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: https://www.dustyabell.com/products/star-trek-doctor-who-friendship-is-universal-print
Ngl, the first panel brought me even more nostalgic joy than the main one.
“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.
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 pastrami, 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?
@Corgana so many Doctors but no Holodoc? 😭
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.
Go grab your favorite JPEG and see what it costs to get a 40”x27” print made. Ouch.
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
I just watched the last season available on Disney+, and it was quite cool.
Don’t worry, I’m a massive fan of both and I couldn’t be more disinterested
And yet here you are…
On Lemmy? Okay…?
Nothing says “not interested” like pulling the comment car over to tell the world.
