For most of my life since 1976 I've drawn a daily pencil comic strip for the
amusement of, and about, myself and my friends.
From February 1997 until January 1999, instead of drawing Dailies, I wrote
DOCTOR WHO
fanfiction - mostly
but not exclusively STAR TREK and/or BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
crossovers - which
I posted one chapter each week to the internet, to Usenet and to my website
(with reruns during the summer of course).
During 1999 I combined these two regimens, serializing my fanfiction in my
Dailies and archiving them a chapter a week here on my website.
In 2000 I returned to drawing stand-alone daily gags, with the
same fanfiction
characters for
cast - but I
continued scanning them for weekly uploading onto my website, immediately
below. A few months after that I began alternating fanfiction Dailies with
King Arthur in Time and Space Dailies. In April
2001 I lost scanner capability in a system crash but I still managed, by
drawing with the computer itself, in a style I call
triangle
caricatures. In August 2003 I resumed drawing scanned Dailies about
myself and the people around me in addition to triangle Dailies about the
other sets of characters. In May 2004 I launched a
new daily project but
I still have new
Dailies frequently.
The Dailies
The latest Dailies appear on the new material page.
And there's a calendar index chronological
archive of all active Dailies.

These links are in chronological order rather than in the order I wrote the
stories. In the event of scholarly interest, the date(s) each was first
posted to my website are noted. Though only comic strip fanfiction is
listed on this index,
the fanfiction
index has chronologically listed links to these stories sorted into its
chronologically listed links to the text stories.
Last Son of Krypton
Posted February 2000 to present
The Doctor's interaction with Superman in my crossovers is complicated by
such elements as time anomalies and alternate universes. These comic
strips portraying events of significance in their relationship. Here they
are in approximate order of importance; if you prefer, they are also linked
chronologically with all other cartoons from the Daily
comic strip calendar index.
Part 1 of one
Small Soldiers
Posted December 1999-January 2000
Readers of Prime
Contact may recall the Doctor discussing the portent of stardate
zero. By accident or design the TARDIS places him on the Enterprise then; and
the assumption of command by one James T. Kirk is not the most
cataclysmic event of the day.

Part 1 of one
Too Many Cooks?
Posted March 1999
When Captain Kirk receives a crosstime distress signal from 1970s Earth, it's
not from the exiled Doctor; but he's there. Set during the seventh
season of DOCTOR WHO (featuring the third Doctor), and between the first STAR
TREK tv series and the first STAR TREK movie. (I am reliably informed that
this, my first four-way crossover, is largely unintelligible to those
unfamiliar with the other two properties, the two unsold Gene Roddenberry
pilots Assignment: Earth and The Questor Tapes. I present this
warning against my instincts as an author, for it sorta gives away the
story.)

Friends of the Groom
Posted November 1999
For once the TARDIS lands on the starship Enterprise while there isn't a
crisis going on ... or isn't there? Set between the first STAR TREK series
and the first STAR TREK movie, and between Planet of the Daleks and
The Green Death.

Potpourri Three
Posted November 2000 to present
Developments of import or just interest in my fanficton universe from Daily
comic strips set during the Doctor's third incarnation.
Part 1 of one
Posted June 1999
The Doctor returns to the planet Sihpis when Harry Sullivan insists the
TARDIS land in response to a medical distress call - just as the Starfleet
team of eugenicists on the planet calls the Enterprise back with a disturbing
discovery. Set between the first STAR TREK tv series and the first STAR TREK
movie, and between Revenge of the Cybermen and Terror of the
Zygons; featuring the fourth Doctor, The One With The Scarf. A sequel of
sorts to Toy
Story on my text website, which tells of the Doctor and the
Enterprise's first visit to Sihpis.

Reach Out and Kill Someone
Posted February 1999
The Doctor and Captain Kirk must avert war between two Federation member
planets. Well, not between the planets' governments ... Set between
the first STAR TREK series and the first STAR TREK movie, and shortly after
The Invisible Enemy (featuring the fourth Doctor).

Posted May 1999
Like the movie M*A*S*H and numerous episodes of the tv series, this crossover
with DOCTOR WHO is episodic in nature, presenting a cross-section of events
during the Doctor's visits to the American mobile army surgical hospital
throughout the course of the Korean war. Featuring the third, fourth and
fifth Doctors (in succession, not simultaneously).

Casting Bread
Posted November-December 1999
At the end of Planet of Fire the Doctor and Peri agree that she shall
travel with him in the TARDIS for three months, no doubt in analog to the
summer break she had been planning to spend traveling Europe. Yet to all
appearances that deadline was ignored when it was reached. Was it? They
are time travelers after all. Find out the answers as the sixth Doctor
and Peri join the officers of the late starship Enterprise on yet another
planet of fire... Set between STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK and STAR
TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME, and between The Twin Dilemma and Attack
of the Cybermen.

