Simmy's Tales: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Part 3

@ComicWho

It's time to read the conclusion of the first story of the Simmy's Tales. We really hope you liked this and we have another little surprise to complete this trilogy, but you have to wait for this Friday ^_^. As you may know, we are going to attend to the DW Convention next week, so we are not going to publish a new strip on Monday, 26th.

Have fun with our new team and get ready for some great news...

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

Simmy's Tales: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Part 1

It's time to do something new! We had a lot of requests to introduce some old characters like classic Doctors and/or classic enemies, but it's actually very hard to do this with "our" timeline! Hey, but we have a character who was sent back in the Seventies for a few strips! Yes, we are talking about Simmy and his time leap occurred in this strip. Oh well, we know that our Eccly, Tenny and Smithy came back to "rescue" him on last year Christmas Special, but what happened in the meantime? We don't know exactly in which year the Doctors came back for him, so we don't know how many adventure he lived with baby Yana and his new friends (yes, he is going to meet some new "unexpected" friends) but I'm sure we are going to find out!

With great proud let me to introduce you the "Simmy's Tales": Our new series of strips which starts with a three part story, we really hope you will enjoy it!

Simmy & Baby Yana

December 2011 - Season Finale

This is the last chapter of our first year of Comic Who, call it the season finale! We chose to dedicate all the strips of this month to one of the most favorite character in 2011, we are talking about Simmy! We published three different stories connected each other which ended with the Christmas Special.

The first one was an old script which gives Elisa inspiration for this image. We sent Simmy back in the past without a TARDIS and without a DeLorean, so he is going to be stuck in the 70s and it's all Yana's fault.

This is a clear reference to Life on Mars... Did I already said we love that series? Well, it's not a secret, John Simm is a great actor and Gene Hunt is a great character!!!!!

Anyway we are now in the 70s, one year after the accident and Simmy is still stuck in the past. But every ages has its own Doctor and in the 1974 a new Doctor came in town with a baby version of himself (sounds familiar?). Welcome back Bakey (the 4th Doctor) with his young child Bakey Jr (the 6th Doctor).

We loved to introduce old Doctors, so we are planning to use them even in the next season...how cute are Bakey Jr and Baby Yana in the last panel?

Anyway, Christmas is coming and Simmy has no friends in the 70s, but as I said it's Christmas time and miracles happen and sometimes even foes become friends. This is our great finale for a great year of strips!

The year is gone, a long and wonderful year, but a lot of new stuffs are coming in this 2012 but before to leave you, I want to show you the images sent by our followers and selected by us as the winners of the Christmas contest. If you want to see them all just hit this link!

The countdown is going on! Two days to the Comic Who birthday and we are not short of surprises yet!

See you tomorrow!

March 2011

Here we are with another appointment with the Comic Who history! March was a very special month with a lot of new stuff.

We started with one of my favourite strips: At the beginning, we faced the problem of Eccly and Tenny's screwdriver. In the TV series they share the same one, only Smithy has his own. So we thought it could be funny to make them fight for it. The idea was simple but Elisa made it great:

In the second panel they break the "blu" screwdriver, this is a tiny element we carried on in the next strips. Everytime we had a close-up on that screwdriver, we drew it mended with a plaster. We loved the fact that some followers noted it... thanks guys!

One of the biggest events on March was the beginning of our first contest. We invited our fans to join the creative process that gives birth to our strips. Every participant sent us a script (like the one I use to write) and we (with the help of a great jury) choosed the best script. 

There were rewards and Elisa has realized the winning strips (yes, plural, other than the prize of the jury, we let our Facebook followers to vote for their favorite script)

The competition was held the day of John Borrowman's birthday, so we decided to dedicate it to his Doctor Who (and Torchwood) character: Jack Harkness!

We received more then twenty scripts, but we're going to talk about the results in one of the next posts, when we are going to show you also the strips realized for it.

Just one last thing, warm up your keybords and be ready, because we're going to held a new script contest in the next months and this time the first prize will be something extremely special, I'm sure you're going to fight for it!

The next set of strips was our first story divided in different parts. As we told in the last post, we decided to introduce more then one Master. The idea came from the end of series three, when the Master regenerates inside the TARDIS. He told "If The Doctor can be young and strong, then so can I"... young... younger then ever... too much young!!!!

