The art, while I thought it was good, was basically just a caricature of David Tennant's Doctor, which is what it was supposed to be. But, the dialogue was also just a caricature, which I don't think it was supposed to be.<BR/><BR/>Scott's a much better artist than he is a writer, and all his dialogue is pretty bad to begin with. I think this time it's just that he's chosen to work with a known character who has a very distinct sort of speech pattern, and he couldn't replicate it. With everyone else, they have no speech pattern and that's because they're Scott's from the beginning.<BR/><BR/>Then again, there's a cartoon from a couple years back called <I>The Infinite Quest</I> which, I believe, was written by Davies, and was definitely voiced by Tennant. And it sounded off the same way that this strip seemed off. So maybe it's a case of The Doctor needing to be in the right context.evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253818249278879324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-80468662494605892272009-01-21T15:25:00.000-08:002009-01-21T15:25:00.000-08:00i could give a damn about doctor who and, by proxy...i could give a damn about doctor who and, by proxy i suppose, this arc as well, but his art has been amazing on it. brent's frolic on the last panel today might be the best frame i've seem him draw yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-4872813978877457172009-01-21T11:09:00.000-08:002009-01-21T11:09:00.000-08:00I like the shading quite a bit, and it seems to ha...I like the shading quite a bit, and it seems to have solved a lot of the issues with backgrounds (or lack thereof).<BR/><BR/>I just wonder what this will do to the production schedule. It's probably another hour added to the time it takes to make the strip, and PvP's been posting pretty late in the afternoon recently.<BR/><BR/>I can't really comment on the Dr. Who stuff having seen very little of it.The Troublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169419417994090316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-67182813181405992512009-01-21T06:47:00.000-08:002009-01-21T06:47:00.000-08:00I thought is was a good arc - that image of Brent ...I thought is was a good arc - that image of Brent in his "girly run" was very well drawn, and as an artist I admire the skill. If Scott traces the images of the Doctor (we really don't know, right?), I didn't mind, since he stylized it nicely, and he represented the Doctor's body language well. And the shaded look was a good device for a dream sequence.Jim Thorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734589574677225871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-14118617590684364392009-01-21T04:15:00.000-08:002009-01-21T04:15:00.000-08:00The art for the Doctor is gorgeous yes, but someth...The art for the Doctor is gorgeous yes, but something in his mannerisms or dialogue feels a bit off...<BR/><BR/>Have you ever seen an American do a really bad English accent and they're all like "cor blimey!

He does look good! However I am a bit thrown by all of the poses in the 1/20 comic. It seems kind like Scott picked his favorite pictures of David Tennant and almost... traced them, just threw them in. Without the fluidity and appropriateness of the pose considered.<BR/><BR/>There's a Shortpacked comic that details this phenomenon, but I can't bring myself to hunt it down now. Maybe tomorrow!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626073670663883107noreply@blogger.com
