The 4th Doctor realizes that the Daleks are rounding the High Council up and leading them to the lab not so that they can extract information from them, but so that they can be used as genetic material for new Daleks to expand their numbers quickly (rather than waiting for a new batch to grow in a clone tank).
K9 finds the 4th and 5th Doctors and tells them what’s happened to the 8th Doctor, the 10th Doctor and Leela.
Nice Hitchhiker’s reference and keep up the excellent work. I don’t know all the doctors (watched 4 and 5 and some… 9 I think), but this is great fun.
Aww, sweet little battered K-9 delivering the news.
Am I in the top five?
Poor K-9. He can’t take on a Dalek.
of course i love comics that have 4 in them <3 i like the choice of vocab for him. i can hear him saying it in my hand.
and yay things are all coming together!
Panel 1 is one of the best illustrations of Tom baker to date. Nice job.
Rich, Thank you for this wonderful page. A wonderful bit of Doctoresque exposition.
Yay new page! ^_^ *rejoices*
aww poor K-9 *cuddles*
You just know four will say something like I’m not the supreme dalek with that lovable goofy face of his.
Go K9! Bearer of bad news, but he’s the one who got through!
I love the way Four expresses things. No one can combine the silly and the serious quite so well as he did.
Where’s Romana I ?
Four slaps himself on the face and yells “Of course!” in true fashion. Love it.
Yay! Have no fear, K9 is here! XD Wow, and he doesn’t even get confused with time differences and whatnot, not like the Daleks anyway
I swear I could hear K9’s voice saying ‘Danger, Master! Danger!’ 
Ah…it all starts to come together. Loving 4’s *realization!* face in panel 5. Yay! K-9 to the rescue! One wonders how exactly he’s processing all the different doctors. Does he have different names for them, or does he go by regeneration number?
Oh my. I was so happy when I hit refresh and saw the new page arrow. Gotta love the banter between Four and Five. Too bad it’d never last with Four’s ego. And I agree about his ability to mix the silly with the serious. Wonder how they’ll react to one of their incarnations being the Supreme Dalek…Who’s a good K9? That’s right you are…Good K9.
I see Four’s channeling a little bit of Seven there. (”Grubby little protuberances”=”Remembrance of the Daleks!”)
woohoo! glad to see it updated sometime I’m awake
This is gettin’ good! I exect some confusion though. it’s going to be scary when they realise that K9 means that their future is a Dalek!
Ah I knew K-9 had to be somewhere, if he couldn’t do anything directly, at least he gathered the needed information for the right time. Loved the Rememberance reference, though I prefer Seven’s voice for that. In fact I’m looking forward to seeing what Seven and the Rani are doing to cofound Davros silly.
Wow, Rich, you really DO like 4….how eerie that you’ve captured Tom Baker’s voice patterns even in print!
I’m loving this right now! I’m grateful that 4 didn’t yell EUREKA, though….
Good Show, keep up the amazing work! Can’t wait for the next installment!
a.
I love 4’s speech on the poor unfortunates that the Daleks would grab – I can almost see Douglass Adams as your personal script editor with that bit
and then K-9 has to reiterate all they’ve just seen – with a few personal notes they wouldnt have picked up yet!
K9 and 4 – and 5, and then 8, and those stubby remains of 10, to the rescue! Or at least they rescue the stubby remains of 10
one hopes!
Sweet, chocolatey Rich goodness in every page. Ahhhhhhh!
Four and Five should work together again. Maybe in a spinoff series. “Baker and Davison (Regenerated)”
awww…
with his widdle droopy head and widdle bent tail K9 has the cutest robotic body language ever.
kudos to Rich and his mad art skilz
and because i haven’t personally said this yet in regard to the dalek-doctor:
AHHHHHhhhhhh…
NOO000oooooo…
Heeeerrroooooo…
khaaaaaaaaann…
LooongWooorrd…
um, yes i’ll stop now.
Good K9 – let’s go get 10 out of his pepperpot.
Loved 4’s speech – you just know that if the Daleks are going after news readers, they’re really desperate.
Re EricInDairyland: 4 & 5 teaming up again? Why not? They both have good taste in companions (if you can ignore the kid in the pajamas).
i’ve been waiting for a new page for ages and i’m really happy its here. K9 looks so cute.
