you would make a killing.)
Amazing as always Rich and I hope you had a very good Christmas.
Re: Captain Shade, I love the fact that the got married and divorced in under two years. Matter of fact Lalla Ward once was quoted as saying that Tom was the greatest guy she was ever divorced from.
I actually managed to see this on Christmas itself, but didn’t get the chance to comment until now… But I LOVE this!!! It’s absolutely brilliant, and makes me smile whenever I see it ^_^. Nice to see all the Doctors getting to have a bit of (festive) fun!
Hope you had a great Christmas, and thanks for all the wonderful 10 Doctors pages! ^_^
Great stuff Rich, I hope you and your family (and all the other posters) had a great day, and everyone gets to see the Doctor’s Xmas Special real soon.
And I think I get to be the first to say Happy New Year!!! Really looking forward to see how you wrap this up in 2009 (though I wish it would go on forever!)
A great way to end the year, Rich! Oddly, each carol seems in keeping with that Doctor’s personality…..hope you had a terrific Christmas Rich and may a happy and successful 2009 be yours!
Dn78m, I just cruised on over to YouTube and caught The Next Doctor. Without giving anything away, it was cool. And of course, the lesson for today is that if you live in Doctor Who’s London and Christmas is nigh, holiday somewhere else.
I also cruised some related vids and saw a collection of possible episode titles.
I’m rather surprised that “The Twelve Days of Christmas” wasn’t used with this.
Ten Time Lords Beaming,
Nine Companions Dancing,
Eight Daleks Exterminating,
Seven Cybermen Slaying,
Six Autons Collapsing,
Five Golden Staaaars,
Four Masters,
Three French Drinks,
Two Lost Loves,
And a TARDIS started it allll.
Fantastic Rich…..Brillant…..I also liked the one from last year…..great panels from a great guy
Hope you and yours had a nice Christmas and all the best for the New Year coming
I think Cate means that since Martha and Donna are in the Christmas Special, why not add 10.5 as well? Not that 10.5 should be in the story a few years before 10.5 was more than a fraction of himself.
i think romana 1 is in shock that she in her next incarnation gets snogged by a 759 year old timelord in a very brown coat with a geeky grin and a humongous scarf while leela is just shocked and harry looks like he wants to throw up
i think romana 1 is in shock that she in her next incarnation gets snogged by a 759 year old timelord in a very brown coat with a geeky grin and a humongous scarf while leela is just shocked and harry looks like he wants to throw up!!
Where to start? I notice Adam with the infoport in the background. Dr 7 looks like he’ll burst something if he continues any longer. Dr 6’s look as he is being decorated like a tree…classic. Adric even shows up. The fourth Doctors companions look as the Doctor kisses Romana II…very funny. And Benton…I think it’s him, singing. Last, but certainly not least, Dr 1 is holding the panel.
You comix were the highlight of 2008. I look forward to this years series of comix.
Merry Belated Christmas to Rich and Hilary and my fellow readers.
The Eleventh Doctor is known, official and with an unambiguous gendre as of tomorrow, so now you can answer my request and put the Eleventh Doctor in this comic.
Hi, we’re back, and yes, there will be more “10 Doctors” very soon. Just give us a chance to settle back into being home again.
Thank you very much for all the holiday wishes! I hope you all had a great time as well and I’m looking foreward to reading and answering comments in the year to come!
Stuck with us, there’s lots more comic to come.
Eugene:
Very nice! Well done!
Jayster:
Lalla Ward, yes. Heheh..
JonBob:
No, it’s supposed to be Jenny. I drew her with Peter Davison’s dot-eyes.
Eocene4ever:
Yes it is! Good catch!
Mark:
I don’t think the Celestial Toymaker’s real name is Alfred. It seems to me unlikely that Batman’s butler and this guy are the same, dispite appearances. No more than Maxil and the 6th Doctor being the same guy.
The Toymaker’s real name MIGHT be Hedin, though….
Lily Knotwise:
You don’t like the Romana/Doctor thing? Hahhahahaha…
It’s the only one that makes any sense to me, considering that a)they’re both Time Lords and b) they got married in RL, even if only for a short time. Personally I chose to believe that the characters never did anything like that in the series (the departure scene might have been a bit more emotional if it had), but it amused me to imagine Tom Baker and Lalla Ward getting a little tipsy during the “filming” of my Christmas Special and getting a little “into” it all.
Cate Morgan:
*shudder* We don’t talk about 10.5 here…
Os:
Partying I would imagine.
Remorse1994:
My writing isn’t as good as my comicking.
