Now that I’ve finished making pages for all of The Daft Dimension strips, I will be very shortly resuming coverage of Doctor Whoah!

Before then, I could really use some feedback on how to cover a particular quirk that the strips have; their tendency to blur the line between "in-universe" and "behind the scenes" scenarios.

An example of this occurs as early as the first strip; this strip depicts a supposedly behind the scenes moment in which production of The Christmas Invasion hits a snag due to a miscommunication with the costume designer. The strip features an appearance by, who we’re currently interpreting as, Rose Tyler and Harriet Jones. But if this is a "behind the scenes" moment, should they actually be documented as Billie Piper (who does appear, named, in another strip) and Penelope Wilton?

An additional example is in the DWM 391 strip where, during Voyage of the Damned, the Host are starstruck and flustered over the presence of Kylie Minogue, who appears in the background being swooned by, who could be interpreted as, either the Tenth Doctor or David Tennant.

Yet more examples appear in strips I haven’t made pages for yet. One has Matt Smith (addressed as such) talking about his audition, while in costume as the Eleventh Doctor; standing beside him in the strip is either Amy Pond, or an in-costume Karen Gillan.

Another strip takes an affectionate jab at the real life event of Matt Smith (again, identified as such) carrying the Olympic torch for London 2012, when the Tenth Doctor (or an in-costume and in-character David Tennant) appears to take the torch from him. Complicating things even further is the cameo appearance of the Seventh Doctor (or is that an in-costume Sylvester McCoy??) running up behind them.

Argh! Such a headache!