Yana will be a regular character as Simmy, they are going to live together as a family... a very strange family, but hey, this is the Comic Who world!
In the second strip we introduced for the first time alle the companion and we tried to outline the nature of each Doctor (Exterminate! :D)
The last strip  is very important because it was also the first appearence of a new character: Limeykins, the green teddy bear you can se with Simmy! It began as a sort of mistake from Elisa and became suddenly one of our favourite characters! Read The Truth Behind Limeykins to know more about it!

That's all folks! See you tomorrow!

February 2011

February it's my month and the next strip I'm going to show you was published on my birthday. We're still joking with regenerations and this time we took in consideration the most tearful! When the 10th Doctor regenerated, a lot of people started to ask for him to come back! But it's just like a game, you have to go on and let the new player to take your role:

The idea was simple, they are kids, and what kids do when they have to leave their games? You've just read the result ^_^

The next one was our first special strip, it was Valentine's Day, so we choose to talk about love. One of the most loved companions, even by the Doctor, was Rose Tyler, but this time the idea didn't came from Doctor Who, but from "Diary of a Call Girl" where Matt Smith (formerly known as the 11th Doctor) did a cameo and had a very hot scene with Billie Piper (alias known as Rose Tyler). What if Eccly and Tenny caught Smithy with Rose?

February 16 is the Christopher Eccleston's birthday, so we wanted to celebrate that day in Comic Who style, but it wasn't Monday, so we choosed to dedicate him an illustration, a sort of PinUp as a gift for this amazing Doctor. Elisa tried a new way to color it and I must say it's very good:

This was also our first appearence on the comic. The guy on Eccly's left is me and the girl on the right is my beautiful girlfriend!

During the past months we bought the ticket of the Doctor Who Experience. It was an amazing trip and we decided to dedicate a strip to the event:

If you have been there you'll notice that the posters are directly taken from the experience (they are real pictures taken during the visit) and the texts in the first panel are taken from the original website... this particular strip was also posted on the Doctor Who Official Tumblr blog (I'm wondering why :P).
We loved the Experience and we also did a review of the event that you can find here with pictures and opinions.

It was a month full of new stuff and we also introduced a new [quite] regular character! The Doctor can't live without his greatest enemy: The Master! Actually we leave every companion with their real name (Rose, Jack, Amy, etc...) but we were planning to use more than one Master, so we choosed to call him Simmy (from John Simm,the actor who plays the role in the third series)

I think this one doesn't need any kind of explanation, so I just greet you and we'll see you tomorrow with a new month full of strips!

Christmas Special

Back in the 70's Simmy is going to celebrate Christmas alone with baby Yana! But you know, at Christmas time miracles do happen and sometime even foes become friends! 

Simmy's going to leave the 70's, but I promise, next year we'll have more Classic Who. This is our last strip for 2011 and it's also the last strip for our first year... We're getting older; January 14, 2011 we start this wonderful journey and now, with 2000 followers on Facebook, 1000 followers on Tumblr and more then 300 regular followers on Blogger, we are going to celebrate our birthday with you all! Prepare yourself, because celebrations will start on New Year's day!

Merry Christmas to you and your families from the Comic Who Staff!

Yana Against Bakey Jr. - Part 2

Last call for our contest! You have only one day to send us your work, so don't waste time anymore!

Last time we left Yana and Bakey Jr. in a fight. Children are more impulsive, this is why adults have to take care of them and they must set a good example... or maybe not! Simmy's adventures in the 70s continue, but they are going to reach a conclusion with the Christmas special, so stay tuned!

Time Travel

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!

Life on Mars versus Doctor Who

It's a wibbly wobbly period for us... Moving to a new home, lot of work, no internet connection for nearly a month and the hottest summer I can remember... I really hope to go back to normality as soon as possible, but now you have to be patient and the Comic Who strips will not be released every monday as before until the end of moving (we're also planning some holidays :D). Anyway, we want to thanks all of you for your great support and love. We reached over 1000 fans on our Facebook page... whooo hooo!!!

Today we are not posting a new strip but a tribute to another british series we love so much: Life on Mars! We really hope you like this because it's our way to thank you for your appreciation in this months. Enjoy!

The Secret Weapon

Actually we are a little busy... we are moving into a new home... for the third time in 4 years... we really hope this is the last one ^_^

This is why in the last weeks the release of the new strips is a bit delayed! We hope you'll understand and don't worry, we are without a broadband connection, without our stuff (and still without a dish washer ç_ç)  but we'll never give up :D

And this is the new strip. In the past weeks we saw how much Simmy is missing his Limeykins and now it's time to revenge... well, sort of... Take a look :D