And a Merry Christmas to you too Rich
A very merry christmas too all of man (and Time Lord) kind!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
As for the Christmas strip – it’s made of (that word again) awesome.

Awww! All the Doctors with their companions! What a nice Christmas!
And I can hear (somewhere in the background) the Master saying to the Rani, “Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Christmas? Bah! Humbug! We failed to stop Christmas from coming!”
Thanks, Rich! Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!
Mitchell: You missed Adam, tucked away in the background of panel 2!
Of course, the Daleks would’ve stood outside the TARDIS singing Christmas carols, but they had so much trouble holding the songbooks (no fingers, doncha know?) and there were also problems with the hats, bonnets, and scarves which I won’t go into….
Another Merry Christmas from me.
Haha, panel 7 IV just laying a big smooch on Romana lol
Merry Christmas to everyone! <3
Happy Holidays to you Rich and to the other readers of your fantastic webcomic. Keep up the great work and we’ll keep reading.
Thank you so much for this comic strip and all of the Ten Doctors. I can’t tell you how much my family and I enjoy them.
Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays!
Woo, Romana snog! And I love just the tiny hint of Adam snuck in behind Nine and Rose.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas
Gather round the 6thmas tree and be merry l3
Merry Christmas!
Damn. I think I’m in love.
Merry Christmas! Wonderful to see Donna and Jenny with Ten!
…and Five switched out his celery for holly!
Merry Christmas!! ‘have a good one &,if U can, enjoy ‘The Next Doctor’
Merry Christmas all!
Fan-tas-tique! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Rich, you just positively, absolutely ROCK! What a great Christmas gift! I think my fav is 4 getting in a holiday smooooooch!
Merry Christmas to all!
Happy Christmas Rich, and to all!!!
*sniffles* Oh, awesome! What a merry christmas greeting. The same in return, and thank you so much for all your hard work.
I half expected a play on “All the Whos down in Whoville.”. Gotta love each Doctor’s style. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and Blessed Yule to all!!!
That…was…AWESOME!
Really, each one was awesome! Love it!
Oh! And I got a Doctor Who Scarf for Christmas! Joy to the world indeed!
Happy Christmas, Rich. Here a gift, Idrew and coloured. Sorry It not Doctor Who, because it the only Christmas Picture I drew this year.
http://homepage.eircom.net/~eugenebttf/Kim%20Possible%20at%20Christmas.jpg
Most interesting and kind of just how i might think it would be for the Doctor!
But still i think the Doctor would be out there somewhere trying to save someone somewhere somewhen else he is not one to rest to long at anyone one point or place but is kind of tirelessly trying to rescue and salvage what need’s to be done that is why he is so very much more then just naother timelord!
Jay!
love panel 5….. is doc 6 anti-xmas, or something? he looks like he’s on a verge on a mental breakdown…
‘The Next Doctor’ was pretty good! Not as good as i though, I expected too much, but probably the best christmas episode so far! And now I’m off to watch an all-new wallace and gromit…
MERRY CHRISTMAS
(I don’t think this is a spoiler, but delete it if you want… the Easter 2009 special’s called ‘Planet of the Dead’!)
Oh and panel 7- a reference to Tom Baker and what-its-name’s short marriage?
Isn’t that Astrid with Ten, not Jenny? Looks like her uniform.
Wow! It’s EVERYBODY! Thanks so much, Rich!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to everyone!
Aw. I thought Ben & Polly would be with the 2nd Doctor! Great to see Sara Kingdom with the 1st! And Steven has Hi-Fi with him! Is that Katarina just below Hi-Fi? Woo!
From what (admittedly very little) I know of Ace, she strikes me as a girl who’d want to belt out the Kinks’ “Father Christmas”…
Yet another wonderful page Rich!
And I’ll say it again: Merry Christmas to all!!!
Merry Christmas Rich.
Hope you and yours have had a great time.
Heeee, he’s kissing Romana! Love it!
Thank you for the Christmas page. (I think 6 is just pretending to be annoyed but is secretly enjoying it!)
Merry Christmas to all!
Yayyy! I almost missed this trying to follow links from Google on another computer. Made. Of. Awesome!!! You put in Adric…yeeeeee!!!! Not to mention everyone’s favorite Super Temp! And I love the look on Mickey’s face…and I almost missed Adam! And 4’s scarf winding around everyone! And 6 being decorated (wow, I wouldn’t have expected him to put up with that…)! And 2’s hat! and etc. etc.!!!! *you get the picture* And yes, for those of us who are less Who-involved and bad at visual identifying, a list might be a good thing at some point. Definitely looks like Jenny to me in the 1st panel. Is that Romana 1 who looks so freaked out at 4 kissing Romana 2? That feather boa looks familiar… Priceless. Just overall priceless. *forces self to stop ranting…now* _So_ great. Yeah. Excellent. Great Christmas strip!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Yay!!
