Dressed for Success comic by Chris Howard & Jeff Wasson

Panel 1:

As Alex and Walter get dragged outside by Fred, we see Philip having an interaction with Casey and Goobie-Doo.

PHILIP:

[To Casey]

What do you have there?

CASEY:

Like, Gooby-Doo and I think we found Heather’s phone on the beach. We were looking to give it back. Even though it looks all beat up and i’m not sure it still works.

Panel 2:

PHILIP:

[Takes the phone from Casey]

Fascinating. Why don’t I take care of that?

Panel 3:

Philip pulls out the 3D-VV from his pocket and hovers it up and down in front of the phone, giving it a scan and then looking at the 3D-VV to see the readings.

Panel 4:

PHILIP:

Come along, everyone. We’ve got a cove creep to catch!

ALEX:

Now where?!

One of my favourite abilities of the Doctor has always been his way of blowing past people's defenses with quick talk and sheer bewilderment. Here Philip lifts Heather's phone from our erstwhile beachcombers effortlessly, and nothing gets said, much like how he steamrolled the mayor on the last page.

And it's the return of the 3D-VV! First seen in Philip's first appearance in issue 13 of the mini-comic. It's his sonic screwdriver, a flexible tool that's been a collapsing screen and now a scanner. Points if you get the reference in the name. And kudos to Philip's facesake for the name originally.

"Come along everyone!" Ah, yes, the Fred call to action. It's really been fun playing Scooby Gang for this story.