I love this comic! I was glad to see an update but I have to say, the break was ultimately good because it convinced me to check out YAFGC, which I’m enjoying very much. You’re a great storyteller!
This page is making me geek out. ^_^
And now for the cunning plan. . . a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel. . .
Oh wrong series. . . oops!
…
I don’t have the words. This is Four’s best page to date, just narrowly edging out his visual appriciation of the North American continent.
I certainly can’t wait to see how Four and Five work as a team. Hoo boy, is this going to be GREAT!
What next? The Chancellery Guard turned into Robomen?
agreed(Vroom Socko )
love panel 5!!!
your story is coming together! can’t wait!!
can’t wait!!!
K-9! You are so awesome! And uh, so are you Rich.
K-9 looks utterly dejected. And it’s hard to see what action Four and Five can take… have they arrived to late to help?
Arrrrgh! (PS Liked the ‘Khaaaaan!’ reference earlier, Bardricsampimuoakdown)
Okay that just makes the situation worse if the Doctor is the Dalek Supreme.
Ohh, this looks like the “4’s chance to shine” we where promised a while back!
“Ole’ Sixie” BWAH! It’s far better than “grumpy clown,” which is what I might have chosen.
Fab work as always, Rich!
Erm… one teensy tiny little nitpick… in panel 6, there’s a misspelling. It’s “televised,” no?
*goes back to hiding under her sad little rock*
YAY 4+5=AWESOME (especially when Rich draws them!)! This is not a theory or an opinion. It is fact. K9 looks awesome, too. In fact… *ponders* OH NO! Poor K9 looks like the Daleks were trying to “get their grubby little protuberances on” him, too! Go get them, K9, I’ll just run to the market to buy a hydrogen bomb and we’ll blow them to smithereens! Or Slitheens. It don’t really matter, I suppose…yea, it does. No requests of Rich. Hmmm…
*Runs to find a Picard or Data willing to drop what they’re doing to help*
Ok, must end the madness now. To end on a positive note…love the Scarf Art in panel 8.
~CoZ
I believe Colin referred to himself as ‘Ole Sixie’ in one of the more recent Big Finish interviews. Of course, he also referred to Charley Pollard as ‘another in [his] stable of fillies’ … man, that guy is awesome.
Oh, goody, a new page! I just bet the next one will cut to some other place so we don’t see 4 and 5’s reactions to the fact that one day they will be a Dalek! Nasty future, that.
Unless it was the hair dressers.
I didn’t see the Hitchhiker’s reference, though.
Love 4 smacking himself in the head. oh and poor K9 looks so sad.
Great work Rich
Wondered what happened to K9
Child of Zion & doctor who maniac : This is K9 Mk I who stayed on Gallifrey with Leela, and is just a little worn-out (first reappearance of this model on this comic was waaaaay back on page 67). They have been there for 452 years now (quote Leela page 68).
Y’know, I was half expecting Four to say “Great scott!” like Chris Lloyd in the Back to the Future movies…
Maybe I watch too much TV?
There’s a hitchhiker’s reference? I can’t find it. Shed some light, please?
WOW! does the 4 & 5 freak when they hear that 10 is a dalek?! can’t wait
This has so made my day! SadK9 is so cute!
Oh, Brilliant! Bloody Brilliant! Loving the details of their outfits in panels 1, 2, & especially 5! Noticing their hand gestures in panel 5. The way you “zoom” from a mid-range view to close-ups and back. Yes, a great TB action, and expression in panel 4. (I’ve been re-watching Tom lately on PBS. Just started showing his last season. ) Thank you!
You_will_obay_me: The Hitchhikers reference (I believe) was Four paraphrasing The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where the people of the planet Golgafrincham got rid of a useless 3rd of their population (consisting of hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, management consultants, telephone sanitizers and the like). These people crash-landed on earth, where they became the forefathers of the human race. If I’m wrong, I’m sure Rich will put me right!
I don’t know if anyone else caught, but “televisized” in panel 6? Is that correct? Or is it some Canadianism I am unaware of….? Should it not be “televized” or “televised”?
The powers that be seem to have eaten my first comment! So here I am again…Lovely update, really. Four hitting himself in the head is great, as always, as his is hair (which I still envy and will until the day I die) and sad K9! Ooh, poor robot doggie..
oh, um, nevermind. It’s back now…
Wow an update! I wasn’t expecting one so soon! Thank you Rich you rock!