OK, I’m officially jealous…I would much rather have 4 kissing ME…but anyway…
Happy Holidays to y’all!
a.
I love the selection of songs in this, they all seem to fit each Doctor perfectly.
I wonder what kind of sedatives they’ve got Six on there…
Ha! I just noticed another sneaky bit of fun. In panel 1, Captain Jack has cleverly stationed himself under the mistletoe! Cheeky monkey!
Merry christmas one and all! Great work Rich, love the treats you lay on for us now and then.
Im off to bed now after a great day. My girlfriend loves me so much she got me a signed photo of Peter Davison as 5 as well as a photo of him signing it… god i love her!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Rich!!
Merry Christmas Rich!
Yeah, panel 7 is amusing, the K-9s are just too cute, Peri and Mel are abosolutly having fun with Six– poor Six! It’s good to see Adric and the UNIT family. But my fave HAS to be Seven and Ace.
What a marvelous Christmas gift!
Merry Christmas to Rich, Hilary, and all of you.
Merry Christmas to you too, Rich! Thanks for the treat!
Oh, I LOVED how you drew 4 and Romana kissing! =D
Hurray! Merry Christmas! I love it.
They’re all awesome. Especially Christmas tree Six.
So much Christmas joy.
lovely, Rich, absolutly lovely, I been hanging out for this, and it well worth the wait
merry Christmas to you and your family, and incidently a happy new year!
Hey! I just noticed that there are companions that haven’t/won’t appear in this comic!
Adam….lol. Just LOVE his expression!
from Italy: Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
dall’Italia: Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo
Nunzio
Brilliant Rich – all the missing companions as well – Love them all (cheeky 4)!
Merry Christmas every one!
Happy Holidays, Rich and Hillary, sorry for the late greeting, but I just got the TARDIS 2 functioning again. Apparently got a Petticoat Junction DVD stuck in her TimeSpace interface and kept winding up in Hooterville. Apparently they’re not too keen having a multicoloured police box appearing in the middle of the Shady Rest… ah well.
Anyway, excellent Christmas wishes!
Lovely page! Happy Holidays all!
I’m just waiting for Davros to have an unwelcome niceness attack like Skeletor just ’cause it’s the Christmas episode. Can’t you just hear him coming in on ‘Away in a Manger’?
This makes for a wonderfull Christmas/Birthday present.
Even though it probalbly (sp) wasn’t meant as such. The Birthday part, anyway. XD

Finally the Doc snogs Romana! Yeesh, what were you waiting for??
Merry Christmas, Rich! Hope it was a good one!!
Beautiful, Rich… Almost my favorite page! (Too many good ones to ignore.) I can’t wait for the story to continue, but I’m glad to see them all together (even Adric).
Ooo, and lucky 4! Tom Baker has kissed both Mary Tamm and Lalla Ward, so it’s great to see the Doctor (in character) giving a little lip service to Romana. Hehehehehehe…
Yeha yeah now that all of this holiday rubbish is once more past us can we get back on with the doctor and what he is suppose to be really doing.
come on let’s have more doctor and mystery of himself thta’s what and how it all did begin really in the racktey old tradis!
Wow! Ian and Barbara (AND Ben and Polly!!) Excelsior!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Xmas Rich! and Have a very good year!
Great page, although I may need an aid, since I’m a newcomer to the Whoniverse.
Another thing: that Morrisey guy is NOT 11, right? I guess I’m relieved, I don’t think I liked him
Who is the woman in uniform with the 3rd doctor? I see Sarah, Liz and Jo in the front but I don’t know the other one.
The first doctor wins for most companions! n__n
Merry (belated) Christmas, everyone!
Wow. Oh. My gods. This is awesome. I especially love how you included EVERYone, even Katarina and Sara Kingdom! Wow…

Hope someday we might see this colored. Maybe next Christmas? Please?
LOl, still chuckling about 4 and 5…hah!
Happy none denominational thingy to one and all….no matter what yourt faith
That’s right I totally missed Sgt. Benton! Although being huge fan of the Big Finish audios I would have liked to see Charley Pollard with the 8th doctor, or maybe the 6th.

Rich, thanks for finding the time to make this. All of this.
Happy Holidays.
Ooh! Are you continuing it until next Christmas? The eleventh Doctor might be confirmed by then, DO A SPECIAL APPEARANCE FROM THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR NEXT CHRISTMAS.
