The Karkus: The Monoid Mutineers

 

Ooh, I never liked the title for this, the third adventure in the adventures of Doctor Human, his granddaughter Susan and her comprehensive schoolmaster The Karkus. The other ones had nice Who-like portmanteau names, but this? Ah well.

This got trimmed down a fair bit, and there's at least one abandoned page of the three 'heroes' getting captured, imprisoned, and escaping - a Very Doctor Who Thing to have happen, as it turns out; ah, but it meandered. And thus common sense prevailed, brevity won and, I rather think, so did you, gentle reader.

The Karkus: Re-Enter the Rani!

 Remember that one time Erato posted an imagining of the very first Karkus story? That was done without a script - this one is the actual script!

I found the run-through in faded pencil on the back of the other 'original' strip (and, as it happens, also twice-done story) The One With The Steel Octopus, and naturally, it ran to two pages. So, here's a less-economical version of - er, The One With The Rani in a rare outing of a Time Lord in the strip. It's a bit light, to be honest, and wears its influences on its puffy, glittery Eighties sleeve. But it's the real deal, folks!





You're welcome.

The Karkus: This One Delivers

 Happy Birthday, Doctor Who! I brought you a present:




This one harkens back to the posting of the old Magnetoids cover from last year, and the cameo by SPLiNX the Robo Cat. Someone on the Facebook asked for a strip with the teleporting tabby in it, and Erato obliged! NIce to have something for the fans on a special weekend, and all that.

Plus any reason to bring back Prof Boffin, really.
