As promised one of the other 2 members of the Justice League from Earth 2 that I have made. Doctor Impossible aka Jimmy/James Olsen. He doesn’t have an equivalent to the core Justice League of Earth 1 and speaking of Core Justice League I might try to take a crack at Fury. Wonder Woman’s daughter from Earth 2 Donna of Amazon Island. Then I’ll have an earth 2 version of the entire DC holy trinity.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Ah, I can always appreciate a pet themed Barbie doll. I was quite drawn to dolls like this as a kid...well the predecessors anyways. Growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, my Barbies obviously looked a lot different than this (huge bosoms, karate arms, and wide eyes were the style back then). I wondered if this doll was wearing the proper outfit when I got her in March of 2023. She was included in the gifted "Mountains of Monsters Lot." I still cannot get over the person's generosity...she sent my sister and me 166 dolls (that's double the amount of our largest flea market bin ever). Anyways, Barbie had a code on her back which aided in identification (it matches the stock number on her package). But even without that lead, I still feel it would have been relatively easy to identify her. I have a few other Zoo Doctors in my collection, so I had a feeling what this outfit was intended for. And it just so happened to be on the proper doll still! This lady looks like a combination of Summer and Teresa. I love her caramel colored tresses, tan skin, and coffee colored eyes. She's a natural knockout, and she's definitely more interesting looking than my Pet Doctor Barbie from childhood!
Our Dominican brother, St Thomas Aquinas - whose feast is today (28 January) - is shown holding the Eucharist as he not only composed the liturgy for the feast of Corpus Christi, but wrote exceedingly well about the Church's faith in the Eucharist and the abiding Presence of Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.
On account of this, and his teaching concerning the angels, he is called the Angelic Doctor, as well as the Common Doctor of the Church. As Pope Leo XIII said:
"Among the Scholastic Doctors, the chief and master of all towers Thomas Aquinas, who, as Cajetan observes, because "he most venerated the ancient doctors of the Church, in a certain way seems to have inherited the intellect of all." The doctrines of those illustrious men, like the scattered members of a body, Thomas collected together and cemented, distributed in wonderful order, and so increased with important additions that he is rightly and deservedly esteemed the special bulwark and glory of the Catholic faith. With his spirit at once humble and swift, his memory ready and tenacious, his life spotless throughout, a lover of truth for its own sake, richly endowed with human and divine science, like the sun he heated the world with the warmth of his virtues and filled it with the splendour of his teaching".
This is a detail from the reredos in the former Dominican priory church of Hawkesyard in Staffordshire. The church was dedicated to St Thomas Aquinas.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Believe it or not, one of my first brand new childhood Barbies was the blonde Pet Doctor on the far left of this photo. It's hard to believe that I've had her for most of my life. I got this doll when I was five or six years old, and I still vaguely remember the day when I picked her out. I believe I saved up my allowance money for "Christine," as I dubbed her. I was kind of obsessed with that name, or ones like it, such as "Christina." When I was very small, I was particularly drawn to doctor and animal themed dolls. It makes sense, what with the fact that I was always such an animal person--it was easier to get along with pets than people. I also liked the idea of "caring" for animals or people, which is probably how my obsession for doctor type dolls began. Anyways, Pet Doctor was a staple in our doll family. She was not only the town vet, but also the person doctor too. I used her original vet supplies, paired with my Pretty Pet Parlor, and also my Baby Care Center. Her vet ensemble also dualed as her regular doctor gear. Colleen also took a bit of a shine to Pet Doctor. I recall that we'd trade off on who played her, especially in cases where she was a background character. One of my most vivid memories of this doll is the time I took her on vacation with the family. Mom and Dad took us to New Jersey one summer to go to Six Flags and also a few other places. We were allowed to take one doll each, so I gunned for Pet Doctor, who was presumably my newest at the time. I had stolen a Barbie sized comb around that time frame from a friend's house. I recall that the entire vacation, the stolen comb burned in the back of my mind, and stayed inside my yellow backpack with Pet Doctor for the duration of the trip. I ended up confessing to my crime when we got home, to ease the guilt of my conscience. Even though Pet Doctor had little to do with this petty larceny, I still think of it each time I look at her. As time wore on, Christine did not keep her good looks. She lost a ton of hair back in the day, as I was the sort to compulsively brush my dolls' hair. So she was half bald by the time I was seven or eight. She also lost much of her stuff along the way, and her original outfit became very shabby and grossly stained. But as an adult collector, I was able to remedy these problems. I found her a much better ensemble, and I partially rerooted all her empty hair plugs to restore her luscious tresses!
