SWIMSUITEMBER RETURNS!
It's been a hot minute, but Swimsuitember is back with a bunch of fun ice cream-based themes!
VOTE TO REACH FOR BEACH!!!
As for this comic...
Lesson of the day: don't be this person. We've all been this person at some point in time. I know I have. But I'm not proud of it and I've tried to change.
Oh, and Peter Davison is (in my opinion) the most charming Doctor ever. Old fogeys will say fourth Doctor is the GOAT (an iconic choice, certainly), and all the younger fangirls will swoon over Matt Smith or David Tennant, but all those choices are wrong. The only thing Davison's Doctor was missing was the multicolor scarf. Put a scarf on that man, and we would have found perfection. Though I guess a scarf would have ruined the look of the cricket whites.

Not a bad choice, but “Hottest” is always dependant on your personal opinion and preferences (unless talking about literal temperature). I, as a 30 something male, would have no idea what 20 something females would define as “hot”.
To the “Hottest Doctor” question, I would throw a curve ball for the sake of it and say “Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee”. He had class, smarts, and martial prowess.
Don’t forget the cape…. As much as I love Tennant, I have to agree with your choice.
Yes! The cape!
He was a dapper gentleman, certainly. I will say that is a ’50-plus’ hottest doctor solid choice.
Would have loved tohave met him. He went to a con near my relatives-before I knew what cons really were, or DW was. He attented in full costume. 🙁 Why I’m glad I’ve met several of my childhood icons. If I ever meet Peter Cullen I will turn into the 8 year old crying watching Optimus die.
He went out like a boss, though..
“Why throw your life away so recklessly?”
“That’s a question you should ask yourself, Megatron”.
Oh man, that was my first choice as well.
Though second choice followed by Eccleston, then Whittaker. I am a guy, after all.
And for bad boys, the “bad” Baker, followed by Eccleston.
Emily’s still there, hooray!
Our new character is kind of a lot.
There couldn’t have been a Satan and Sigmund one off comic?
There could have been a one-off Satan comic. But it would have been awkward. I would have needed to plan ahead so that I wasn’t just in the middle of other stuff. And I didn’t. Lots of Satan and Sigmund is coming up, though. The next bigger arc is very Satan-heavy.
Good. The comic-lovers world can always use more Satan.
If Satan should up where he should, what would be the point of being him?
Have you ever noticed that the Abrahamic god is a firtility god?
Ok, so I’m guessing that Daphne tolerates this girl because she knows how to interact with most everyone, unlike Pikachu Paige here.
I’m not sure Daphne tolerates this girl at all.
Talk about your knowledgeable geek girl. A bit confrontational, but she is not THAT bad, right ?
Manageable. I think this is the “ranking” phase. Like when dogs meet.
You’re not wrong.
Not that bad compared to what? Compared to the plague? No, not that bad.
Atkinson. Not officially, but between The Curse of Fatal Death and Blackadder: Back and Forth, he counts in my books.
An … unorthodox choice, for sure.
You throw curveballs, sir. But when life gives me lemons, I use them to burn life’s house down.
Plus it’s kinda the geek-cred flex to not just be Whovian, but also into Blackadder. I’d have to work Red Dwarf somewhere into the follow-up, for sure.
Smegging brilliant.
Boys from the Dwarf, man.
Ha. F. Paul Wilson (author), his Repairman Jack credo= When you set a man a fire, you warm him for a time. When you set a man on fire, you warm him for life!
Thirteen, but only because I’m a straight male and thus have no idea how to rank the rest. XD
I am also a straight guy and I also have to go with number thirteen, an alternate thirteen though.
Joanna Lumley was a thirteenth doctor in Curse of the Fatal Death and the first woman to portray the Doctor.
I’ll buy that got a dollar.
Deep cut.
Well played.
I’m a straight male too, but even I have to admit that Peter Davison is objectively hotter than Jodie Whittaker.
I’d go with the Doctor’s Daughter. Not canonical, but she got the genes from the Doctor and the actor playing him, so that’s aces in my book.
You might like to, that is if you haven’t already, have a look at Big Finish Productions. They produce a number of Whovian spinoffs, one of which is “Jenny – The Doctors Daughter” with Georgia Tennant.
Phoebe’s dad has possessed this Pikachu girl, and is working his evil through her. . . (Mwaa ha ha ha !) Sounds good, and may actually be true . . .
Seeing as how this is strip 666, you may be correct?
If it makes you happy, you can make that your head canon.
Wait. Colin Baker? Seriously??
Okay, I’m a straight male too, but ignoring the one female incarnation we’ve had for any length of time so far, it’d have to be either Peter Davidson or David Tennant.
Colin Baker is SIXTH doctor. According to the common numerical system, anyway. And Colin Baker is resoundingly NOT the hottest incarnation. That outfit was just wrong. Peter Davison was fifth.
This reminds me of Bilbo and Gollum in “The Hobbit” – but FAR more annoying…
Mission accomplished.
Like the Ka-Tet of 1999 versus Blaine, but even more of a pain?
EG – I think you trolled us all by NOT having Phoebe’s dad in this strip… lol
It’s not trolling if it’s the result of poor planning.

With an intro by Vincent Price of “The Hilarious House of Frightenstein” fame.
