I love the notion that the Doctor & Co. genuinely blew it in that original story, and Dalek history wouldn't have been anywhere near as bloody if Dr. Who hadn't lied about the darn fluid link. <br /><br />And I did always feel a bit sorry for that Dalek the prisoners kill with mud and a blanket. What an embarrassing way to go. <br /><br />There was actually a bit of a serious edge to my question, which is that I've been wondering about the title <i>The Daft Dimension</i> — besides being a play on an unfinished TV special thought up by a conman (which is brilliant in itself!), I wondered if it meant to imply that your comics take place in a parallel universe to the Doctor's world, where everything is just a bit sillier. But equally, there's an argument that the Doctor's dimension is quite Daft enough. <br /><br />Anyway, keep being awesome!Achille Talonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636339293230261724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-54128222741150027642020-09-07T14:42:54.784+01:002020-09-07T14:42:54.784+01:00Absolutely 100% canon. :)Absolutely 100% canon. :)Lew Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260048632152445875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-62129123677130145282020-09-07T00:31:10.948+01:002020-09-07T00:31:10.948+01:00Love it!