Merry Christmas.
That was friggin’ outstanding Rich, thanks and happy holidays!
I love the look on Mickey’s face, and the fact that Adam’s lurking in the back of the panel with his head socket open. Also, the “Feast of Steven” callback at the end was great. If anyone could identify all of 1’s companions, though, I’d really appreciate it; I recognize Susan, Ian and Barbara, but after them I’m lost.

Yes, One definitely wins for highest number of Companions. Of course, two of them snuffed it in the SAME serial, but…
…Notorious
Merry Christmas to you too
Lovely strip, and nice call back to The Daleks’ Masterplan.
Merry Late Christmas To You All!!!
Love how all the Doctors and all their companions are there! Absolutely Brilliant!!!
Plus, 4 finally snogs Romana 2! Hooray!!!
Darthnexus78: Why are you happy that Morrissey probably isn’t Doctor 11? He was great!
As we all know, Morrissey still could be 11.
Doctor likes Jackson Lake, Doctor chooses his form.
(See Romana II and Sixth Doctor)
Outstanding! ’nuff said.
since no one’s mentioned him…I adore Harry Sullivan’s expression. It’s completely priceless. Actually, I adore Harry Sullivan in general, but anyway… and this completely MADE my Christmas. Thank you so much!!
Happy Christmas Rich and A happy new year
Wonderful. I love all the Doctors and the companions.
MERRY CHIRSTMAS!!!
This makes me SOOO happy, thank you for this wonderful gift.
(Except for Four and Romana kissing, that made me throw up in my mouth)
(Sorry, I really hate that ship, DON’T KILL ME CRAZY SHIPPER FANS D:)
But it’s ok, because this is amazing and I love it.
Also, I lol’d at Kamelion.
Have a great holiday everyone, and an awesome New Years too.
This is FABULOUS! Thank you so much! I love how everyone’s included, the choices of songs to sing, and how they pull them off. What a wonderful Christmas gift!
(If you could bottle the source of your awesomeness, you would make a killing.)
Lily….It’s not really shipping. It’s an in-joke, as the actors who played them (Tom Baker, and Lalla Ward) were actually married for a time.
Amazing as always Rich and I hope you had a very good Christmas.
Re: Captain Shade, I love the fact that the got married and divorced in under two years. Matter of fact Lalla Ward once was quoted as saying that Tom was the greatest guy she was ever divorced from.
That’s just what I wanted! How did you know?
(The Ten Doctors — the gift that keeps on giving!)
You made the 4/Romana shipper in me very happy.
I actually managed to see this on Christmas itself, but didn’t get the chance to comment until now… But I LOVE this!!! It’s absolutely brilliant, and makes me smile whenever I see it ^_^. Nice to see all the Doctors getting to have a bit of (festive) fun!
Hope you had a great Christmas, and thanks for all the wonderful 10 Doctors pages! ^_^
Lily–yes, it’s less a “ship” (i.e. a fan generated thing) and more a reference to stuff like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGlMTMV_CJo
Love the Doctor-Tree! and the 4th Doctor! This was a great Christmss greeting!
Great stuff Rich, I hope you and your family (and all the other posters) had a great day, and everyone gets to see the Doctor’s Xmas Special real soon.
And I think I get to be the first to say Happy New Year!!! Really looking forward to see how you wrap this up in 2009 (though I wish it would go on forever!)
Romana I is like noooo don’t kiss him, Romana! She is in utter shock lol.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! (Ok I know it’s late but meh)
I LOVE that you added Adric (big Adric fan ^_^) to this comic and I just love Four kissing Romana II (also a big fan of Four/Romana II ^_^).
hahaha like this one.
and the 4 and Romana bit, my bro was freaked out when he saw it lol
4 and Romana = perfect.
And a special guest appearance by Donna. Aw, poor ol’ Donna.
Yay ‘The Next Doctor’ on YouTube ! ! ! Hurray !

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to you! What a superb panel. It’s wonderful.
I like that you added Adam to the back of 9’s and is that Jenny next to Martha? If it is FANTASTIC!
A great way to end the year, Rich! Oddly, each carol seems in keeping with that Doctor’s personality…..hope you had a terrific Christmas Rich and may a happy and successful 2009 be yours!
Dn78m, I just cruised on over to YouTube and caught The Next Doctor. Without giving anything away, it was cool. And of course, the lesson for today is that if you live in Doctor Who’s London and Christmas is nigh, holiday somewhere else.
I also cruised some related vids and saw a collection of possible episode titles.
Which gives me an idea for another forum topic.
Be seeing you.
I’m rather surprised that “The Twelve Days of Christmas” wasn’t used with this.