Part 1 of one
Conspiracy of the Daleks
Posted October 1999
Remember the STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION story Conspiracy about the
aliens who crawl inside you and possess you, and sent a signal beacon off
into the uncharted regions of the galaxy? Remember the DOCTOR WHO story
Evil of the Daleks about the Daleks who get infected with "the human
factor" and become enemies of the regular Daleks? Remember how you never
heard any more about either of them? Captain Picard and the seventh Doctor
hear more from both of them in this crossover. Set early in the third season
of THE NEXT GENERATION and shortly after Survival (featuring the
seventh Doctor).

The Swords of Eternity
Posted November 1999
This DOCTOR WHO/STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/HIGHLANDER three-way crossover
is sort of a cheat: I've drawn five scenes, and not troubled to string them
together with a plot... The Doctor says his final goodbye to a
twentieth-century friend - or does he? Set during the sixth season of THE
NEXT GENERATION, during the first season of HIGHLANDER: THE SERIES, and
between Survival and the 1996 movie, the last official screen DOCTOR
WHO to date.
Part 1 of one
Nine to Five
Posted March-April 2000
Like The Swords of Eternity above, this is a selected-scenes-only
effort. Also like The Swords of Eternity it's a three-way crossover,
between DOCTOR WHO and ... but the rest is obvious from the title, isn't
it?
Part 1 of one
Tasha
Posted March-April 1999
When the Doctor and Ace land on Deep Space Nine, someone is waiting for them
- but is it an old friend, or an old enemy? Set shortly after The Way of
the Warrior and Hippocratic Oath - i.e., during Worf's first few
weeks on the station - and between Survival and the 1996 DOCTOR WHO
movie. (Sequel to
Sela on my
text fanfiction site.)

Strange Visitor
Posted April 1999
A BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER/LOIS & CLARK crossover. After all, at the time I
wrote this, already on my website were a DOCTOR WHO/LOIS & CLARK crossover
and more than one WHO/BUFFY crossover (on my
text fanfiction
index) - so, if Buffy and Lois & Clark live in the same fiction universe,
how is it that Buffy seems to know Clark's secret in the early BUFFY episode
Never Kill A Boy On A First Date? (Writing crossovers opens you up to
being bothered by the damnedest things.) Now it can be told.
Part 1 of one
Posted May 1999
In the 1996 movie the Doctor is, unusually, traveling with no companion at
the beginning of the story and at the end (though he does ask someone who
turns him down). Even more unusually, he continues to travel alone throughout
most of his eighth personality (at least here in my fanfiction), despite its
unusual gregariousness. Here, in explanation of this apparent anomaly, is
the final adventure of the last companion of his seventh life, as told by his
eighth self to the friends of Buffy the vampire slayer. Set during the fall
semester of Buffy's junior year at Sunnydale High (sometime between The
Dark Ages and Innocence) and after the 1996 DOCTOR WHO movie;
with time-travel to Buffy's sophomore year in L.A., and flashbacks to the
Doctor's seventh incarnation.

Posted April 1999 to present
Developments of import or just interest in my fanficton universe from Daily
comic strips set during the Doctor's eighth incarnation.
Part 1 of one
Posted April 1999 to May 2000
When Rowan Atkinson (BLACKADDER, MR. BEAN) appeared in a DOCTOR WHO spoof
The Curse of the Fatal Death in March 1999 on a BBC telethon for
world hunger, I - perhaps alone in WHO fandom - elected to incorporate the
presentation's characters into my fanfiction. The characters but not the
events, though, which issue is addressed in one of these four-panel
stand-alone gags featuring those characters. Some of these gags are recent
additions since I started drawing stand-alone Daily gags regularly.
Part 1 of one
Posted November-December 2000
Even though I believe that those who wish to see Superman possess a dark side
have misunderstood the intent and nature of the character, I was intrigued
when challenged to write a dark Superman story.
Part 1 of one
Posted June 2000
Every Holmes has a Moriarty; a personified dark side, an equal but opposite
reaction. For Buffy it's the rogue Slayer, Faith. Faith's return appearances
during the 1999-2000 season of BUFFY and ANGEL occasioned these DOCTOR WHO
crossover Dailies which examine Buffy's relationship with Faith better than
Buffy did.
Part 1 of one
More Potpourri Eight-B
Developments of import or just interest in my fanficton universe from Dailies
chronologically following Dark Mirror above.
Part 1 of one
Posted January 2002
In the wake of Archer's second confrontation with Silik, the Doctor is forced
to admit much he was trying to keep from the Enterprise crew - in order to
save their lives. Meanwhile, interpersonal developments between the
Enterprise staff make this story appropriately told with triangle caricatures
... Set just after Cold Front.
Part 1 of one
Something So Right
Posted August 2002
In Eight is Enough I laid the foundation for an Archer-T'Pol-Tucker
love triangle. Then my interest in ENTERPRISE fanfiction began leaning away
from the source itself and toward the show's manifestation in
King Arthur in Time
and Space works. The next development in the AT&T romance that
insisted on being written nevertheless was the consummation of the
relationship. This is set about three weeks after
Two Weeks'
Notice (and was written half a year previous ...).

