Karkaeology: Oh, Wouldn't It Be Rubbery!

'Oh, Wouldn't It Be Rubbery!' is the last printed Karkus story, but pointedly still set within his 'lifetime' (hence the editorial remark under the title.) Mr Erato is bigly in snark mode, so some personalities may be thinly-veiled parodies, and depending on your love for the new series and its creators, your mileage may vary. I may return to the world also, because I do rather like Inspector L'zard, and if there's one thing we can count on with modern Doctor Who, it's that it just can't keep its mucky fingers out of Victorian London.

So then, this is the second of two Karkus stories (and one of five? six? seven?) Eratoverse strips to appear in Reverse The Polarity!, a lovely and very welcoming bolthole for Erato after TSV adopted a less-frequent printing schedule, and sort of changed its focus. In its new home the Erato strip just seemed to fit better.

Housekeeping:

As this has an RTP link, it behoves me to mention that RTP's editor Alex and I are discussing putting a collection together of the printed Eratoverse stories. If this happens, there will be extra content - alternative takes, extended scripts, translations and thumbnails, plus behind the scenes stuff like this. 'Rubbery' itself has about a whole page taken out, for example - so if you like this sort of thing, I hope you'll like what's being discussed as well.
