Thanks for the clarification!

I should have been more clear, in my above post I say that they use the terms "comedy strip" or "humour strip" to refer to parody, but I don't take these terms to mean so literally. The context in which they were used makes it clear that they are referring to parody, not simply the words themselves. My mistake, sorry about that.

As for the outcome, I would have thought that it would be a generalisation. That's one of the great things about this wiki - y'all are incredibly meticulous.

One more thing I thought I should bring up - on multiple occasions Quinn and/or Howett discussed The History Tour as a spin-off of sorts from the Doctor Who? strip. I can't remember the exact wording, I'll have to find it again, but by the context, it is ambiguous whether or not this is in an in-universe POV. The incident I remember best was in a mini-doc on the production of DWM comics, which would suggest an out-of-universe POV, but when the status of History Tour as a spin-off was mentioned, they were talking about plot details of both scripts, which would suggest in-universe. It's not ideal evidence, but if I can find the interview again, it might be enough to tip the scales definitively in the direction of invalidity.

Sorry again for the long speech, just want to get all my findings out.
