So now we have statements from all the backup writers. Reading over the forum, I am now far more doubtful of the Rose series. Keep in mind I was only a few issues in, but it does get that crazy it might be invalid. Would like to say that I don't think that K9 and Rose the Cat are that odd tho, and I think most of the odder things that have been mentioned from the strips are extremely minor at best in the comic. In this case, as I forgot to bring up, the Back-up comics in the Four Doctors comics are a good comparison. The Eleventh-Doctor-style strip shows the Eleventh Doctor doing something mentioned in the series and at a place shown in the series, while the second issue's back-up comic, in the style of Rose-the-Cat, shows... The Three Doctors bombing at stand-up comedy.
