Doctor Who: Voyager

[shankie]

Originally published in Doctor Who Magazine, this gem was published by Marvel. A review of the book, and DWM comics in general reflects a lot of my feelings, too. There's so much awesome in there. Voyager, by Steve Parkhouse and John Ridgway, is crazy, funny, and occasionally takes the form of more abstract sci-fi; it's what Doctor Who is at its best, which is epic.

This post is not about that. It's about the 6th Doctor and his shape-shifter companion Frobisher (who is a penguin most of the time, personal preference) tripping absurdly through adventures.



There's even a Ring Wraith and Six in a bathtub, ooh la la. Not to mention the robot that attacks with a mop or the trick gun gag.



























Frobisher is now one of my favourite characters; I applaud his refusal to explain being a penguin. Penguins are cool.

Did you know there are gay penguins?

(That was a wicked old in-joke that I never even really made from like, when I was in college. Cuz I'm a dork.)

Ahahaha "Once Upon a Time Lord"! OH GOD PUNS, WHY DO I LOVE THEM SO MUCH?!

Also, the penguin is awesome. I just bought a t-shirt yesterday with a totally pimped-out penguin, and that definitely backs up that opinion. And whoever drew this has drawing Colin-Baker-face down. Yay I love this.

Those puns will get you killed. Just ask Davros. XD

Yay penguins! They're so cool, aren't they? I never saw Happy Feet or March of the Penguins or anything, but... haha

Haha poor Davros never saw it coming. HE STILL AIN'T BOVVERED THO.

I saw part of Happy Feet with my sister but then I got bored partway through and got up and now I don't remember what happened.

Also your icon makes me happy with the splodegasm. I think I'll go make one with text.

Frobisher was 50% of the reason I got into drawing 'Who comics, the other half was that ghastly coat.

My favorite story from around that period was the one with the self-replicating robots, if you know it.

Ooh, I don't think I have read that. Will have to find.

Also, I so love the ghastly coat. It's got nothing on 8's coat, or 9's from Shalka, but.... :D

I must be one of the few; upon seeing the last panel, who went into a spazz over the old Rupert the Bear style comic panelling. xDDD

::giggles:: It's definitely cute. :D

In a totally unrelated subject. I blame you for destroying my brain. I just watched the Disney movie Enchanted and all I could think was of Wally as Giselle and Bruce as Robert. I shouldn't have re-read your crack Disney fics before watching a Disney movie. x___x

You're so to blame. -Facepalm-

Holy damn that's an image and a half. XD

I'm sorry about that. In the "not really now I've got to write another one" way.

Yes Wally running around the park in Gotham wearing a dress made from curtains stolen from Wayne manor singing How does she know? Has nearly broken my ribs from giggling so hard. XDDDD

And oh my gosh....write it. -xDDDDDDDDDDDD