Developments of import or just interest in my fanficton universe from Dailies

have been transferred to the in-progress cartoon archive).

The Circle of Time
November 2003
Why do there seem to be only two Doctors in
Everything in Threes? Why did the Celestial
Intervention Agency of the High Council of the Time Lords feel compelled to
place three (at least) agents on 20th century Earth to make certain humans
didn't exterminate themselves
(Too
Many Cooks?)? If Saavik was Spock's first wife immediately
post-T'Pring (Friends of the Groom), who was his second wife
(the NEXT GENERATION episode
Sarek)? What happened to the Doctor's Father after
the Time Lords discovered he was crossbreeding with other species in secret
(One
Child Born)? When do Buffy and Angel finally live happily ever after,
what was Angel's involvement in the post-atomic horror, and in light of the
Sanshu prophecy why is he still a vampire in the twenty-second century
(For To Carry Me Home)? Is Angel's son Connor yet
another of the Doctor's half-siblings
(unDaily
11/7/01)? Why was the time ship in the ENTERPRISE episode Future Tense bigger on the inside than the outside
like a Time Lord TARDIS? Will the adversary or adversaries of true history in
ENTERPRISE's temporal cold war succeed? And what the hell's the "Tradition of
Dorek" (Sela)? These and other questions raised by my
fanfiction and by the STAR TREK screen canon are answered in my DOCTOR WHO
40th anniversary story The Circle of Time.
"Time doesn't go 'round and round in circles!" "Really? Where does time
go, then?"
DOCTOR WHO, November 1963
Part 1 of one
Potpourri Eight And Nine Averaged
To celebrate DOCTOR WHO's fortieth anniversary in November 2003, Richard E.
Grant was cast as the Doctor's "official" ninth incarnation in an animated
story on the BBC website. Just as its serialization began, the announcement
was made that DOCTOR WHO would return to television in 2005 with Christopher
Eccleston as what the press inevitably dubbed the ninth Doctor. The lost
ninth incarnation nevertheless appeared in Dailies between November 2003 and
November 2004, sharing current Doctor status equally with the eighth
incarnation. Potpurri Eight and Nine Averaged portrays events of
import or interest during the period that the Doctor's eighth and ninth
incarnations were concurrent.
Part 1 of one
More Alike Than They Know
November 2005
Here is a sequence of DOCTOR WHO/STARGATE SG-1/STARGATE ATLANTIS Dailies,
depicting the circumstances surrounding the conversion of the BBC website
ninth Doctor (Richard E. Grant) to the BBC tv ninth Doctor (Christopher
Eccleston). Set during the first season of STARGATE ATLANTIS.
Part 1 of one
The Cook and the Crossover
May 2005
Rumor/legend has it that William Shatner was in negotiations to appear in the
last season of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, but they fell through because he wanted
to play mirror-Kirk and they wanted him to play Archer's chef. I thought, "Why
not both?" Set during the fifth year of the Enterprise's mission.
Part 1 of one
Chosen to Not Fade Away
April 2006 - present
Here is a selection of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL Dailies composed
and set in the time since their respective series finales. Set between
Chosen and the present; featuring (serially) the eighth, ninth and
tenth (David Tennant) Doctors.
Part 1 of one
STAR WARS Episode VII: The Battle for Corscant
May 2009
At the end of The Circle of Time I promised the story of the Doctor's
redemption of the Jedi Chosen One, once the Clone Wars trilogy was complete.
Within a week of the premiere of Episode III I was boasting that I'd written
the outline for my third trilogy and the introductory crawl for Episode VII;
and would debut Episode VII in May 2006. But after a year of little or no
progress on that script, two things happened. (a) I remembered what I did
with the the only other fanfiction story idea that had come to me between May
2005 and May 2006: I pruned it down to
less than a dozen panels (of not necessarily sterling dialog) and ran it as a
single strip. (b) I realized that what I'd outlined as Episode VII
was really Episode VIII, and since Episode VIII really hinged on the Doctor
regenerating it must wait until David Tennant left the part of the Doctor's
tenth incarnation.
This story incorporates some concepts that can be found in the
post-Episode VI tie-in novels (the "Expanded Universe"), some concepts I
arrived at independently, and some that are both.
Part 1 of one.
STAR WARS Episode VIII: A Galaxy Divided
May 2010
This DOCTOR WHO/STAR WARS crossover surrounds the Doctor's regeneration from
his tenth body to his eleventh with different circumstances than depicted
in the screen source. Many or most in fanfiction fandom would say that that
makes it an "alternate universe", but not I. To consider it an alternate
universe one would first have to credit the concept of
"canon".
This story incorporates some concepts that can be found in the
post-Episode VI tie-in novels (the "Expanded Universe"), some concepts I
arrived at independently, and some that are both.
Part 1 of one.
STAR WARS Episode IX: The Chosen One
May 2011
The Doctor sees the Skywalker/Organa family through the redemption of the
Chosen One.
This story incorporates some concepts that can be found in the
post-Episode VI tie-in novels (the "Expanded Universe"), some concepts I
arrived at independently, and some that are both.