And gotta love the page, I agree with every1 above 4’s little speech is great, and a question, is it now when 5 and 4 freak out or something over 10’s fate? ‘Cause I’d like to see their reactions
Ahh…exposition.
Hee, I love the way Rich draws expressions. They fit so perfectly. Can’t wait to see the look on 4 and 5’s faces as they realize what’s happened to 10…
I wonder if it’ll take 4 and 5 a bit to realize that more than one of their future incarnations has been captured, since with K9’s wording it wouldn’t be all that easy to tell if you didn’t have prior info. That could lead to some interesting mishaps.
Or not.
I wonder what 4 and 5 will think of 8…..if he’s still *ahem* himself by the time they get to him.
Phew, thanks Rich, I was getting withdrawal symptoms!
Somehow I never thought of Gallifrey having the same “useless third” of the population, I guess they can’t all be dusty Senators. *sigh*
Oh well, there goes another of my illusions.
I have a question, why does K9 not refere to 10 as ‘the doctor master’?
Is it to keep ending as more dramatic as possible?
or because its not ‘his’ Doctor?
also I have a feeling we’ll be seeing 4 whip out the jelly babies very soon as he triumphantly saves the day!
or is this just idle fancy on my part?
^Unless I’m mistaken, this is the K9 that was with Leela on Gallifrey, so his ‘Doctor Master’ is 8. The K9 with 10 as his ‘Master’ was with all the companions and the Brigadier when they went to find 1, and they’re all on Drax’s TARDIS, I think (because he was with Sarah Jane). The third K9 is 4’s, and he should be on Drax’s TARDIS as well, because he was rescued from the Dalek ship by Drax when he met 9.
….Ironically, I can remember all this, but I can only just barely keep up with times tables…..
Ok, I’m a bit confused. Is 10 the Doctor that was made into the Dalek Supreme or was it…Nah! That would be too confusing! I mean how would they get hold of him!?
Lot’s of 4!! *has a happy dance that falls flat on its face when it realizes the seriousness of it all*
4 looks so sad and old all of sudden but I’m glad he’s doing something now–though it was awful fun watching him rage and storm around a lot then pop gigantic grins in Dalek faces XD. Now, a bit like in City of Death, he tries to be optomistic about everything but you can see in his face he’s taking everything veeeerrryyyy seriously.
*heart* keep going, you’re doing wonderfully!
Just a note to let you know that I now have a deviantART gallery up and running. There are only three items on display, but I believe it to be worth your time to mosey on by and take a peek.
Heh… Gallifreyan hairdressers. Sounds like a bad reality show just waiting to happen.
What happens when you ask the Hairdressers of Gallifrey to give makeovers to a roomful of regenerating Council members? Will the President go for High Council fashion, or will she simply want to curl up and dye? Hillarity ensues on the next episode of HEADS UP GALLIFREY!
…Sorry – I couldn’t resist.
LOL @ Kimberly
Very Funny.
Amazing strip man! The whole time I was reading the thing, I was watching the show with the actual voices in my head. Glad to see we have a post up, keep em comin’
Wonderful page! Love it! The details you can see of Drs 4 & 5 in panels 1, 2, and 5 (especially panel 5!) Their hand gestures and clothing! Also, such a TB expression in panel 4! My local PBS station just started the last season of TB. (pout) Thanks, Rich. Hope you’re having a good week.
Which Doctor is K9 referring to?
lol.
Poor delepitated K9 is missing an audio receiver.
Gallifreyian hairdressers?:) To be honest, most Time people have pretty drab hairstyles (in what I’ve seen) so they need one.
Nice one Kimberly
Would Gallifrey actually need Janitors? If Time Lords can devise technology to travel through time, it stands to reason that they might have ‘dirt repelling material’. Actually the Capitol is probably so clean and sterile most time lords and ladies would never have seen dirt. Sorry, I shouldn’t think too much while eating, I’ll get indigestion (and crumbs in the keyboard)
Actually, Faul, usually they’re more commonly known as ‘Waste Management.’ Even Time Lords have to use the bathroom, believe it or not. I also recall some experiments I had at the Academy with some biochemicals and such.
Boy, was the Rani surprised at what I could do with some bread mold and ectoplasm! Don’t fret over K9 though, they’ve survived far worse things than this.
