Saying that ''all'' of the ''TV Comic'' stories occur during Season 6b is problematic at best. ''[[Action in Exile (comic story)|Action in Exile]]'' – one of the first post-Jamie strips — certainly goes out of its way to depict the Doctor as ''newly'' exiled. You can't even really construct some timey-wimey narrative, in which everything prior to ''Action in Exile'' actually happened ''after'' it. Why? Attempts to construct a timeline that works for the Second Doctor are always frustrated by the need to accommodate John and Gillian's travels with the ''First'' Doctor. | Saying that ''all'' of the ''TV Comic'' stories occur during Season 6b is problematic at best.

So what do we do with these wayward scribbles? '''Say that the Doctor dreamt it all up.''' We've even got a source for that theory. ''[[The Land of Happy Endings]]'' explicitly says that the brats ''were'' just a dream that the Doctor periodically had. Since sanity is valuable, why not avail ourselves of [[Scott Gray]]'s solution? | So what do we do with these wayward scribbles? '''Say that the Doctor dreamt it all up.'''

:One night, while he was a panellist on a game show, the Time Lords finally caught the Doctor and forced him to [[regenerate]], then set the controls of the TARDIS to dematerialise one last time, spinning him off towards the opening moments of ''[[Spearhead from Space]]''. | :One night, while he was a panellist on a game show, the Time Lords finally caught the Doctor and forced him to [[regenerate]], then set the controls of the TARDIS to dematerialise one last time, spinning him off towards the opening moments of ''[[Spearhead from Space]]''. | ||

Given the fact that ''[[The Land of Happy Endings (comic story)|The Land of Happy Endings]]'' explicitly tells us that the Doctor dreamed up John and Gillian, it's much safer jut to consider these dreams, removed from the timeline entirely. Because Jamie and John and Gillian actually are in the same strip — ''[[Invasion of the Quarks]]'' — it's much easier just to believe his TVC exploits with the Doctor are part of that same "dream continuity". There's no particular reason to have faith in the order of these stories, since they're dreams anyway, but for convenience will choose publication order as the order in which the dreams occurred. | Given the fact that ''[[The Land of Happy Endings (comic story)|The Land of Happy Endings]]'' explicitly tells us that the Doctor dreamed up John and Gillian, it's much safer jut to consider these dreams, removed from the timeline entirely.
