Percy: Ever The Skeptic
AH! So that bit about Matt Smith dressed as David Tennant DID have a point!
Tried to introduce some perspective for this comic. Panel one turned out better than past experiments, but I still have a ways to go. However, the second improvement to the comic turned out FANTASTIC! I got some comic-based fonts from BlamBot, and I think they look beautiful! They beat the overused Comic Sans, anyway.
The comment about the screwdriver in panel 4 is a bit of a jab at Doctor Who. The Fifth Doctor went “hands-free” because the producers felt that the sonic screwdriver was becoming a cure-all, and it did not return until very shortly before the Seventh Doctor’s regeneration. From the Ninth Doctor on, it has been the most-used item on the show and has far more capabilities than before. I love the sonic screwdriver, but it has become way too overused in my opinion.
Have fun!

Opening The Closet Door
In case you were wondering (particularly those of you unfamiliar with Doctor Who, Matt Smith is dressed as the Tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant. This was quite tricky for me, because in addition to a character design more complex than my usual, I had to draw Matt Smith’s facial structure with David Tennant’s appearance, as this Matt Smith was still Matt Smith back then. It wasn’t easy. I did enjoy switching the screwdrivers, as the Tenth Doctor used a different design.
The reason for this is because Jorocks would have moved in back in 2009, which was before the Tenth Doctor regenerated into the Eleventh Doctor (the regeneration was on Jan. 1, 2010). Even though our Matt wasn’t quite as obsessed with Doctor Who as he is now, he still was obsessive enough to have David Tennant’s outfit and screwdriver. (Incidentally, I saw the actual outfits worn by both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors when I was in Cardiff.)
I used Rich Morris’s drawings from his fan comic The Ten Doctors as a reference to draw Matt as Ten. His is an absolutely brilliant fan fic, both in story and art, that you should definitely take the time to read if you like Doctor Who (and that’s coming from someone who typically dislikes fan fic as a rule).
Have fun!

Matt Smith
Ref: Sixth Doctor | Eleventh Doctor | Doctor Who
I am pretty sure there is a law saying that if you are going to make any reference to Doctor Who, the “Doctor who?” joke must be said. If there isn’t such a law, there should be. Write to your Congressman today! (And yes, I am aware that Doctor Who is British. Write to your Congressman anyway!)
Anyway, now that Matt Smith has been revealed to merely share the same name and likeness with the show, ON WITH THE PARODY!
Have fun!

Secrets Of The Tower Room
It’s Doctor Who parody time! In case it isn’t clear, Percy is dressed as the Second Doctor with his recorder, Jorocks is dressed at the Fourth Doctor with his sonic screwdriver, and Matt Smith is dressed as the Eleventh Doctor with his screwdriver.
Have fun!
