Shenanigans - Meet a Silurian

@ComicWho

I'm writing the report from the @DWConvention but there's something happened at the convention that cannot be written in an article. You need to see it because it was one of the funniest moment for Elisa and one of the most scaring for me! No, really, have you ever been threatened by a Silurian? Take a look

I finally managed to take a couple of pictures but, really, it was not my best moment!!! Take a look to the pictures, I really hope you like it...

Have fun with our new team and get ready for some great news...

Simmy's Tales: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Part 2

@ComicWho

The family is growing! Last week we told you that Simmy was going to meet some new friends and here we are... Jack and Ianto are going to join the Master in this unexpected holiday in the Seventies, but the great problem is still unfixed: Gene's collection was ruined by Baby Yana and if they don't want to be killed they have to sort out a solution!!!!

Of course the Back to The Future quote is intentional XD

Simmy's Tales: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Part 1

It's time to do something new! We had a lot of requests to introduce some old characters like classic Doctors and/or classic enemies, but it's actually very hard to do this with "our" timeline! Hey, but we have a character who was sent back in the Seventies for a few strips! Yes, we are talking about Simmy and his time leap occurred in this strip. Oh well, we know that our Eccly, Tenny and Smithy came back to "rescue" him on last year Christmas Special, but what happened in the meantime? We don't know exactly in which year the Doctors came back for him, so we don't know how many adventure he lived with baby Yana and his new friends (yes, he is going to meet some new "unexpected" friends) but I'm sure we are going to find out!

With great proud let me to introduce you the "Simmy's Tales": Our new series of strips which starts with a three part story, we really hope you will enjoy it!

Script Contest 2012

@ComicWho #Contest 

Introduction

This contest is designed to engage Comic Who readers and make them part of the creative process behind the realization of the strip. Participants will be asked to write the script of a strip that will be brought to the attention of an international jury. The best one will be turned into a real strip and published on the Comic Who blog page.

The Subject

Each year we will propose a different subject on which the participants must rely to carry out their script. The subject this year is Smithy!

Every script must use our Eleventh Doctor as the main character; you can also include Tenny, Eccly and any other Comic Who character you want, but Smithy must be the protagonist. You can create parodies of events which occurred in the TV series Doctor Who, but original stories will be much appreciated.

Tips & Tricks

- Strips are like puns, should make people laugh by saying a few things, basing mainly on the expressions and comic absurdities.

- Don't waste time creating complex stories, usually a simple situation is much more fun. Sometimes you do not even need words to make people laugh (think of the Valentine's Day spcial).

- Too many characters and dialogues are often synonymous with confusion and risk of boring the reader. Try to be as concise as possible.

- Remember that vignettes provide a limited space, so do not overdo the details, otherwise you may not have enough space available for carrying out the scene.

- Read this Facebook Note to understand how to create a script.

- If you have doubts or concerns, please send an email to comicwho@gmail.com. The Comic Who staff will answer soon as possible.
