Simmy's Tales: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Part 2

@ComicWho

The family is growing! Last week we told you that Simmy was going to meet some new friends and here we are... Jack and Ianto are going to join the Master in this unexpected holiday in the Seventies, but the great problem is still unfixed: Gene's collection was ruined by Baby Yana and if they don't want to be killed they have to sort out a solution!!!!

Of course the Back to The Future quote is intentional XD

August 2011

This summer we moved to a new home, so the strips were discontinued and we published only two of them, plus a special cross over, but first things first.

Simmy want his Limeykins back. He knows he's living with the Doctors and he has a special weapon to achive his revenge

Look at Simmy's backpack, isn't it lovely? Anyway, this come from an old saying (stated in the last panel) but it works, the Doctors doesn't like apples very much (you're warned iPhone users ^_^).

We realized a strip to celebrate summer in Comic Who style, we took inspiration from one of the episodes of season 6 and we put togeher Limeykins with the Adiposes

As I told, we didn't have much time to realize a full set of strips this month, but we wanted to publish a sort of gift for our followers making a cross over with one of the greatest BBC series (besides Doctor Who, obviously)

We are talking about Life on Mars, where John Simm (Simmy) plays Sam Tyler, a police inspector sent back in time after an accident. The image is named Gene Hunt because, even if the story is based on the character of Sam Tyler, Gene Genie is unquestionably the true star!

See you space cowboy...

May 2011 - The First Contest

As you may remember, on March we started our first contest, on May 1st we published the results. Our wonderful jury selected their favorite scripts and you can find the top ten at this link.

It was a difficult choice to pick up the winner because there where a lot of good works! The top three received some of our goods as rewards and the first script was finally realized by our great illustrator Elisa.

But there's more... Infact, the top ten scripts were published on our Facebook page where our followers were able to choose their favorite. The winner was published on our blog with the strip drawn by Elisa. You can download the complete collection of scripts at this link.

Anyway, it's time for a new strip! We scheduled the strips taken from the contest starting from the second week of May, just to give Elisa enough time to realize them. The first strip of the month was originally scheduled as the Easter special, but we decided to postpone it because we wanted to remember Elisabeth Sladen with this strip.
Well, originally I had the idea for a Carnival special but then I realize that Carnival was already over. I was about to discard the idea when I though: 'Hey, they are the Doctors, they have a time machine!' so I just adapted the story to fit into the new time setting:

The Torchwood reference came from the fact they were airing some rerun on satellite TV. Even Limeykins was a late addition to the strip (he didn't exists when I wrote the script) but this was an occasion to point out the fact that he's living with the Doctors and he is afraid of coming back to Simmy's house!
As you can notice the Doctors are dressing like other classic Doctors (8th, 5th and 4th) and even Simmy is dressed like a Doctor (the 6th) while Baby Yana is dressing like a Time Lord. Inside Simmy's house you can see all the companions dressed as other Doctors even if the image is too small to understand it (Rose as the 1st, Amy as the 7th, Donna as the 2nd and Martha as the 3rd).

The next two strips are from the contest winner Jonathan Hodges and the Facebook award winner Faith Marie Vinnicombe.

We loved how they came out and we're just planning a new contest like this one! We hope to have the same success of the 2011's.

May was a month full of surprises, infact we introduced also a new series of strips... a sort of Extra strips... we wanted to do something like the Doctor Who Confidentials... showing a sort of behind the scenes of Comic Who. We named them Comic Who Confidentials and we started with a guest wirter, a freind of us: Michela Magnani.

If you didn't understand, the two guys talking with Sherlock are Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat... Actually there were more things in this months, but we're going to talk about that in a separate post!

See you tomorrow!

Before the new strip I have a little remind for you, so be patient and don't look at me with that Cyberman expression:

We live in a timey wimey world, when I first wrote the script for the today strip, Elisa felt in love with the idea of mixing Doctor Who and Life on Mars because of Simmy... when I came back from work she showed me the sketch for this pinup. But while we have a long running schedule for the strips, we just publish pinup whenever they come out from Elisa's mind, so the today story is the "first part" of that story. This is also the first of a four part story which will end with the Christmas Special, so get ready, because we're going to release a lot of strip from today to the Christmas Day!

The Rescue - Teaser

Hi guys,

this time we want to introduce you a new project! A big project (at least bigger on the inside)!

We are going out of the box... literally, we want to make a real comic, not a simple strip... well, it'll half a strip and half a comic! It's to early to talk about this stuff, but it's growing and it's becoming real!

You know, we're crazy, we're mad, and we want to meet a mad man with a box, so here is the idea: Comic Who is going to cross over the Doctor Who universe in an epic comicbook! It will be funny, very funny, very very funny ^_^

I'm actually writing the story (the greatest story never told ^_^)  and I can count on two great artist for the realization of this comic. The Comic Who universe and our tiny doctors will be drawn by the well known Elisa Moriconi, while the Doctor Who universe and its mad characters will be drawn by Jessica Palumbo

We made a little teaser for you and we really hope you like it and you will enjoy our new project. We will give you more information and we'll show you something more precise as soon as the project evolves.
