Action! Inaction

 


Let's call this what it is: real-life delays

In a non-Covid, non-nonsense reality this would have come out in 2021 AS WAS INTENDED, and you, lovely reader, would have had a series of The Karkus, a Doctor Who Birthday special story, and a Christmas Special story Just For 2021. But you didn't get them in 2021 - But You ARE getting them now! 

Better late than never.

Speaking of late, check out the date on this illustration - first appearing on the back of TSV Fifty-mumble back in '99. Last century! I didn't immediately plan to do a story about Magnetoids, but hey, it's a new millennium, so a story about Magnetoids you shall have!

And what are Magnetoids? Why, yet another contender from the Blue Peter Design a Monster Competition of 1967. History doesn't recall who created the Magnetoids, so if you're out there, Doctor Who fan of indeterminate age, location and gender, I hope I did them good!

The Karkus in: 'Futile Attraction' kicks off the 2021-22 Erato season tomorrow- on this very blog!

Cheers and good health, everyone.

Erato.
