Mark Twain (also known as Samuel Clemens) was an author. At some point, the Doctor had edited Twain's first draft of Huckleberry Finn. Twain was apparently horrible at spelling, and the Doctor's editing was what made him able to submit the manuscript. As a reward, he gave the Doctor an original Paul E. Wirt pen. (PROSE: Shroud of Sorrow) He once gave the Doctor a stetson hat, which the latter finally got around to wearing when he visited the Lakota Sioux Nation in his eighth life. (COMIC: Bad Blood)
Behind the scenes
- Many characters in the Doctor Who universe have repeated variations upon a famous misquote of Mark Twain "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated, including the Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Doctors. (PROSE: Time of Your Life, Shakedown, The Highest Science, Another Girl, Another Planet, AUDIO: Nekromanteia, Deimos) In one instance, the Eighth Doctor claimed he was quoting "an old acquaintance" when he did so, (PROSE: The Crooked World) but Twain has yet to be directly identified as the source of this quote.