@Darren
Yes, that is the reference I was er, um, referencing.
yes
*puches air*
NEW PAGE
waa-hoo!!
@ Fangarius
Not much of a job though, they would probably have other jobs, not being restricted to the one task.
Again, if a race can travel through time, they could well have developed a more ‘automated’ way of getting rid of waste.
It’s called flushing
@ Capt Shade, good one!
Y’know what? I don’t really think 4 and 5 are gonna freak out, I just like people freaking out, I do want to see their reactions though, I think it must be interesting.
On an unrelated mater, I think the Gallifreyan Hairdressers Reality Show would be awesome. And someone has to take care of the dirt, you can’t count on machines for everything Faul
Well they already have a “Big Brother” style show, what with Rassilon and the Death Zone
Of course they have janitors. Obviously they’ve got technology. Technology is messy. It’s messy to invent and messy to maintain and messy to upgrade.
I’d be far more interested in the fashion designers than the hair dressers. Think of the problems…
“Darn it, you simply CAN’T make the collar any bigger without adding support structures, Epsilonapolycarbonate! I’m an artist, not a bricklay- I mean, architect!”
“Oh, no! The show starts in an hour, and my gown doesn’t fit this new body! Plus, the color totally clashes with my new hair! What will I do?”
“Needs another Seal of Rassilon. …What do you mean, there isn’t room?”
See, with all these Gallifreyan Tv shows popping up, you’ve gotta have “Gallifreys Next Top Model”
You could just imagine them regenerating after every little bitch fight
hey maybe we should move the TV references into a thread over in the forum…
in the interest of saving space and being organized of course. its not that i don’t like you, in fact i really want to hear more, i just happen to be a little OCD-ish.
I’m also dyslexic… talk about conflicting compulsions
Nice one Bardricsampimuoakdown!! Nearly as funny as the concept of a dyslexic dancing to YMCA!!
“Ole Sixie” – Syooooperrrrrb Rich. You shine a light of brilliance on a dark and dull life.
Is the Eleventh (Matt Smith) going to turn up at any point in the far future?
Also.. Gallifreyan news reporters? With a society that stagnant, what do they report?
Can’t wait to see what happens to the Tenth.
@N: Rich already said 11 is not gonna show up, this is the same story he planned before Martha Jones showed up. So no.
And the News Reporters, they report any new thing the Doctor has done, I mean what else there is?
The Gallifreyan News Reporters do stories on dirt, toilets, feathers, light bulbs, and grass growing. My Peach-Faced Lovebird would be more exciting. She IS more exciting! When she’s asleep! Which she is right now.
Gallifreyan News probably isn’t too far removed from high school gossip. Of course, whenever the Doctor comes home for a visit, the Time Lords act like those snobs on the Student Council.
Oh, yeah – I’ve also got loads of stuff at my deviantArt gallery.
Check it out, wontcha?
Mitchell: Stop. One post to a relevant link is fine, more than one – especially to a personal site, especially on the same comments page – is spam. If you want to advertise, buy banner space like all our other advertisers.
We meet a Gallifreyan TV reporter in the Tom Baker episode “The Deadly Assassin”. His name is Runcibel, he’s an old classmate of the Doctor’s who didn’t do very well and is covering the events of the Presidential election. Everyone finds him dull, pedantic and needlessly verbose and his news coverage reflects his style.
on such a doctor who high, i’ve even joined up with big finish, so i can download audio dramas! WOOT
Finally I’ve caught up to the current. I love your comic man great storyline and exploration with all the characters that have been built through the years of Who.
Im just glad you did’nt bring back Adric…that little shit can burn up in that dead sun for all I care.
Awwe – I liked the kid – tho I understand logistically there’s no way to have him and Romana 2 and K9 m3 without dragging 4’s tardis in from e-space and messing up with the Eye of Orion theme. Adric always struck me as exactly like the Doctor must have been as a kid – smart, but enjoys hanging out with the rebellious elements of a strict society, and always willing to overlook things like authority and ownership if it got in the way of having an adventure or helping friends. His ego wasnt quite as big as the Doctors, but he had teenage-itus to help compensate – and his heart was always in the right place.
As much as Adric niggles me, I hate anti-Character-ness or character abuse, grrrrr.
