shankieOriginally 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.)