Since Christine was so shabby even when I was young, it was only natural that I'd jump at the chance to get a second. I found the doll in the middle sometime in the early 2000s. She was at the local flea market, and was still wearing her original outfit. For some reason, my memory was muddled over the years, and I thought I got her stuffed back inside her original box with some accessories. But it turns out that couldn't be the case. I must have purchased her loosely by herself. We dubbed this doll "Jessica," and luckily she maintained her beauty and condition over the years. By the time she joined the family, both Colleen and I were much better at caring for our dolls. She "replaced" Christine in some ways, but we saw them as separate people. Although I was the one who bought this doll, I'd say that Colleen played with her far more. She was enchanted by Jessica's obvious beauty. Unlike Christine, she has a stunningly perfect face (Christine is actually rather wonky). I'm not sure exactly what role Jessica always played, but sometimes she replaced Becky as the "wheelchair ridden" doll. Colleen was obsessed with Becky's wheels, so they were always in use no doubt. However, as adult collectors, it came out that Jessica was actually Becky's girlfriend who in fact was not in a wheelchair. It was a scenario that Colleen must have had brewing in her head for years, but it didn't have the chance to materialize until we were older. It all made sense to me though, when I reflect on my childhood. Whenever Jessica was Becky's "friend," she always had better chemistry with her than any of Becky's male suitors!
Since Jessica had maintained her glory even decades later, we didn't really "need" another doppelganger. But of course, I'm not want to cast out any doll in need. I got this third lady, on the far right, in 2016. She was actually a gift of sorts. That summer, our friend Lisa said we could have what remained of her childhood dolls. We spent a little while scrounging through the basement and the attic space above her garage, on the quest for dolls. It seemed as though the dolls themselves all went missing. We were only able to find a baggy with clothing and accessories. I admit I was devastated that the dolls themselves went rogue. I played with so many of them as a little girl, when I was over Lisa's house. However, in the attic space above the garage, we found Pet Doctor Barbie all by herself. She still looked pristine, as if she'd never been played with. I'm very fond of this doll since she was a generous gift, and the lone survivor of her former doll clan. Colleen and I both thought it would be fitting to name her "Lisa" after our friend!
I seem to be coming back to this image a lot and I'm not sure why. I've been torn up recently since I don't have a studio and the painting has come to a complete halt. Feeling very anxious, completely broke and wondering when the world will stop throwing rocks at me.
7th December 2015: I still have an oil painting based on this if anyone is interested. See: www.flickr.com/photos/chrispoole74/9022324243/in/album-72...
"O Angelic Doctor St. Thomas, prince of theologians and model of philosophers, bright ornament of the Christian world and light of the Church; O heavenly patron of all Catholic schools, who didst learn wisdom without guile and dost communicate it without envy, intercede for us with the Son of God, Wisdom itself, that the spirit of wisdom may descend upon us, and enable us to understand clearly that which thou hast taught, and fulfill it by imitating thy deeds; to become partakers of that doctrine and virtue which caused thee to shine like the sun on earth; and at last to rejoice with thee forever in their most sweet fruits in heaven, together praising the Divine Wisdom for all eternity. Amen."

¿te pondrías en manos del Doctor Muerte?....
Anna llevaba tiempo planteándose lo que hacer, si atreverse con aquella estúpida intervención o dejarla pasar.
Todo por aquella obsesión y adicción por su imagen, pero confundió el camino, se topo con el Doctor Muerte.
Tenía la mala costumbre de jugar a ser dios, un dios terrible y traicionero que mataba por el placer de poder hacerlo.
Dos días mas tarde Anna apareció en una cuneta desnuda y sin riñones....su pecado fue querer tener la belleza que no le dio la naturaleza y su error entrar en aquella consulta.
¿te pondrías en manos del Doctor Muerte?....... Piénsalo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you would put in the hands of Dr. Doom ?.... Anna took time considering what to do, if that stupid dare to intervene or pass up. All of that obsession and addiction with their image, but mistook the way, they bump into Doctor Death. I had a bad habit of playing God, a terrible and treacherous god who killed for the pleasure of being able to do so. Two days later, Anna appeared nude in a ditch without kidneys .... their sin was to want to have the beauty that nature gave him and his error into that consultation. "you would put in the hands of Doctor Doom ?....... Think about it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Avez-vous mettrait dans les mains de Dr mort?.... Anna a pris du temps à imaginer ce qu'il faut faire, si cette stupide osent intervenir ou de laisser passer. Tout cela l'obsession et la dépendance à leur image, mais se trompa de chemin, ils cogner Docteur la Mort. J'ai eu une mauvaise habitude de jouer à Dieu, un Dieu terrible et perfides qui ont tué pour le plaisir d'être en mesure de le faire. Deux jours plus tard, Anna apparu nu dans un fossé sans reins .... leur péché a été de vouloir avoir le beauté que la nature lui a donné et son erreur dans cette consultation. ", vous devez mettre entre les mains du Docteur mort?....... penser.

The Doctor Who Experience Porth Teigr, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff
.
Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord—a time travelling, humanoid alien known as the Doctor. He explores the universe in his TARDIS (acronym: Time and Relative Dimension in Space), a sentient time-travelling space ship. Its exterior appears as a blue British police box, a common sight in Britain in 1963, when the series first aired. Along with a succession of companions, the Doctor faces a variety of foes while working to save civilisations, help ordinary people, and right wrongs.

Hot Toys has really been upping their game of late, and when they're on, they're really, really on. This is one of their best figures, I think. He's just amazing and the details are just wonderful.
And natural light, man, just love it.
I'm a big fan of Doctor Who, so I thought I'd start a series of vector drawings of all the various Doctors.
Paul McGann played the Eight Doctor in 1996.
Seven years after Doctor Who was officially canceled in 1989, the Fox Network and the BBC teamed up in an effort to bring the show back, this time to American shores. They produced a TV movie starring McGann, which also served as a pilot episode. Unfortunately the ratings weren’t high enough to warrant a series. I think the whole Doctor Who concept is just too weird for mainstream America.
The TV movie did quite well in England and has been available on DVD there for years. Legal hassles have prevented it from ever being released in the States, although I hear that everything was recently ironed out, and the DVD will finally be available here in America sometime in 2010. UPDATE: The TV movie was finally just released on DVD in February 2011!
Even though Doctor #8 appeared onscreen only one time, the BBC has stated that he's an official Doctor and part of the continuity. There were even glimpses of him in a couple of the Tenth Doctor’s episodes.
McGann has continued to portray the Eighth Doctor in a series of BBC radio dramas over the years. In fact, if you count the radio dramas, he’s played the Doctor longer than any other actor, including Tom Baker!
There’ve also been many books and even a comic book series starring Doctor #8.
Many elements in the newly revived series got their start in the TV movie. The theme song got an impressive orchestral arrangement as opposed to the old school synthesizer theme, something that's carried over into the modern series.
Also, for the first time since the First Doctor, the TV movie's opening didn't feature the Doctor's face. The modern series continues the faceless opening tradition.
The increased budget finally allowed the producers to build an impressive TARDIS interior. The TARDIS is the Doctor's space/time machine, and is bigger on the inside than the outside. In fact, it contains a nearly infinite amount of space and rooms inside. In the original series, the TARDIS control room was never all that impressive. Technically it was larger than the outside of the TARDIS, but not by much. It was about the size of the average living room.
This new TARDIS interior was huge, and looked like something out of a Jules Verne novel, full of Victorian and steampunk style, and lots of relics from the Doctor's past adventures. I wish they'd have kept this look for the new series.
I haven't seen the TV movie in years, but I remember liking it for the most part. There were a few stumbles though.
The Master, the Doctor's eternal nemesis, returned to plague him in the TV movie. This time the Master was played by Eric Roberts, who gave an outrageous and let's say... flamboyant performance. The Master has always been a theatrical villain, but Roberts' portrayal was way over the top.
Also, in the TV movie the Eighth Doctor revealed that he's half human on his mother's side. This was definitely news to the fans, and did not go over well at all. Why the creative team went that particular route, I have no idea. Maybe it was to help explain the Doctor's obsession with Earth, or to make his attraction to his new human companion more believable. Fortunately the producers of the new series have chosen to ignore that little tidbit of info.
Doctor #8 was the first of the so-called “romantic” Doctors. Up to this time, the Doctor was always seen as a father figure or a mentor to his companions. Their relationship with him was strictly platonic; they never had any romantic or sexual interest in him, and vice versa.
That all changed with Paul McGann’s Doctor. His companion, Dr. Grace Holloway, went all mushy and gaga over him, and at one point they even kissed. It was pretty controversial at the time, and fans were divided over the issue.
In the new series this is pretty much par for the course. Rose Tyler fell hard for the Tenth Doctor, and though he tried to play it cool, the feeling was mutual. His next companion, Martha Jones, had an unrequited crush on the Doctor. In the 2007 Christmas Special Voyage of the Damned, Astrid Peth met and definitely developed feelings for the Doctor all in one episode.
The romance seems to have cooled somewhat with the Eleventh Doctor, which is probably not a bad thing.
The Eighth Doctor is the first since Doctor #4 to not feature a question mark motif in his costume, something for which I am eternally grateful. It's something I always found cringe-worthy. Doctor Who is the name of the show, not the character's name. He's always been known simply as "The Doctor." Wearing a question mark as a nod to the show's title always seemed a little too cutesy to me, and every time I saw it it would yank me right out of the story. Thankfully Doctors Eight through Eleven have been question mark free.
Note that the Doctor's pocket watch is displaying 5:16. That's when the first ever episode of Doctor Who premiered on Saturday, November 23, 1963.
Doctor #8 is a vector drawing, drawn all in InDesign.
Please forgive the ugly watermark on the illustration. I swore I would never add one to my art, because I know that 99.99% of my readers would never even think of stealing it. But earlier this year I had a run-in with an art thief who was not only stealing my work, but selling it as her own! Hence the watermarks. This is why we can't have nice things.