Adric irked me, too – but character bashing gets to me, too. I speak as one who’s done it a few times. Of course, looking back, I find a certain level of fondness for the little guy – it probably didn’t help matters much that Matthew Waterhouse wasn’t an experienced actor at the time.
Adric actually survived the space freighter crash. Here’s a deleted scene from Earthshock that proves it :
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/1433/adricsurvivescc1.jpg
I don’t see why people hate Adric so much. I only saw a couple episodes with him (well, three, if you count Logopolis) but I rather liked him. I’ve met much more annoying people….
@Maki P: That’s right. Doctor Who is actually a Gallifreyen news report on the current escapades of the Doctor, which SOMEHOW ended up getting transmitted to the BBC back in 1963; all this about hiring actors and writers is a clever farce to cover up the fact that the BBC still has no idea how this happened. Transmission abruptly ended due to the effects of the Time War, only to pick up again suddenly in 2005, despite the fact that the news crews would all apparently be dead by now. How did this happen? We may never know…
Q@TeenageMage: Is that the true story (in an episode) or your own? Whichever it is, I declare it CANNON!
~CoZ
TeenageMage: Obviously someone else had to take over due to the lack of surviving Time Lord journalists…
That is why the new series is different in many ways, such as episode formatting and stuff. The newscasters are different, obviously. Who’s the poor bunch of saps crazy enough to stalk the Doctor? I don’t know. All I can say is bless their souls. Can you imagine being the poor camera man? Yeeeesh!
great work, Rich! This is pure genius. Can’t till the next page
new name!
CoZ: That’s a common fan explanation for merging reality with TV. They actually full out did it in StarGate with an alien producing a TV series based on the fact the secret SGC program which the SGC allows to continue since it’s the perfect cover. There’s a hint of it in Doctor Who, in “Remembrance of the Daleks” where Ace clicks on a TV in 1963 and leaves the room just as the announcer is introducing “a new science fiction television program, D–” Unfortunately the timing doesn’t quite jive with the actual real world premiere of Doctor Who, but the idea is there.
Welcome back Rich! I’m always a little slow with these things, I know you’ve been back for a few days already… XD I hope your holiday was good though. ^__^
And you’ve come back with some EXCELLENT and exciting pages too, I am so pleased.
I just made that up because I thought it was funny…..
Actually I was watching ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ today, although I didn’t quite catch that bit. Now I have that weird synthesizer theme song going through my head.
Thanks Lily! The hols were actually really good.
TeenageMage: It is funny! But I’ve heard it many times before. It’s a popular fan conciet.
I say it’s the surviving members of Linda, with a spade – a lot of the filmwork is done by intergalactic branch, obviously.
Re/Darren: If you call living just long enough to get stomped on by a pissed-off T-rex surviving, then I guess he made it.
If he is being followed by a camera crew, wouldnt he have found out by now?
I can imagine him giving them a telling off.
Mind you LINDA does seem a likely candidate, tho i imagine Elton Pope would hae been put off the doctor after what happened.
Hi rich, I dunno if you read the last page’s comments, but what were those 2 thingies in panel 8? Feet… stumps… k9s?
Snaresman: I’m not 100% sure anymore, but I do believe that was meant to be the Doctors’ feet. I’ll check the original page again and let you know.
You mean that rubbish in the top right corner?
Side note: I’m not from Britain, I just sometimes talk like I am.
Oh sorry I misread. So your talking about last page. And sorry for so many comments.
Anyway, for that page I think that it’s the Doctors hiding.
I think the problem with Adric was, IMO, the producers wanted a male version of Zoe (someone who’s scientific and a mathematical genius), and it kind of fell flat about the Fifth Doctor’s run.
Ironically, the FASA game claimed Adric survived when another TARDIS materialized moments before the Cybermen ship crashed (if you recall the strange blue flash before the explosion).
Now though I know Rich’s is using reference from the BBC TV Series only, there was one novelization which was interesting. Called ‘Nightshade,’ it was about an actor who starred on a show similar to ‘Doctor Who,’ but called ‘Nightshade.’
Interesting since it also merged reality with TV in that way. Also in the current Doctor Who, I loved how Martha made an allusion about the connection between The Doctor and The Master. Then The Doctor looks at her in disbelief and states she watches far too much television.
