- One of Bonjaxx's gifts appears to be the same shape as K9.
Time Lords[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Seventh Doctor asks his future incarnation if they ever repealed the First Law of Time.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The likeness of the "future Doctor" is based on Nicholas Briggs, who portrayed the Doctor in the Audio Visuals series of unlicensed audio dramas; his companion Ria also first appeared in the Audio Visuals.
- A Werelok, a Kalichura, and Meep are seen in this story. It is not explicitly said if they are Brill, Melanicus, or Beep the Meep, prominent members of their respective species.
- Ships seen docking at Maruthea include: Kill-Wagon (Big Cat's ship, the USS Enterprise from Star Trek, and Thunderbird Three from Thunderbirds.
- Not only does this story feature cameos of beings from TV Doctor Who and DWM comic stories, it features cameos of beings from franchises (normally) outside the DWU: Worf and a Ferengi from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Sapphire and Steel, Bart Simpson from The Simpsons, Axel Pressbutton, the Hulk, Death's Head, the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, Cusick and Doot, Captain Britain, and Captain UK, Darth Vader, the Mekon, Emma Peel and John Steed.
- Two individuals are largely obscured by dialogue balloons. As seen in the colourised version, one is a humanoid figure in a red uniform sitting with Hulk and the other is a man with a grey moustache and beard and carrying a bindle. They are likely Captain Scarlet and Catweazle, the main characters of the British TV shows Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Catweazle, respectively.
- Abslom Daak is explicitly present in this story, as is his ship Kill-Wagon. The Draconian and Ice Warrior in this story could be Salander and Harma, respectively, part of Kill-Wagon's crew from COMIC: Star Tigers. Additionally, Vol Mercurius is seen holding a Sensorite in the bar fight.
- Captain Britain is seen three times in this comic, each appearance corresponding to his 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s costumes. While they are never seen in the same panel, this could indicate that Captain Britain is attending this party at different points in his timeline, just like the Doctor.
- This story was reprinted in issue 12 of The Incomplete Death's Head. The final two issues of the framing device run concurrently with Party Animals and show new images of Bonjaxx's birthday party. Bonjaxx, the Seventh Doctor, a future incarnation of the Doctor, Captain Britain, a Sontaran, a penguin, a Dalek, the Silver Surfer, the Hulk, Bruce and Death's Head are seen in both stories.
- New individuals seen at the party include Doctor Strange, Doctor Octopus, Scarlet Witch, Namor, Random, Warlock, Knave, Jester, Doctor Doom, the Thing, Rocket Raccoon, Thor, the Human Torch, Volstagg the Voluminous, Conan the Barbarian, Spider-Man, Lucas Bishop, Ghost Rider, Tigon Liger, Stacy Arnheim, Guillermo Perez, and Apocalypse.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor finally arrives on Maruthea for Bonjaxx's birthday party. (COMIC: Echoes of the Mogor!, Time and Tide, Invaders from Gantac!, Nemesis of the Daleks)
- The Doctor tells Ace to call him "Doctor" instead of "Professor". (TV: Dragonfire, The Curse of Fenric)
- The Doctor alludes to the unforeseen complications involving Bonjaxx's birthday present. (COMIC: Invaders from Gantac!)
