He lives! Yipee!

And Glitz and the Rani mysteriously vanish. Weird.

Wonderful update!

Nah, they’re just offscreen.

Fabulous! I can really see Two and Seven doing this. They should have their own cartoon when this is over.

You really have paired off the Doctors nicely!

By: spookette

spookette — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 03:32:59 +0000

Oh, that makes me chuckle. The only thing missing is the Second Doctor saying “Oops! Butterfingers!” But I’m not complaining!

Now THAT’S the “Two Doctors” that should have been…LOL

The sixth panel looks really funny comparing the Doctors’ height. If only that was colored.

I love how you’ve drawn Two’s face as he’s saying “For shame.” Perfection!

By: Emery

Emery — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 03:52:40 +0000

I love the 2nd Doctor’s face. “Ooops, prolly shouldn’t be shaking this guy’s hand then, should I?” Brilliant -can’t wait to see how they get out of this!

By: Nikki

Nikki — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 04:40:42 +0000

Brilliant pairing.

I agree Captain Shade, McCoy and Troughton would have been magic together

Ooh! Lovely!

I’m absolutely loving this, Rich!

thank you, thank you, thank you! *BEAM!*

I agree with Nea: Second and Seventh definitely need to share a webcomic when this is over.

By: Sazzmo

Sazzmo — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 09:12:22 +0000

Good to see the 2nd doctor finally back up from getting shot…
Now we just need to wait to see what happened to, just about everyone else and their predicaments…

By: herk

herk — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:13:43 +0000

Yeah for the second Doctor.

And I put my vote in for the Troughton/McCoy webcomic.

Oh this is defiitely so coool (Just how the second Doctor comes in and wants to introduce himself to the new guy because it’s the nice thing to do and it’s DAVROS :D)

By: Lili

Lili — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:43:17 +0000

Lovely paring! And finally a good explanation for the Doctor’s brother story *grin*
Wonderful, can’t wait for the next part.

By: Pheonix

Pheonix — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:44:59 +0000

Morning Rich.

Lovely banter between Two and Seven, I can totally see that little juggling scene happening

Another vote for a Two and seven spin -off.

Great update! I love these two Doctors teaming up. Looking forward to what comes next!

By: Heather

Heather — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:43:56 +0000

Every morning should start with laughter like this. That’s brilliant - pure Pat Troughton right there. It’s such a pity Troughton died right at the start of McCoy’s tenure as the Doctor. They’d definitely have made an excellent pairing onscreen.

Thanks, Rich, for giving us a taste of that magic here.

That sixth panel is awesome, you got two’s likeness perfectly. Now we just need to invent a real time machine, so these two actors can actually work together!

By: Lisa

Lisa — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:27:11 +0000

Yay I love being able to see a new page before work.

By: Stressfactor

Stressfactor — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:04:04 +0000

Wonderful!! I love the interaction between Two and Seven and everyone is right — I could have soooo seen Pat Troughton doing something like that. I’d love to know how he got out of his prison cell, though…. sonic screwdriver perhaps? Aafter all, Two was the one who first invented it!

Perfect way to start the day, always look forward to more.

By: Kitti Kat!

Kitti Kat! — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:37:54 +0000

Brilliant! What a perfect way to start the morning! 2 and 7 couldn’t be better! Hilarious! Thanks Rich!!!!

Great stuff! Thanks!

By: Stef

Stef — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:55:59 +0000

It may be a bit stupid, but this is all I have to say- LOL!

That and Two and Seven should have a spin-off together. It would be pwnsome.

I wanna see what everyone else is getting up to though, especially the companions. There’s still more to come.

By: Jim North

Jim North — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:06:37 +0000

If Two and Seven had a series of spin-off adventures together, would Two be Seven’s Companion, or would Seven be Two’s?

By: joe england

joe england — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:21:11 +0000

“For Shame.” Oh God that is the perfect thing to say, right there. Perfect. Perfect moment. Man, Seven and Two make a great comedic duo. They should be on stage, I daresay.

By: Rachel

Rachel — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:05:54 +0000

Yeah, I love how Two is all friendly to Davros until he finds out that he created the Daleks. “For shame” indeed!

By: Laura

Laura — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:22:25 +0000

OMIGOSH, so full of cool! Two, I’ve missed you! I absolutely love the little pass-around they do with the vial. Great expressions, as always. Especially that little “play along” glare Seven gives Two in panel 4.
Oh man. Reminding me immediantly of everything I love about Troughton.

Heheh. “For shame.” Lovely!

By: Jim

Jim — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:49:55 +0000

Yes! 2’s back!
Davros shaking hands? Never thought I’d see that.

By: DrkFire666

DrkFire666 — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:57:13 +0000

Good ol’ Two! Magic, absolutly magic! I’m continually astounded by how well you portray the various Doctors. It’s brilliant.
I also agree with Joe, could you imagine Patrick Troughton and Sylvester McCoy doing a turn on stage? I’d go and see them.

By: Captain Shade

Captain Shade — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:11:33 +0000

Sorry Rich. I seem to have started a snowball. But a 2/7 webcomic would be SOOOOOO kewl.

By: Acadara

Acadara — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:56:04 +0000

My friend started me on this comic to keep me busy between finishing series 2 and watching series 3. It was suppose to take a couple days but only took a night, so now I look forward to more. I get excited when I check my feed and there’s a new page. thanks for the awesome work!

Ooooh, what an awesome conundrum… eliminate the second doctor and you throw every other one after him out of whack.. >.

lol! #2 can indeed pass for #7’s brother, which is kinda scary….and they do make a great team! lol! Them tossing that vial of the Lazar’s Disease around between the two of them is hilarious!

By: Sean

Sean — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 21:34:57 +0000

I keep expecting someone to sneak up behind Davros and snap his little pod thingy shut.

