One of our goals with these Philip Who stories was an attempt to return to our roots.

When we first started DFS we were doing 16-page minicomics. We upped the page count to 20 after a short while. And they were individual stories, at least initially. We moved on to stories that were more continuing, especially in the second half of the minicomics run.

When we came back to DFS with the webcomic, we had no page limits, and our stories ran quite long. So, as much as to try and match the length of a Doctor Who story as to keep the stories short and to challenge ourselves to go back to short stories, we aimed for 20 pages each.

And this one went over. Just a few pages, but yeah.

Ah well. It's still a short Doctor Who/Scooby Doo parody. And hey, those are like 24 minutes, so we're likely pretty bang on.