Because THAT is what Vincent Price is famous for: his cameo appearances on a Hamilton-produced Canadian children’s show.
I drive by Vincent Price’s old house in Ancaster every day on the way to work. It is not at all spooky. But I pretend it is.
Do you know the story of him in Baltimore?
No. But I’d like to.
If I can remember ( and not have to take a Windows 11 break) VP was taking a cab in Baltimore and the cabbie went off in a random direction and did a thing and VP asked “Driver” where are we? They were where Edgar Allen Poe was born.
I did try to find where I heard the story, but I couldn’t easily and I have things to do, sadly.
Do they count Doctors from the beginning, or did the new version start a new count? (Don’t follow it anymore. I liked the cheesy low-budget sixties-seventies original version, not the current one.)
Doctors count from the beginning. Though there are some non-canonical or briefly adopted forms that don’t count. For clarity, the fifth Doctor was played by a young Peter Davison.
Him I remember. The newer ones, not so much.
Colin needs a counter-attack.
Name the Folk Horror triumverate and the best song from them.
And its not Willow’s Song just because Britt Eklund sang it naked.
(Just as an FYI – It’s the Tinker of Rye because it features Chris Lee’s bass-baritone! This is objectively the correct answer.)
Well, I would be excluded from this club because I have NO idea what you’re talking about.
We all have silos to get our geek on.
Folk Horror gained a following among fans of director Robert Eggers – The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman. Horror movies based on the madness brought on by “ancient” lore, folk traditions, and superstitions. Three movies that are identified loosely as the foundation for movie folk horror are The Witchfinder General with Vincent Price, The Wicker Man with Christopher Lee, and Blood on Satan’s Claw.
Now You Know …. And Knowing’s Half the Battle ….. GI Joeeeee.
Now I DO know. Witchfinder General I’ve heard of, but more due to the band of the same name. Wicker Man I’m obviously more familiar with due to the Nicolas Cage remake. Less said about that the better.
The misogynistic remake of Wicker Man with Nick Cage is perfect fodder for comedy night at bad movie central. Sure, there’s the whole screaming “The Bees!” but there is also the unhinged misogyny from all the women inhabitants of the commune. Things only seem slightly off until the golden moment in which Cage decks the bear. The only person who emerges from that movie with dignity intact is Ellen Burstyn as Sister Summerisle.
May not have Satan, but it does have Gatekeeping, which is the true evil.
Probably lots of gates in hell. You know, for all the keepers.
I would almost agree.. but I think I know why they keep gates. It’s that incident when the things you are passionate about become popular, and then get watered down for mainstream appeal, or becomes targeted by those with thin skin and too much time.
I can’t say for sure if that’s the right response, but I can understand the motivation.
I think it just taps into an innate tribalism that our species has: we wish to establish insiders and outsiders. It’s how we seemingly function on a basic level. But in addition to your valid point, I think nerd culture has the most aggressive gatekeepers due to the fact that it was once a mark of infamy, a cause for bullying.
Some of the younger people today don’t know this experience, but I remember all too well the era where publicly revealing your love of D&D or even Star Wars would result in you at best being mocked, and at worst being physically assaulted. I think historically persecuted groups become very cautious of outsiders.
I am occasionally concerned how mainstream D&D has gotten. Watered down crap like 4th Edition is fine, but I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop that will send gaming back into the shadows.
I have no skin in the game. I feel very confused by the fact that the things I loved as a teen now dominate the culture, given the intense mocking I suffered back then.
I will readily admit that I’ve distanced myself from a lot of it.
This thread is underrated.
You should give the Pikachu Girl a name and add her to the character list!
That is coming. Eventually.
Colin Baker? …wait, no, he was 6. Uhh, Peter Davison! He’s pretty handsom, but Matt Smith’s got a dorky place in my heart.
Matt Smith is the default answer. I wanted to go for a deeper cut.
The fact that I am by for not the first person to want to comment on Peter Davidson (I never found him that hot, but what do I know?) just makes me think I took long to find this comic.
If they don’t name his granddaughter Susan . . . what are they doing with their lives?
As a straight CIS male, the “hottest Doctor” can only be…
Yeah, it’s Peter Davidson/Five. (But only because Ncuti Gatwa hasn’t debuted as Fourteen yet)
Yep. That’s a fine-looking young man.
whether or not he merely guessed, he is still technically correct.
Which is the best kind of correct. Therefore; it still counts as one.
I’m with you on that.
Emily is a genuine Cat-Girl, just as Daphne is a Genuine Human/Jackal Hybrid.
Take it from one who knows.
(no one ever expects a small animal of being a peeping-tom …. cat)
Yep, Emily is real … and beautiful !
Her very human ears would suggest otherwise.
“Real isn’t how you are made….it’s a thing that happens to you. When a fandom loves you, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.”
Excellent 🙂
Damned Gatekeepers!!!
The gates and the keepers both creak something fierce.
It’s a good thing Colin didn’t say “Doctor? Doctor…who?” 😉
A common response.
I’m getting a distinct Goddess Anoia feel from Ms. Pikachu . . . from before Moist von Lipwig upped her rep.
David Tennant is the correct answer but I’m glad you explained and I respect it.
I’m probably like Pikachu, yelling at jocks wearing a Sonic t-shirt.
David Tennant is AN answer, I’ll give you that.
