Dr. WHO, now?
I have to admit something, first of all. Despite writing a semi-sci-fi-themed comic… I have never seen an episode of Dr. Who. I want to. But like with more awesome shows (Walking Dead, for instance), I fear the best/worst… that I’ll REALLY enjoy it and it’ll suck me away from drawing comics for you all. And well, that wouldn’t be good, right? So, can you forgive me now?
Luckily, I know enough about Dr. Who from attending cons and my circle of friends to recognize references in this awesome piece by John Hazard of Frankenstein Superstar. John has been in my webcomic circles both on Facebook and Google+, and a very helpful member of the community. He’s also a teacher at Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, which I actually applied to (and was accepted) back in 1997. I ended up going a school with a full graphic design curriculum to get a BFA, but I was sooooo intrigued by Joe Kubert’s school. His comic “Frankenstein Superstar” is a humorous tale of Frankenstein and his wife, along with other monster-type creatures, trying to make it in real-world New York. Due to the grown-up aspects like marriage, politics and adult life, this comic is not for the kiddies. I know, but it looks so cool! Ask your parents first. Grown-ups, read away and tell your kids how awesome it is just to rub it in. :0)
Now in Stock! WOOOOO-HOOO!

it’s a bigger problem for you Dawn, it’s where to start watching – the show began in 1963 and has had 11 people play The Doctor over the years! And everybody has their favorite Doctor (mine’s David Tennant). What’s cool is Zorphie is channeling Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor (right down to the proper sonic screwdriver).
I know! That does make it even harder… it’s quite overwhelming thinking of how much catching up I’d have to do. John sure did a great job on this, huh?
John really did do a good job. I can’t help but thinking if the current Doctor (Matt Smith) showed up in the Z&F universe, he’d probably take a shine to the Weird Kid, as he’d be the only one who could really understand him – probably even share his fish fingers and custard with him 🙂
Thank you- but I got the Dalek wrong! It’s more of a new-Who model. I realized that when I saw the recent re-creation of the first Dalek story they’re doing for the biopic about the first Doctor.
I think you did a really good job on the Dalek as a caricature, there’s more right about it than wrong.
I’m with you Dawn, never caught on to Dr. Who. Have never watched a full episode, but the newer series seems very cool. Though, I have been a fan of the 4th Doctor, Tom Baker, mainly be cause of his outfit which featured a huge, colorful scarf and cool hat.
Just bought the 3rd book. Get signing, you crazy chick you… 🙂
I think most like that 4th doctor, too. I see that scarf/hat a million times at cons.
THANK SO MUCH for buying the book!!! I’ll ship it to you in a jiffy.
Did I really just say “jiffy”?
Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor) was my first and will always be my favorite. The new series is good, but I’m an old guy- to me nothing can touch the classic. Z is dressed as the 3rd Doctor, Jon Pertwee, who is my second favorite.
Love, Love, Love this!! I am a huge Doctor Who fan, have been for a very long time. I love this piece cause not only does it capture the Doctor well, but it’s a John Pertwee type Doctor which suffered from budgetary constraints that made them have all the episodes occur on 20th Century Earth. So seeing Fred pop out of the Dalek is a bit more humorous to me in the fact that it really makes it more of a prop like you’d see in a budget constrained broadcast than anything, but I may be flying my geek flag a little high on that interpretation. 🙂 One more piece of trivia, Pertwee’s Doctor role was the first colorized version of the series.
