An untitled one-panel comic story was published in the back of TVC 696. Part of a series of regular, non-DWU based comics; the idea behind the story was suggested by a fan of the magazine named M Waplington. Illustrated by Neville Main, the same artist who illustrated all of the early TVC Doctor Who comics, the story is perhaps the first known example of a back-up comic story; printed alongside On the Web Planet. While serious back-up stories would begin to appear within Doctor Who Weekly in the 1970s, comedic back-up stories would not come into style until Titan comics began working on the franchise in the 2010s.
