Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more crowded… “VWORP! VWORP!” I fell in love with Doctor Who when I was about 8 years old, sometime in 1986 or 1987. It aired around 5:30 PM in winter, just as the sun was setting and it was getting dark. The rich history of the show (even then at 25 years) was enough for me to completely lose myself. During the 1990s, after the show was cancelled, I quickly became a fan of the black & white era of the show. There was an aura about it. Retro, campiness, but also atmosphere and often surprisingly poignant and exciting moments. The amount of missing material also meant it was a jigsaw puzzle waiting for fans like myself to piece it together.

Unlike the majority of fans, I prefer William Hartnell to Troughton’s Doctor. I also thoroughly enjoy the historicals along with the sci-fi. However, today’s TARDIS crew have stepped right out of one of the sci-fi classics of the series, Dalek Master Plan. The companions are Steven and Sara Kingdom (though her status as a companion is debatable… oops I’m going nerd on you!). Anyway, as many of you might have guessed based on my tastes in Star Wars, I am a classic Who fan, and could never get into the new series. Still, I hope this strip will be received in the right humorous spirit as always.

I hinted on our Facebook page that Leanne and I are in a bit of a pickle. As a result we are selling everything we can, including all our remaining Star Wars action figures (at least seven lots on eBay starting on Sunday). Currently I have a bunch of buy it now auctions for various other oddities, mostly action figures and the like. Please help us as we prepare for the seemingly imminent government shut down. And before any smartass tells us Leanne will get paid, please understand that it only works like that for government employees. Leanne is a government contractor and if you aren’t permitted to come in, you don’t get paid. We went through this already last year for three weeks. Only now, if this goes through, we’re going to be hurting even harder!

So, I can live without Star Wars action figures after all. Anyone want to help me find them a new home?

Here’s the link to our eBay.
