This was mentioned elsewhere but I thought it was cool enough to deserve it’s own post. The artist is Dusty Abell and they are selling copies on their website here: dustyabell.com/…/star-trek-doctor-who-friendship-…
Ngl, the first panel brought me even more nostalgic joy than the second one.
I find this really cool and I’m really not here to whine, but like, two doctors from Who and THE Doctor from ST is missing.
It’s been a long, loooong time since I’ve uttered these words, but: THAT ABSOLUTELY KICKS ASS. (or Romulan posterior, whatever)
Now, there’s always going to be a quibble, so here’s mine: Leonard Nimoy was about 6’ in actual height, and I believe Jon Frakes is about 6’3" - 6’4," right around Michael Dorn’s height, for example.
Still-- I get it. If the artist is trying to suggest the outsized influence of Spock, I understand. I mean, Shatner was utterly magnificent in his role, but Nimoy was also right there with him, a brilliant, iconic presence that helped turn TOS in to what might have otherwise been “Lost in Space.”
Perhaps they just like the symmetry.
And… what symmetry would THAT be, dude?
I mean artists deserve to be paid and this thing is beautiful and was probably a lot of work but… $50 for a print? Even $60 with shipping?
A full color print that size is easily $30 even if you don’t pay the artist.
I did not know that. I believe you, but it’s seem awfully costly to me.
They’re 27"×40" posters in a limited print run and on good quality paper stock. Plus, the artist promises he’ll ship as many different prints as you want at the same $10 rate. Sounds like a fair deal to me.
Check the prices of mailing tubes that are large enough to hold that print…
Shipping costs aren’t just the price of postage.
huh, I really should get into Doctor who, bc thus far this whole collab is just “eh” for me
Don’t worry, I’m a massive fan of both and I couldn’t be more disinterested
I just watched the last season available on Disney+, and it was quite cool.

“Friendship is universal”
“Also, let’s keep the Doctors and captains together in one block, separate from their actual friends up top” 😆

I only noticed now that McCoy is holding the Seventh Doctor’s umbrella. ‘Bones’ McCoy, that is — not Sylvester. Good in-joke.

True, Picard would be extremely irritated by every Doctor except the first and Kirk would flirt (most likely successfully) with Jodi Whittaker’s Doc.
