The 10 Doctors: page 54
While being lead to their holding areas, the 4th and 9th Doctors coordinate their efforts and make a daring escape!

Ooh, really enjoying this and am glad I found it. Love the dual sonic screwdriver bit.
Can’t wait for more!

I just love how you draw 4, it’s really him
November 6th, 2007 at 8:22 am
Love the sneaky Bad Wolf reference! Ha!
November 6th, 2007 at 8:33 am
Ah, what a joy to see this before I go to work. ^^ And I didn’t even notice the Bad Wolf reference ’til ColinG said something. LOL
November 6th, 2007 at 9:02 am
Nor did I see the BW until you mentioned it! I love visual gags like that. Indeed, 4 is rendered fabulously.
November 6th, 2007 at 9:20 am
I spy with my little eye… a BW reference! Hah! Is that coincidence, or is the phrase going to be rather important in the coming story? I wonder…
Wait, though! As glad as I am that Four and Nine escaped, what about Six and his cunning plan? I wanted to hear what the Dalek told him… Oh well. Stellar work, as always, you get a gold star. *stars you*

Loved the close-ups!

Nine still seems kind of small, here… he’s only two inches shorter than Four. Is space/time distorting between them? Wouldn’t surprise me…

It’s the hair mate.
November 6th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Wait, you just left us dangling with SIx’s plan! Wonderful! You really SHOULD write for Doctor Who.
Good job with Tom and Christopher. Those two are a good team.

ooooOOOOoOHHHh, nice exchange of looks there!, are you pondering what i’m pondering? yes, but wiat will the children look like? nice suspence!
keep up the magic
November 6th, 2007 at 5:20 pm
maybe when all this is over, this weill be a good chance for five to get his sonic screwdriver back WOOOOOO!
November 6th, 2007 at 5:23 pm
Awesome visual portrayal of Four. He and Nine really do make a good team.
November 6th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
I just noticed that Four and Nine have got big honkin’ noses!
November 6th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
One spelling note: It’s supposed to spell “descended”, not “decended”. But otherwise very clever.
November 6th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
I’m with Joe on this one…was Four really that tall?
The bit with the dual screwdrivers is absolutely bril. Love that Time Lord telepathy. It’s like “Wonder Doctors’ powers - activate!”
November 6th, 2007 at 11:02 pm
Hey all!
Thanks for the kind words all! (”Aaarggh!” -the sound of a Cyberman expiring because of a gold star)
As for why the Doctor is so tall… I never bothered to look up their actual sizes. I just went with impressions. The 3rd and 4th Doctors seem very tall to me. Pertwee with his grandios looming brightness and Baker with his lanky ganglyness.
The 1st, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th all seem of average height.
the 2nd and 7th, tiny. I’ve actually met Sylvester McCoy and I towered over him. And I’m not a tall man.
So yeah, I exaggerated, but that’s how they seem in my brain and that’s what I’m drawing here, my recollections and impressions of how these personas operated.
November 6th, 2007 at 11:52 pm
Aahahah! Very clever Bad Wolf ref in there! I almost didn’t spot it.

If anyone’s curious as to the actual sizes of the various Doctors, I did some research and came up with a list. Since I am vain, I will show it off again.
From various sources, here are the respective heights of each of the last eight Doctors. Couldn’t find Hartnell’s or Troughton’s, sorry. Eccleston’s is a little uncertain, some also say he’s 6′0″ even, others say he’s 6′2″.
Jon Pertwee: 6’3”
Tom Baker: 6’3”
Peter Davison: 6’1”
Colin Baker: 6’0”
Sylvester McCoy: 5’6”
Paul McGann: 5’8”
Christopher Eccleston: 6’1”
David Tennant: 6’1”
On further research, Paul McGann might be slightly taller… some sources have him at 5′8.5″, while he himself is quoted as saying he’s 5′9″. I’d like to trust him, but actors are sometimes known to add an inch or two. So who knows? The IMDB has him at 5′10″!
I did hear from someone that Hartnell was around 5′11″, while Troughton was about 5′6″. That could possibly have just been guesswork, though.
November 7th, 2007 at 1:02 am
Heh! What d’you know? I’m taller than ALL of them, by one inch!
November 7th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Ah, I didn’t even catch the BW reference until I went and re-read. I was too captivated by “the look” to notice!!
November 7th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
That’s handy Joe, I think I’ll keep that for future reference.
November 15th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
I just love the looks the Doctors are giving each other in the first 3 panals - telepathy, shelepathy - they both just knew they needed what to do - they’re the Doctor!
Very nice drawings in those exchange of looks there
November 26th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
I like how Doc #4 looks in that last panel. I though he’d looked too skinny in the neck and too “cartoony” in the facial features before. He’s my fave Doctor so I’m likely to be more picky about him than the rest.
Also, this comic strip is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the only way you could make this plotline more complex would be to throw in Bad Wolf. And maybe Torchwood, but no one loves them. Honestly, who would watch that show if it didn’t have Captain Jack Harkness in there? It started out mediocre, and pulled a nosedive like three episodes in.
January 28th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Did you miss the Bad Wolf reference, then?
February 29th, 2008 at 1:15 am
No, which is why I’m curious to see if it actually has anything to do with anything, or if it’s just an Easter Egg. Either way, I’m happy, just interested.
After all, I’ve always wondered how they could have all that lead up with Bad Wolf and not do something…more.
I mean, offing half a million Daleks isn’t bad, and restoring life is a nice touch, but when you have all the power of space and time at your disposal…
Even if it was only for the one time, I wouldn’t be surprised if it caused all sorts of time ripple anomaly distortion rift things, which might be part of the goings-on here.

Agreed. What annoyed me the most was the huge buildup and it turned out not to mean anything at all. Rose just plucked the term out her butt and scattered it around the universe. I thought it was going to have some kind of WOLFY meaning to it. Y’know, like Fenric’s been hunting him or something all season. But no.
March 1st, 2008 at 7:05 pm
To add to the height debate, unless Davison has shrunk (which is entirely possible due to age), he cannot be the same height as Tennant. In “Time Crash,” Tennant is visibly taller. Not by much, but when they stood face to face, Davison definitely had to look up.
Heights fascinate me, anyway.

pareing up 4 and 10 was one of thoughs ideas that make me wonder ‘why didn’t I think of that its so bloody brilliant’
April 16th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Aww, 4 and 9 look so cute together. keep up the good work