Ten Time Lords Beaming,
Nine Companions Dancing,
Eight Daleks Exterminating,
Seven Cybermen Slaying,
Six Autons Collapsing,
Five Golden Staaaars,
Four Masters,
Three French Drinks,
Two Lost Loves,
And a TARDIS started it allll.
Like So
Fantastic Rich…..Brillant…..I also liked the one from last year…..great panels from a great guy
Hope you and yours had a nice Christmas and all the best for the New Year coming
Loved Donna…..and Jenny, 10’s was great but what happened to 10.5
10.5 hasn’t happened yet in this story.
Good one, Rich! Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year!
(Speaking of which, what will the Doctors be doing for New Year’s Eve…?)
Cruise on over to the forum – my new topic’s there.
Be seeing you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
^_^
Love the page too! XD
Re Cate: check out the FAQ so you won’t be holding your breath for 10.5.
I think Cate means that since Martha and Donna are in the Christmas Special, why not add 10.5 as well? Not that 10.5 should be in the story a few years before 10.5 was more than a fraction of himself.
i think romana 1 is in shock that she in her next incarnation gets snogged by a 759 year old timelord in a very brown coat with a geeky grin and a humongous scarf while leela is just shocked and harry looks like he wants to throw up

I’ve found a website called whofic – a dr who fan fiction website. Perhaps Rich could adapt it into a story and upload it onto there.
That’s was awesome!!! I just loved every panel
Happy New Year!!!

I just noticed Adam in the second panel. LMAO!
Woah the time’s off. I put that in at midnight. XD
Is that Jenny in Panel 1, on Martha’s right?
~CoZ
?? Who is the person in the top left of panel 1? Is that Jenny or Sally Sparrow or who?
Love 7 with the spoons btw XD
And 4’s Panel
[damn i got to remember all this before i post 3 comments]
Oh wow, One is holding the panel! Awesome!
Where to start? I notice Adam with the infoport in the background. Dr 7 looks like he’ll burst something if he continues any longer. Dr 6’s look as he is being decorated like a tree…classic. Adric even shows up. The fourth Doctors companions look as the Doctor kisses Romana II…very funny. And Benton…I think it’s him, singing. Last, but certainly not least, Dr 1 is holding the panel.
You comix were the highlight of 2008. I look forward to this years series of comix.
Merry Belated Christmas to Rich and Hilary and my fellow readers.
Bravo and Brilliant, Merry Christmas (Late though I may be to the party… Hey- I was traveling!) and a very happy New Year to you and yours!
dunno if anyone knows, but the 11th doc is to be announced tomorrow at 5.35pm GMT!!!
The Eleventh Doctor is known, official and with an unambiguous gendre as of tomorrow, so now you can answer my request and put the Eleventh Doctor in this comic.
: )
Rich dont do requests, its in the FAQ.
We’re back! Read this: http://comics.shipsinker.com/2009/01/02/comments-lockdown-warning/
I’m locking the comments down on this entry, in the fervent belief that some people will actually be forced to take me seriously.
Hi, we’re back, and yes, there will be more “10 Doctors” very soon. Just give us a chance to settle back into being home again.
Thank you very much for all the holiday wishes! I hope you all had a great time as well and I’m looking foreward to reading and answering comments in the year to come!
Stuck with us, there’s lots more comic to come.
Eugene:
Very nice! Well done!
Jayster:
Lalla Ward, yes. Heheh..
JonBob:
No, it’s supposed to be Jenny. I drew her with Peter Davison’s dot-eyes.
Eocene4ever:
Yes it is! Good catch!
Mark:
I don’t think the Celestial Toymaker’s real name is Alfred. It seems to me unlikely that Batman’s butler and this guy are the same, dispite appearances. No more than Maxil and the 6th Doctor being the same guy.
The Toymaker’s real name MIGHT be Hedin, though….
Lily Knotwise:
You don’t like the Romana/Doctor thing? Hahhahahaha…
It’s the only one that makes any sense to me, considering that a)they’re both Time Lords and b) they got married in RL, even if only for a short time. Personally I chose to believe that the characters never did anything like that in the series (the departure scene might have been a bit more emotional if it had), but it amused me to imagine Tom Baker and Lalla Ward getting a little tipsy during the “filming” of my Christmas Special and getting a little “into” it all.
Cate Morgan:
*shudder* We don’t talk about 10.5 here…
Os:
Partying I would imagine.
Remorse1994:
My writing isn’t as good as my comicking.
Child of Zion:
Yup!
Steampunk Cyberman:
Yyyyyyyyynnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnope.