Mainly because before Delgado’s unfortunate death, the writers originally wanted The Master to be somewhat related to The Doctor.
Apologies for the Doctor Whopedia bit, been doing several graveyard shifts, and I’m a bit dodgy at the moment. Still love the strip!
Darren: wonderful cartoon of Adric btw. I dont know I sort of saw Adric as a Luke Skywalker: very whiny and annoying. He was always not listening to the Doctor, wondering off, and getting captured. Then The Doctor had to stop what he was doing (saving the Universe) just to save him.
As for other annoying cast there has been yes. I just dont know…something about Adric…something.
Brilliant capture of the 4th’s Doctor’s monologue.
Ken: That would make Four Obi-wan, and K9 a cross between C-3P0, and R2-D2. And since the Master “killed” Four, that would make him Darth Vader, and ultimately Adric’s father. But that would also make Nyssa his sister, as they’re the same age. Five has the “ship”, and makes him Han. But that would also make Tegan Chewy, as she’s a loud mouth.
No, 5 would be the blue force field version of OB1 – not only the occasional “Run, Luke Run”, watcher style, but he’d sit down and chat with Luke about family history and where the Jedi were going and what Luke’s responsibilities are now. Very 5.
The Cybermen would be Stormtroopers. Turlough would be Lando, as he’s a villain-turned-hero. And who would be Yoda….?
Anybody want to fathom a guess?
Just occurred to me…Peri is Jar Jar.
Both are annoying.
Peri, however, has nicer boobs.
I’ve got a weird feeling that One would be Yoda, but don’t hold me to that.
Maybe Seven…
This slower updating schedule confuses and infuriates us!
Zamael, it doesn’t infuriate -us- at all. It may infuriate you, but you’ll have to learn to be patient.
Seven would make a good wise teacher Yoda — their teaching styles are even close. I would not call Tegan Chewy, not only is she not a good pilot/mechanic, she’s nowhere near hairy enough.
Why don’t you guys take this Doctor Who/Star Wars prattle to the forum where it won’t clog up the comments page?
Starting a new thread is easy!
Lewis: That was a Futurama reference. In all honesty, this infuriates me far less than I said.
How did K-9 get in that state? Surely if he had got shot by a Dalek he would have been completely destroyed?
He’s Leela’s K9, the one that’s been living in the cave outside of the Citadel. Isn’t he?
Zamael:
You might want to be more clear when you’re making joke quotes like that. I also read it on face value and was annoyed. I don’t watch Futurama.
You_Will_Obay_Me:
As Lewis has pointed out, that’s the original K9 who’s been living out in the wates outside of the citadel for hundreds of years with sporadic maintenance.
Just discovered this and I want to day that it is absolutely 100% fantastic!
WEEEEY I’M NOW UP TO DATE! rich this is completely outstanding, top-notch. look forward to new stuff as and when. so just to clarify was that a nicely tucked in hitchhikers reff?! doctor who woudnt be the same without em!
elrossiter x x x x x x
*does another happy dance*
Forgive me if asking this is taboo, but…it’s been a week. When’s the next one coming out? :/
Rich, I know you do this as a favor to us, and you do it when your muse is inspired, but maybe you should give your muse a teeny-tiny poke, huh?
Just concerned, thass all…
Yanno, before Rich spoiled us before Christmas, he generally posted a new page every couple of weeks. It’s just been one and he may not be back into ‘the groove’ yet. This is answered in the FAQs I do believe.
Zidel333 , nerdfighter?
Chill, guys – we’re living in a Plague House right now. The toddler brought stomach flu home from day care last week and promptly exploded. It’s been a hell of a week.
Ewwwwwww.
I can see this is one monster that the Doctor can’t beat with a string and kettle.
Hope Jenny gets better real soon.
Hi gang. I’m still not feeling myself yet. Kinda delicate but work must go on. Hang in there, please.
We’re hanging, my friend. You take whatever time ya need. Health and family comes first. Just know we miss you.
Sitting on the “Oh Noes” couch under the afghan eating chocolate, drinking hot chocolate or a fine riesling wine and waiting.
Hope everyone a Rich’s House gets well soon. Flu is rough! ~ Emie G.
loving the story!
Yay for a new page! I just clicked the link on a whim and, boom!