I like the way 2 is drawn in panel six. These two together just works!

It’s like… “Look at what you did. Look at that. You created a race of creatures responsible for billions of deaths throughout the history of the universe. Shame on you! No TV for you mister! And you can forget about dessert!”

Two is the best ever. I love the game of keep-away. It’s so completely in-character for both of them!

A nice bit of Laurel and Hardy-esque business from Two and Seven there. Good work Rich.

By: Louise

Louise — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 19:37:09 +0000

Yes, Rich, I agree whole-heartedly with my fellow WHOligans; this is a lovely episode.

But about Glitz being an endearing character - now there I have to just-as-whole-heartedly disagree. I’ve never actually seen the Dr. Who episodes featuring the character, but I have no reason to think Rich is misrepresenting him; in fact, I’m always struck by how convincingly Rich portrays the canon characters (and others). So…what a despicable, amoral parasite Glitz is!

He’s your classic Neutral Evil (a little D&D reference); an egocentric scum, too glaringly self-interested to be even slightly charming. Good, evil, law, chaos - hey, whatever pays; Glitz doesn’t care! He compares poorly with *Davros* - who at least *has* ethical standards (!)

I don’t think Glitz has any redeeming features, except possibly for the joy he’ll create when I see him come to a very…sticky…end…and preferably sooner than later.

O joy! I’m a purple polygon with just…one…tooth

By: Liz

that is awesome! I can easily see Two and Seven doing that. And then acting like nothing happened. Ha, this is great.

By: Nick

Nick — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 21:40:16 +0000

Hah! But WE’VE seen the further adventures of the Second Doctor, so we KNOW he’ll survive! He’s fine.

By: geck

geck — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 22:50:11 +0000

Hillary: Thank you kindly *bows and curtsies all at once

im starting to wonder, how spectacularly delightful it would be to see a regular animated show, featuring two and seven! , that opens up a whole flood gate of fan based nerdy chills all up and down my spine! WOO!

By: Heather

Heather — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:55:16 +0000

Louise - you’re both right and not right at the same time. Yeah, Glitz is self-serving and amoral. But he’s kind of adorable at the same time. He doesn’t exactly fit into any classic D&D alignments - he’s more Chaotic Greedy (in fact, in much the same way that many PCs are in that game, whatever their stated alignment). Try checking out some Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy and you’ll see more about what sort of character Glitz is. Rich has certainly caught him well here, but he’s also assuming that we all know his backstory - it’s worth your while to watch the eps to get that backstory.

By the way, Rich, you captured the Troughton frown PERFECTLY.

Right now I imagined Sylv singing “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother”!

By: Mreen

Mreen — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:51:43 +0000

Yeah, there’s nothing good about Glitz - but he’ll make you laugh. Not on purpose, but he’ll make you laugh It’s not that he doesn’t like the Doctor or the Doctor’s companions, it’s just that he’ll never do the right thing, just what pays him more. His lack of morals makes him seem like a child that just doesnt know better, which is why Mel thought she needed to ride herd on him and make him behave, leaving the now weight/nutrition reformed Doctor for her new project. Anytime you catch him doing good, expect he’s found a way to be paid, or object to smuggle, and he’s hoping if he does this good deed, the Doctor wont catch on with what he’s carrying off with But …we like him anyway. One of those characters that’s such a character, you can only love them in fiction. Davros, now, he may have a code of sorts, but he’s also an insane, genocidal and if the mood strikes, sadistic. Glitz would never bother with any of those faults, there’s no profit, and no jollies for him.

Heh. Joe england’s comment — “Look at what you did. Look at that. You created a race of creatures responsible for billions of deaths throughout the history of the universe. Shame on you! No TV for you mister! And you can forget about dessert!”” — reminds me of an old filksong, called “Never Set the Cat on Fire”. One verse goes:

“Don’t start an Interstellar war/it has no helpful uses;
When folks ask what you did it for/you’ll only make excuses;
If fifty trillion folks get hurt/you’ll go to be with no dessert;
So mind your manners/as circumstances may require;
and never set the cat on fire.”

This is, of course, apropos of absolutely nothing, but it does seem to synchronize nicely with the wonderful whimsy you’ve built into this strip. Please, please, please keep sailing under BBC Legal’s radar until you’ve finished this wonderful bit of fannish daydream.

And never set the cat on fire.

By: Heather

Heather — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 12:22:56 +0000

Oh God, I’d forgotten that filk song - I used to have a tape of songs a friend of mine put together that was entirely cat-based, but it disappeared in one of my house moves many years ago. It had that one on it, and Feline American Princess, Scaredy Cats, Pride of Chanur, Nobody’s Green Eyes, and a host of others. Thanks for bringing back memories of those.

Another filk tape that’s gone missing is Hip Deep in Heroes - all songs based on Blake’s Seven. It seems impossible to get copies of that these days. *sigh*

Did you get Lukeski’s “I Need A Hiro” :p that was fun.
(Still havent listened to “It Takes A Who”, the Doctor Who song he did. Keep missing it when it airs)

‘Pologies for the late post, I was off line for nearly a month there, but…

On the subject of Seven on the stage, I just recently read a Death’s Head comic where he runs into Seven performing in panto…

I know you’re trying to stay in canon, but if that robot Bounty Hunter was to show up after all ten doctors get back together, it’d be way cool…

…And Lazar’s disease prevents re-generation? Nifty classical allusion there…

Oh, 2 and 7 are great! Fast talk, clowning around, and fancy footwork abound. Also, I love 2 wearing 7’s hat.

By: Nat

Nat — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:01:13 +0000

I’m going to join to crowd of people saying that Two and Seven are indeed fantastic together. Also, “Oh… ahem. For shame.” Excellent.