I love it when that happens. Five and K9 in the same scene makes me squee. Now we just need Five, Eight, Nine, Ten, Jamie and K9 all together though the squee might deafen passersby. ^^v
*Sends a get-well package on behalf of The Ten Doctors fan following*
Trust me, Rich, we’ll hang. Eat lots of CNS (Chicken Noodle Soup) and do lots of sleeping. We hope to see you guys up and about on the Interweb soon.
Best wishes to all,
CoZ
Hey, guys, sorry to hear about that. I can sympathize, since I’ve endured many a stomach virus myself. No hurries, just rest and get well. I would offer one of my remedies, but usually Grandpa (Vlad) Munster switches them out for one of HIS formulas.. and well, I end up having to conjure up an antidote.
Though, at times, with what pharmacists now pass off as cures, I’d think you’d be better off with Grandpa’s cure..
[Ten Doctor fuming] No, he most certainly WOULD not, FANGARIUS!
[Ninth Fanger smiling] Oh, come now, Doctor, the antlers did drop off in a day or two, and you did stop sounding like Ed Norton in a day or two…
Anyway, hope you guys get better!
Geez! There has to be a twist! Been following this for ages since this was linked on the SFX forum!
I’m actually surprised K9’s still stable… I’m half-expecting him to fall apart at any moment. Bless him
Rich, Hilary: Sorry to hear about the flu. I definitely appreciate your comic, and of course, like everyone else, eagerly check every day for a new page, but I get annoyed at the people who beg and whine for you to post. Honestly, if it were me, it would make me want to post less.
Please take your time to get well and get your life stable. I definitely understand and am ever grateful that you have kept this going as long as you have. I know it’s easy to get burnt out on these types of things.
Get well soon!
Rich and Hillary, get well soon! I had the stomach flu and it’s not fun,
hope everyone gets well soon!
i mean REAL soon!
no one should suffer the curse of the flu…
Oh no! I hope it’s not Gallefreyan flu! What if Rich regenerates into someone who HATES cartooning!?!
Seriously, get well soon, guys. We’re all pulling for you.
Actually I was half expecting the next scene with ten to be as a result of what eight said Him realising he is nakked and shouts NOOOOOO! especially as he is surrounded by daleks!
Get well soon.
I’m hanging on, but by my fingertips…
Oh well I’m sure I can keep my sanity before the next page lol.
DW take your time.
Ah Rich, passing up on the Futurama fun. Guess it’s not for everyone. Still, I can hear The Doctor and one of the companions sharing a modified version of Professor Farnsworth’s angry conversation with Amy -
“You could drop me off on the way!”
“We could, but we WON’T! It’s a TARDIS, not a prom limo!”
Works best with One or Six, I think. And if anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Angry Dome.
Yeah Futurama is great.
Noooo, not chicken noodle soup, EGG DROP soup. Trust me. I’ve fought many a bout of sever bronchitis with it. It breaks the fever & makes you feel way better faster than chicken noodle. It has more poultry goodness, with eggs & broth!
Don’t just eat the soup…swim in it, soak in it, let it seep into every pore of your body.
Then you’ll get better and draw like fiddlebejiggers.
Rich, just in case you do regenerate, chop your hand off
Sorry, couldn’t resist. Get well soon guys.
Poultry soup is all well and good…but You’ll just get ill again with a mobile bag of germs…toddlers! They’re so cute you can’t stay angry at them…and then they spew out both ends and giggle at you, and you wonder why you haven’t killed yourself yet. Dx My mom used to work with three and four year olds. We were so full of diseases.
You must cure the source! I suggest sending five boxes of disinfectant wipes to the nursery. And maybe a haz-mat suit. If that’s a bit drastic…try some of those zinc tablets. They actually do work, if you take them when you start feeling like you’re about to come down with something. And they’re kind of tasty. Oh, and prayer. You’ll be needing it.
No chopping off of the cartoonists hand!
You’ll have to make do with hairclippings and toenails and like all the rest of the timelords. …just keep the jar covered. No one wants to see that.
When Professor Marius made ‘em, they stayed made.
Poor poor Rich, and poor Rich’s family. Don’t worry about us, your health is way more important than this comic. Just get better. Oh, you need popsicles. Sugary ones. And chicken noodle soup. And maybe a gas mask. And stay away from people. Most importantly, GET BETTER!!!
The hairdressers? Hairdresser Daleks? The mind truly boggles…
